Hello

Recently started with IB and still on the learning curve. Using IBO4
with
BCB5. What objects should I use in this situation:

I display some contact details (1 row ) to a user who may change the
details, or they may view the details all day without making any
changes.

My initial thoughts were to use a TIB_Query linked to some of the IB
data
aware components so that if the user changed any details, the Query
could
also update the details in the database. But this means the
transaction
could possibly be running all day. (doesn't it?)

I have currently using a TIB_Query, to retrieve the details and I
display
them in normal TEdit controls etc. When the user finally quits the
dialog,
I use a TIB_DSQL object to update the row in the database.

The above works fine, but I get the feeling I'm missing something,
that this
could be done more efficiently.
