Article #25594: Is it possible to connect to InterBase from a Delphi app without using the BDE?

Problem:
For performance reasons, some customers would like to avoid using the BDE
or ODBC to connect to InterBase from thier Delphi or C++Builder
apps. Is this possible?
Solution:
Yes, it is possible to program directly to the InterBase API using C or C++
(API = Application Program Interface) Please refer to the Programmer's Guide
in the InterBase documentation.
There are also two third-party libraries available for download from our website,
that were designed for this purpose.
Greg Deatz' FreeIBComponents ( http://www.interbase.com/download/components.html )
is a Delphi add-on which directly accesses the InterBase API.
With Jason Wharton's IB Objects ( http://www.ibobjects.com/ )
"you can eliminate both the BDE and ODBC from your applications. Access will be
direct to the InterBase API."
As of Delphi 5 and C++ Builder 5 you can also you InterBase Express (IBX).
