Jason,

IIRC it was Delphi 4, but I have nothing older than Delphi 5 at hand
to check.

Yep. That would be better. Overloading should be used for methods that
do the same thing taking different input parameters. I believe this is
not quite the case.

I think savepoints in Firebird 1.5 are just an old internal feature
that was surfaced and given a SQL syntax.
I'm not experiencing anything slower in Firebird 1.5. You might want
to raise your concerns in fb-devel, though.

Ciao
