IMHO, scripts are the right way to do things, once you have established a sense of direction with your design.

>I have been using IBExpert, but I think I will revert to the pure form of creating tables from code as you have outlined. It will help me with visualizing what is going on.Why don't you build ib_sql from the project that is in your IBO root directory? It doesn't have all the eye candy or dumbing-down of IBExpert but is definitely closer to the coal-face if you're the sort who likes to learn by doing. It has a nice script interface, too.
