Hi All,

Is there a way to tell which database you are connected to? I need to know
whether the database is an Interbase or Oracle database. I have a TQuery
connected to the database via a BDE alias available when I'm doing this. The
reason I need to know is so I can change syntax when getting the field sizes
of a table and of course Interbase and Oracle use different syntax.

Thanks for any help!
