Another option (not IBO-specific) that should be very quick, is to use
QLI, the ancient command line tool that Ann masters, but is an unknown
mystery to most of the rest of us (before SQL, I think it was the
standard way of communicating with InterBase). I don't know how it
works, and I have no idea whether it will copy records from one table to
another or whether it removes existing records and makes both tables
identical, but take a look at:
