It looks as if you misunderstood the documentation! You CAN mimic the
AutoCommit behaviour of the "lazy BDE programmer" but with IBO you can have
as much flexibility as you like with your transactions.

There is a default transaction embedded in the TIBODatabase, in which you
can set all of the behaviours you want for that transaction. For
documentation of the properties and methods, see the help for
TIB_Connection and TIB_Transaction, from which TIBO jointly inherits.

If you need to further isolate tasks in other transactions, simply drop a
TIBOTransaction into your form or datamodule. Full doc is under
TIB_Transaction, from which TIBOTransaction inherits.
