Service Component Hierarchy

Go Up to Overview of the InterBase Service Components

The root object of the InterBase service components is TIBCustomService, from which descend TIBControlService and TIBServerProperties. TIBServerProperties contains properties and methods specific to server configuration, while TIBControlService is the ancestor object from which all the database configuration and administration components descend.

The following three components descend directly from TIBControlService:

• TIBControlAndQueryService contains all the database administration elements, such as monitoring, maintenance, and backup and restore, as well as all of the user validation and security elements.
• TIBConfigService contains all the methods and properties for database configuration.
• TIBLicensingService contains all the properties and methods to add and remove database licenses.
