Chris,
Check out all the extra properties. I.E. you can a master source and master
links to automatically line master/detail relationships with tib_queries.
See ordering links also. That's just the tip of the iceberg.

Subject: [IBO] TDataSet vs. Native


I noticed on this newsgroup, that most people prefer to use the Native IBO
components over the TDataSet versions and was wondering why ? I use
TIB_DSQL, TIB_Cursor and TIB_Script pretty regularly, but for binding data
aware components I typically use TIBOQuery. My primary reason for this, is
to simplify the conversion from the BDE, while still being able to use the
existing data aware components I have developed over the years.

When I first purchased IBO, I figured the native components were simply a
carry over from the days prior to Borland unhooking TDataSet from the BDE.
Apparently, this is not the case.

I just read a post where someone was going to convert 150 forms over to all
native components. This seems like a daunting task and was wondering if all
this effort is really worth while, since the app I am converting has
somewhere around 300 forms ? Am I missing something by not using TIB_Query ?
Is performance noticeably better ?
