Hi Enrico,

there are several things you can do, to accelerate data import:

* Dont use TTable for that, use TIB_Dsql with paramas for that !

* Dont use autocommit ! A commit after each insert will be dead slow.
Makeing a commit after 1000 rows, or after importing all the data is much better.

* Deactivating the indexes on your destination tables will speed up the process.

* You may consider to export your Foxpor/Paradox tables as ASCII and than use the TIB_Import
component for this stuff. It´s easy to setup (see TIB_Import.pas notes for that)
