If I'm not mistaken, Holger Klempt said he was going to have the IBExpert
tool ported over to IBO. This would help them a lot to separate the
distinguishing factor of being from the same base of code as well as improve
the speed and functionality of IBExpert.

I'm sure you all know which tool I use... IB_WISQL since I made the silly
thing. So, take my advice about the other tools with a grain of salt...
