Geoff -

Thanks for the reply. I'm trying it now with the dsql
component.
However, all I've done is set the SQL property to use the
previoulsy
mentioned INSERT statement. It's executing one row at a time as
I write
this, no more quickly than the TIBOQuery did. Is there a better
approach
to doing this? Or should I continue to pursue doing this in
multiple
threads?

Incidentally, I'm parsing the data into TStringLists prior to
inserting
into the database. Is there any in memory structure that I
could use to
just jam the stringlist's strings into the table all at once?
You know,
one big simultaneous transaction? Just a thought.

TIA

Dave
