I have to add the suggestion to have a look at the "tech sheet" named
"RAD with IBO" that explains some tricks about how to save a lot of
time and efforts thanks to some possibilities the fabolous native IBO
components provide, i.e. in this case specific the default values in
the connection component and for the Firebird DOMAINS (so valid for
all the fields, whatever query they are, of the same domain).
