You can write your own example.

1. Start a new project in Delphi.
2. Drop a TIB_Connection on the form and set its Server, Path and
Protocol properties. (In your real utility you will want to have the
SYSDBA input at least the Server and Path properties at the login
prompt, though.)
3. Set the Username property to SYSDBA and keep LoginPrompt true.
4. Drop in a button and apply this code:

procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
begin
with IB_Connection1 do
begin
if not Connected then Connect;
if Connected and (Uppercase(Username) = 'SYSDBA') then
try
DropDatabase;
Showmessage ('Database' + Path + ' successfully deleted.');
except
Showmessage ('Request denied. At least one connected user
has a pending operation.' );
end
else
begin
Showmessage ('Request denied. You must log in as SYSDBA to
use this utility.');
Disconnect;
Exit;
end;
end;
end;

Of course, this is an inherently fatal utility, so you will need to
build a lot more exception handling than is in this rough little
routine. You can look at the code that is called by the Drop
Database (cbDrop) button of the IB_ConnectionBar in the IB_SQL code
(IB_SQL.dpr in your IBO root folder) -- it is a much more
sophisticated implementation and it needs to be.
