The easiest way I can see is to use IBObjects. Comes with a data migration utility that will create your autoincrement fields and convert all datatypes and build the database. Has an almost perfect BDE translation (ie each IBO object has an amost identical BDE counterpart) as well as its own more powerful components. -----Original Message----- From: Craig Goodall [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 8 June 2001 20:24 To: Multiple recipients of list delphi Subject: Re: [DUG]: Tuning SQL Hi Mark, > If I wanted to do a "minimal change" port to IB, do I understand > correctly that I am not compelled to replace my TTables with TQuery's > (at least initially).

There's a Pdox to IB datapump tool and white paper on considerations for this stuff if you need it. I forget where I got it, but I have it and could send it to you if you wish.
