pFIBDataSet is compatible with all standard db-ware controls: TDBEdit, TDBGrid, TDBNavigator, etc. On this screenshot you can see that FIBPlus components can be used with TDBChart component.
We have easily converted a standard FishDemo example to FIBPlus. Only standard db-ware controls are used.
IntraWeb components are connected to any TDataSet descendants including FIBPlus. On this screenshot you can see a standard Delphi 7 example with IntraWeb ported to FIBPlus. In contrast to the standard example this one has some improvements due to special FIBPlus features. For example, it is easy to include into your IntraWeb application such a capability as sorting grids using FIBPlus build-in memory sorting.
Our 911 dispatch center needed a program to monitor the status of equipment used in emergency situations. If one dispatcher modified the status of a piece of equipment, all the other dispatchers needed to see this change immediately. The most elegant way to implement this was by using Firebird Events to asynchronously notify all the users whenever a pertinent change had occurred at the database server. After failing to implement this myself using the Firebird API, I bought a copy of FIBPlus. I dropped a Database, EventAlert and ErrorHandler control into a C++ Builder DataModule and within minutes I had all the functionality I needed. I was able to complete the project quickly and the users are thrilled with the results because I gave them more features than they originally asked for. >>
