Currently, it doesn't (I think) but eventually, yes - I think Firebird will
need it's own set of IBX-style components (assuming that's what you mean).
And tha's not because compatibility would be that hard, but more because
John Overcash (the current IBX maintainer) has strong links to Borland (of
necessity) and as such has little or no interest in ensuring Firebird
compatibility.
Which if you take the position that Borland considers Firebird a competitor
now makes a certain kind of sense (at least from their view :-)
TTFN,
Paul.
