Soonhuat, Just to partially repeat what others have said and add my £0.01 worth: a) You should really not use the BDE against Interbase/Firebird. Instead, rather use Firbird specific components, OR use the Firebird ODBC driver with ADO (for example) instead. (See: http://ibphoenix.com/main.nfs?a=ibphoenix&page=ibp_60_odbc The page also includes examples with ADO.) b) You should really generally avoid the BDE these days, as it's not being developed anymore. (Prefer one of ADO, DBExpress etc. ) c) You should really (almost) never use TTable against a server based database (such as Interbase.) TTables are meant for file based databases that supports random access semantics (like Paradox, Access etc.) Using TTable against set oriented (SQL based) databases can quickly cause severe performance degradation as the database grows larger. For set oriented databases (such as Interbase) rather use query based components.
