IBO has already queried the system tables for your upon connecting.
In the schema-cache, everything is already contained.

With simpyl accessing TIB_Connection.shcemacahce.tablenames, you will get
what you need.
if you do an conn.schemacache.tablenames.indexof(tablename)>-1 to see, if it
is the database.

Please look up the IBO-help for further information and the many properties,
you've got there.
