The DBPipeline component can connect to any TDataSet descendant tha supports
bi-directional navigation.

To the use Query Tools from the Data workspace you need a plug-in. Looks
like there is one avialable for download that supports FIBPlus. Check the
following link of our web site:

A more detail explaination follows:

---------


Report's DataPipeline architecture can support data from any source.

1. DBPipeline - connect to any TDataSet descendant. This includes Delphi's
BDE, ADO, IBExpress components as well as the large number of third party
data access products available: Advantage, DBISAM, Direct Oracle Access,
Flash Filer, IBObjects, etc.

One of Delphi's strength's is its ability to connect to almost any database.
ReportBuilder's DBPipeline leverages this technology fully.

2. TextPipeline - access data stored in ASCII files: comma-delimited,
tab-delimited etc.

3. JITPipeline - event-handler based datapipeline used to access data stored
in arrays, lists, objects, etc.

4. Custom DataPipelines - you can create descendant datapipeline to directly
access any type of data source such as database api's, or other proprietary
datasources.

1. ReportBuilder's DBPipeline component can connect to
any TDataset descendant.

TDataSet ---> TDataSource ---> DBPipeline --> Report


2. To use RB Professional's Query tools you will need a DADE Plug-in.

a. Check the ..\RBuilder\Demos\EndUser Databases directory for
end-user examples using a variety of database products.

b. Check out the dade plug-ins section of
our web site. This section contains a list of download links
additional plug-ins along with the name and email address

Please see the DADE newsgroup. There is a thread dated Feb 17, 2004 on this
very subject - the title of the thread is "DADE plugin for FIBPlust 5.x".

You may want to contact the originator of the thread.

Digital Metaphors provides DADE plug-ins for several popular Delphi data
access component sets, but must rely upon the dataset vendors and customer
to provide additional plug-ins.
