In some situations, nothing (well, hardly anything) can beat a desktop
database like Paradox for speed. As Lucas said, C/S databases is about
more than speed - robustness is just one point.

When importing, do use the TIB_DSQL (which you prepare just once).
After the import, there are new pitfalls to avoid ... - just ask here.
