Since you're using IB6, the easiest path is to test your program against FB
1.0. FB is more restrictive. For example, it doesn't allow ambiguous
queries. Reading the release notes is your first step.

Test with FB1. I don't know how well the EasySoft driver works with FB.

IBX is designed specifically for FB. It may give you surprises in the future
if you upgrade FB1->FB1.5->FB2, etc.
