Delphi Informant has published Bill Todd's article about FIBPlus
Fast, flexible and high-performance component library for Delphi, C++ Builder and Kylix intended for work with InterBase and Firebird using Direct InterBase API.
Bill Todd comes to the only conclusion: "FIBPlus is a great choice if you're going to work with InterBase and/or Firebird. The components let you easily use all the features of both databases in your applications. The option to use separate transactions for reading and updating data is particularly valuable with InterBase 7.1, because it lets you keep datasets open for any length of time without worrying about performance degradation caused by long-running transactions. FIBPlus makes using array fields easy by treating them as variant arrays. Macros make modifying SQL statements in code easy. And the ability to sort a result set in memory without having to re-execute the query lets you provide flexible views of data with minimum network traffic and server load. FIBPlus will make your InterBase and Firebird development easier than ever before..."

FIBPlus has taken the headache out of this project. When I got the current contract, FIBPlus was included on the work computer from the client. I quickly found it easier to use and more powerful than any other Firebird component suite I had tested. When I ran into a problem setting up a persistent calculated field, the tech support people saved the day. I would also add that I tested Zeos, IBX, DBGo, UIB, and other FBconnectors. FIBPlus outperformed all of them, and FIBPlus was run on an older machine than the others were. That was most impressive.
