It's really not just a matter of replacing all "string" with "AnsiString",

that might give you IBO in D2009, but probably will fail with TIBODataset
and other Delphi class descendants.

And even then, IBO should make use of the unicode string to get data from
Firebird and send unicode queries to it.
