Many of my sample apps build their own database from scratch. See Contact,
BrowseItems, PriceList and more... They use a TIB_Script component to
generate it.

Subject: [IBO] Creating Databases & Tables


> Hello,
>
> I don't want to go too far off topic in this group but I am just getting
> started with IB, IBO, and SQL in general. I am in the process of reading
the
> IB manuals and *attempting* <g> to get accustomed to the new
terminology.The
> IBO help is also some help. However, if may ask a couple of questions:
>
> 1. Can anyone recommend a good book or two that would benefit a novice
like
> myself in getting started more quickly?
>
> 2. In the apps that I have developed with Delphi and Apollo (I don't use
the
> BDE), I have a habit of building in the ability for the app to create its
own
> tables that it will be using (if they are missing or it is a new
installation).
> Would this same approach be advisable with IB and IBO or are the
databases and
> tables generally created separately from the app?
>
> Thank you in advance.
