In addition, the IBX update provides

• 6 new components on the Interbase tab (5 are aka IBXtras) - of these, IBFilterDialog is extremely cool
  *.hlp files are NOT provided, but this is (link won't work in some browsers)

  C:\Program Files\Borland\Delphi5\IBXtras documentation.doc 
  

• When you right click an IBDataSet, you now get the Dataset Editor option (same as Delphi 6 and above)
• IBDataSet now contains GeneratorField (but no help)
• The IBDatabase component now defaults to SQLDialect 3 (it was Dialect 1 before)

• Introduction To InterBase Express (IBX) by Bill Todd is a must read. It actually explains how to use the IBX components ... in particular IBDataSet. Notice that the IBDataSet Dataset Editor is NOT available in Delphi 5 (until you update the IBX components ... by default, the editor is available with Delphi 6). (Notice that, since the article never indicates which version of Delphi it applies to, there may be additional differences.)

  Notice that the Dataset Editor combo box used to select a table will not work until the SelectSQL property is set and a transaction is assigned. If you use mixed case, dialect 3 tablenames, don't forget to place them in double quotes.

• Building Applications with IBX by Jeff Overcash is interesting.
