IB_Objects.ZIP ( 528 KB ) Please see licensing and disclaimer below.This also includes full source to four sample applications:
IB_WISQL is a very nice compliment to InterBase development.
It makes many routine administrative tasks a snap.
IB_WISQL_EXE.ZIP ( 328 KB )
CONTACT is a sample application included with IB Objects.
This is an already compiled version with a help file.
CONTACT_EXE.ZIP ( 313 KB )
CONTACT_GDB.ZIP ( 298 KB )
Many thanks to Matthew J. Brock in Tucson AZ for his efforts to provide this example.
VDataSet is also a sample application included with IB Objects.
It is similar to IB_WISQL: It has a Connection, Query, and Grid display with some buttons to open and close the query, a NavigationBar to navigate through records and a special button to switch between the BDE and IB Objects.
In the Output area is a DBGrid that connects to a TQuery / TIB_VDataSet depending on which is selected. This makes it easy to compare the BDE verses IB Objects.
Don't expect IB Objects to be faster than the BDE for small datasets. I have designed my buffered dataset to flatten out the performance over a much greater range. In order to do this it is just a little behind the BDE in performance for smaller datasets.
For a full explaination of the benefits with my dataset design see the ReadMe.txt file included with the IB_WISQL sample. It is in the section titled "Query tab".
VDATASET_EXE.ZIP ( 348 KB )

Since this release is for evaluation I am intending to receive feedback from you.
I am trying to keep track of the amount of interest there is.
