This is one reason why I have the TDataset compatibility. Most all of the
help for TQuery and TTable applies to IBO. Thus, the excellent Delphi docs
geared towards helping beginners applies. I assume native IBO is for the
brave and determined. The GSG is our first attempt to produce the quality
level that beginners need and so far it is a great success.

This huge help file is enough for you and other IBO experts, but is
it enough for beginners?

Have a look at the Delphi base help file. There are examples in the
most cases, only a few lines of code, but it helps a lot. I think, this
extention of the documentation could increase acceptance (and
promotion) of IBO enormous. Just my opinion.
