TIB_Dataset is the base class for several descendants, including
TIB_Query. All of its properties and methods are inherited by TIB_Query. A
TIB_Query is already a TIB_Dataset so the output of the query statement is
already stored in a TIB_Dataset! Please tell us what you are trying to
achieve...

The IBODataset property does not pertain to TIB_Query. It refers to the
TDataset, when TIB_BDataset (a descendant) is used as a wrapper for the
TDataset-compatible datasets.

>MasterDataset

The MasterDataset property is used internally when the TIB_Query class is
used as the detail set in a master-detail relationship.

>KeyDataset

The KeyDataset property is used internally when the TIB_Query class is used
as the lookup set in a Keysource-Lookup relationship.

Of course. They are nil because the supporting properties are not used.

Please provide a good description of what you want to do.

How "stateless"? Please describe.
