I currently use Sybase at work and I am use to its SQL syntax. I've recently
decided to do some "brushing up" with Delphi and have decided to try
Interbase as the database.

I'm having one heck of a time trying to learn Interabase's SQL syntax,
Interbase's "way" of doing things. I have been unable to find one Interbase
programming book. What little I've learned is from searching Deja.com, but
it takes a long time just to learn how to do simple things.

Can anyone point me to a good book or website that teaches Interbase
"style"?

TIA

p.s. Just as a second question; in Sybase I can insert new records into a
database with a unique key and not worry about duplicates by including "with
ignore dups" when defining the index. Does Interbase have a similar option.
Right now what I've been doing is to take all the possible new entries from
my source table and deleting any entries that already exisit in the
destination table. There has to be a better way (I hope).

Again, TIA
