If you use TIB_Connection, you don't get any of the properties from the
TDatabase/TDataset architecture. I have no way of telling whether this
matters in your conditions. As I've said before, you *can* do hybrids,
where there's need for it. But, for an IBO "newbie" who's still thinking
in the TDatabase/TDataset mode, I'd suggest sticking with the familiar and
using TIBODatabase, which also gives you TIB_Connection and the ability to
use explicit transactions (TIBOTransaction).
