depends largely, what you want to get out of the query. Only one column?
Comma-separated values? custom separated values? XML?
If you want the result-set of a query in xml, then go and try this:
TIB_Dataset.asXML :-)
If you need only one column's values, then the best thing to do would likely
be to use an TIB_Cursor and loop through all rows unidirectionally.
If oyu need several column's values, use TIB_Export
