IB Objects is the most powerful toolbox available for developing client and service applications for InterBase/Firebird in Delphi and Borland C++Builder without the BDE, ODBC or any other middleware. IB Objects provides more than 80 components for use with 32bit Delphi and C++Builder. The "native IBO" classes require only a Desktop Developer edition. Professional editions of these products are required only if you need to develop with the TDataset-compatible classes.

What about other component suites?
Other component suites can provide direct-to-API connectivity but they do so at the cost of developer control over the logical aspects of transaction-based data processing. They are bitten by the hand that feeds them. In order to implement access to the physical capabilities of the transaction engine while remaining locked into the memory dependency of the VCL's TDataset, they sacrifice the considerable benefits the BDE provided in the way of task management.

Why choose IB Objects?
From the start IBO freed itself from the restrictions of TDataset and its limiting, local database oriented memory model. From the primitive level of TComponent forward, its classes are built on a foundation dedicated solely to how an object interface needs to interact with InterBase/Firebird with greatest effect and efficiency. Along the way, IBO has succeeded in emulating and improving on the logical task environment provided by the BDE to the degree that a developer can choose to be unconcerned with the physical transaction altogether.

Change Log:

12/23/2021 Version 5.12.3 [Build 3064]

I was able to get my build machine working so I am redoing the release.
I slipped in a few more bug fixes. There was an access violation that could happen when using CachedUpdates and deletes in a master-detail relationship.
I added a new property to determine if in the DisplayLabel property the default value would be the column name with underscore characters _ would be turned into spaces. I added a TIBODataset.FieldOptions flag for this as well.
I enhanced TIBODataset internal cursor handling to behave better when the dataset is being refreshed due to changing something to do with filterings.
