TIBCDataSet is a TDataSet descendant with InterBase\Firebird server specific functionality support. In your applications you shouldn't use TIBCDataSet objects directly. You should use TIBCQuery or TIBCTable objects that inherited from TIBCDataSet instead.

this question was silly, sorry.

What I really like to know is the difference between TIBCDatasource and TDatasource.

Josef

The main purpose of TIBCDataSource is to simplify design-time visual development. Firstly it is situated on the same palette tab as dataset components, secondly - it is automatically catches the nearest dataset to the drop place (within 24 pixels around). These features are quite handy for visual designing.
