Hi

I'm not sure I have explained the issue clearly enough. I feel that if
you set table name to an empty string it should stay that way. It
doesn't make sense for the component to treat it as a reserved word and
encapsulate it in double quotes, its not like you can create tables in
Firebird that have no name!

You cant do this..

CREATE TABLE ""
(
....
)

OR

SELECT * FROM ""


Therefore it doesn't make sense that when you set a table name to ''
(empty string) to indicate unassigned that the component converts this a
string containing two double quotes ("").

Code example

myTable.Tablename := ''; //Set to empty string

ShowMessage(myTable.Tablename); //Displays ""

The above displays "", in older IBo versions it (correctly) displayed a
blank message box.


I can't see that changing my code to assign tablename as "" and having
your components convert that to an empty string makes any sense.

If you don't think a fix to IBO is required please let me know and I
will just change my code to also treat "" as an empty table name.

Cheers
