Sample connection and data show example:

Procedure TForm1.ShowData;
begin
//- set links between components
IB_Query1.IB_Transaction:=IB_Transaction1;
IB_Transaction1.IB_Connection:=IB_Database1;
IB_Query1.IB_Connection:=IB_Database1;
IB_DataSource1.DataSet:= IB_Query1;
IB_Grid1.DataSource:= IB_DataSource1;
//- connection and data show
IB_Database1.LoginPrompt:=True; // show login prompt before connect
IB_Database1.Connect; // connect to server
if IB_Database1.Connected then
begin
IB_Query1.SQL.Text:='SELECT * FROM MyTable';
IB_Transaction1.StartTransaction;
IB_Query1.Open; // open data
end
else ShowMessage('No IB connection present');
end;

Procedure TForm1.CloseData;
begin
IB_Query1.Close;
if IB_Transaction1.InTransaction then
begin
IB_Transaction1.Commit;
IB_Transaction1.Close;
end;
IB_Database1.Disconnect;
end;
