I want to put as much as I can into stored procedures because I will
be using the gdb as a back end for many things - Kylix, TCP/IP via
dial-in, etc.

Question 1. Is it possible/advisable/stupid to use these in
TIB_Query for select, insert, update, and delete?

Question 2. Any workarounds for BLOBS as input parameters for a
stored procedure?

Any input on these questions would be most appreciated.
