Subject Need help on migration from IBX to IBO
Author Franz J Fortuny
I have seen a lot about migration from BDE to IBO, but nothing
concerning migration from IBX to IBO.

I've gone through the installation for BCB6 and now I can see the
components added, ready to be used. However, my application consists
of at least 25 exe's that would need to migrate.

I have experimented with the Greplace tool and it worked just fine.
However, I get zillions of errors and finally the forms can not be
shown.

If there is a person who has gone through this in the past, I would
really appreciate some guidance concerning migration from IBX to IBO.

If such a move is NOT a simple one, then I would like to know, too.

I use IBSQL a lot. I do have all my transactions controlled. Some are
CommitRetaining and some are Commit. In some programs I need a
transaction that commits on two databases.

Why do I want to migrate to IBO from IBX? No, I don't have any
problems (so far). I have had a lot of experience with the BDE and a
database that only works through the ODBC and frankly I prefer IBX to
BDE 1000 times. The users of my application have been growing in the
direction of Firebird. There is absolutely no guarantee that IBX will
continue to work fine with Firebird. However, for all that I have
read, IBO can be considered to be kept compatible with all flavors.

So any help or comments in this direction will be greatly appreciated.
