This sounds fuzzy. TIB_Connection constructs DatabaseName in the IDE and
ignores it thereafter. You can use it for a "friendly name" of your
choice, if you wish.

If you're using an IB_Connection object instead of a TIBODatabase, then
drop a TIBOTransaction into your datamodule. Set its IB_Connection
property and, if you are only using a single transaction, select this
transaction for your IB_Connection's DefaultTransaction.

Set the IB_Connection property of the TIBOQuery to your IB_Connection. IBO
should then do all the necessary things and make sure that the query is
linked to the right database.
