If you want to use 3rd party database tools (like Infopower,etc.) so
your option is to use the Tdataset derived components.

If you do not need those tools you can use the native data access
components with the native IBO controls that are optimized for IB/FB.

The TDataset components only encapsulates a native TIB_Query so the
performance is almost the same (regarding the performance of the data
access components).

IC> Hi guys,

IC> I'm sorry if my questions sound stupid...
IC> I'm just studying IBO Component this week.

IC> Is anyone can tell me, which one that I should use between TDataset Data
IC> Access Component and Native Data Access Component ?
IC> Right now I see that the main difference is that Native Data Access
IC> cannot use any regular database editor component (such as Infopower and
IC> Developer Express), because they using TDatasource as the connections.
IC> Native Data Access has it's own Datasource component, and database
IC> editor (Native VCL Editor).
IC> But, TDataset Data Access can use any database editor because it based
IC> on TDataset.

IC> I see that Native DataAccess has much properties, event & methods that
IC> TDataset DataAcess doesn't have. So, it's true that The Native Component
IC> is better that the TDataset Component ?? Could you guys help me to
IC> decide by telling me the positive and negative value of those component
IC> ?

IC> One other thing, my company had buy Report Builder 6.03, so I HAVE to
IC> use RB to make report. I found on internet daIBO.pas to be use with
IC> RBuilder. The question is, can I use "daIBO.pas" if I choose to use
IC> Native Data Access component ?

IC> Please help me, because I'm really-really confuse about these things....

IC> Thank you in advance, and sorry for my bad English...


IC> Sincerely,
