In looking at SchemaCache, I tried to use CodeSite to view its
contents:

CodeSite.Send('SchemaCache', ibConn.SchemaCache);

but this causes an exception:

---------------------------
Debugger Exception Notification
---------------------------
Project TRAK.exe raised exception class EIB_ISCError with
message 'ISC ERROR CODE:335544569

ISC ERROR MESSAGE:
Dynamic SQL Error
SQL error code = -204
Table unknown
IBO$SCHEMA_VERSION
At line 3, column 1.
'. Process stopped. Use Step or Run to continue.
---------------------------
OK Help
---------------------------

So I then tried to set the SchemaCacheDir to look at what it contains
but get the sam exception.

What items am I allowed/not allowed to access without a schema
database? And what is needed to create a schema db?

Thanks
