Please permit me to digress here for a moment.

One of my clients will be moving to MS-SQL v6.5.  If I am doing VDB 
development offsite and _not_ connected to that database system via a WAN 
and SQL-Links, how could I use a copy (or subset) of its tables for 
development and testing purposes?

Could my local version of Interbase be configured to use that MS-SQL table 
in some limited fashion, say, if the SQL queries were limited to the local-
SQL set of commands?  I guess my question really relates to the capacity of 
(local) Interbase to simulate the target RDBMS.

Your comments here would be most appreciated.  It appears the local version 
of Interbase included with VDB7 is a powerful tool, and I am just seeking 
to understand and tap some of its functionality.
