You will have to recode your stored procedures.

Look at www.ibphoenix.com for papers on that subject and much more; and carefully study the InterBase Data Definition Guide, Language Reference and Developer's Guide.

>Any special Delphi/IB version ?

Any. But Firebird is the most robust free version. http://www.sourceforge.net/firebird

>Any Links with IB Info ?

See the ibphoenix site; also www.interbase2000.org (which unfortunately is down at the moment, should be back in a few hours) and www.cvalde.com

>IB Limitations compared to oracle ?

Off-topic on this list. Differences, rather than limitations. Ask in the ib-support list (http://www.yahoogroups.com/community/ib-support).

>Is the change to IBO components hard to accomplish ?

No. If you have a BDE app and you have converted your database, it will take about five minutes to get up-and-running with a conversion to the TDataset-compatible IBO data access objects IF you follow the instructions in conversion kit (in the help file) exactly.

>Where can i get more info about IBO ?

Here. From the help file. Sample apps in the IBO installation sub-directories. FAQ and tech topics on the web site (www.ibobjects.com). Buy a copy of the Getting Started Guide (link from the web site).
