IBX Change Log version (1.2-3) Tue, 14 Apr 2015 14:11:17 +0100
|
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
1. TIBStoredProc. Prepare now called by ParamByName to avoid need to always
|
| 4 |
call Prepare before setting parameter values.
|
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
2. Error message on ParamByName (all cases) not found now includes name of missing parameter.
|
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
3. Code tidyup and more robust handling of dsql information result vector.
|
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
4. Support for centralised handling of transaction status changes. TIBTransaction
|
| 11 |
has been given additional events "AfterEdit", "AfterInsert", "AfterDelete", "AfterPost"
|
| 12 |
and "AfterExecQuery". The first three are called after the same event is called
|
| 13 |
for an IBCustomDataSet descendent using the Transaction. The fourth is called
|
| 14 |
after a call to TIBSQL.ExecQuery, again using this transaction. These new events
|
| 15 |
enable monitoring of transaction status changes for a given transaction to be
|
| 16 |
handled in a single place. For example, when a change to the dataset occurs
|
| 17 |
an indicator can be set that shows the user that in order to save changes,
|
| 18 |
the transaction should be committed. Rather than doing this per dataset, this
|
| 19 |
can now be done per transaction.
|
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
5. TDataSet.CheckBrowseMode automatically posts changes to the current row when
|
| 22 |
the dataset is scrolled. However, any changes to the current row are, by default,
|
| 23 |
discarded when the dataset is closed. TIBDataSet, TIBQuery and TIBTable now
|
| 24 |
have a new property "DataSetCloseAction" that adds automatic posting of changes
|
| 25 |
on dataset close. If this property is set to dcDiscardChanges (default) then the
|
| 26 |
behaviour is unchanged from previous versions. if the value is set to dcSaveChanges
|
| 27 |
then IBX will attempt to post any unsaved changes before the dataset is closed
|
| 28 |
(and after the BeforeClose event handler is called). The exception is when the
|
| 29 |
dataset is being closed as a result of a transaction rollback. In this case,
|
| 30 |
no action is taken and any unsaved changes are discarded. This avoids both
|
| 31 |
unnecessary overhead and the risk that a validation error may occur in the Post
|
| 32 |
raising an exception and thereby preventing a rollback.
|
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
6. String Field sizes and Display Widths should now be correct for multi-byte character sets.
|
| 35 |
In earlier versions, the Display Width was set to the maximum byte width rather than the character
|
| 36 |
width. Display Widths are now corrected by dividing by the max byte width per character.
|
| 37 |
For UTF8 character sets, the byte width is four and hence the Display Width will be
|
| 38 |
the byte width divided by 4. The byte width of each character set is determined
|
| 39 |
dynamically when the database connection is estabished from the RDB$CHARACTER_SETS
|
| 40 |
system table. (see also http://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=27766).
|
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
7. SQLParser will now correctly parse SQL Text which contains ':' within quoted string.
|
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
8. IBLookupComboEditBox: List should now always be restored to full list when the
|
| 45 |
control loses focus. Default Key press default interval reduced to 200ms.
|
| 46 |
|
| 47 |
9. DBControlGrid: Ensure that selection is changed to newly appended row, even
|
| 48 |
when dataset rows are less than visible rows.
|
| 49 |
|
| 50 |
10. IBDynamicGrid: Editor Panel is not shown on indicator click if Datasource
|
| 51 |
does not exist or DataSet is empty. More responsive on dataset open. New event
|
| 52 |
OnRestorePosition. Column sort disabled if no header row.
|
| 53 |
|
| 54 |
11. IBTreeView: improved handling of response to "Add Node". Avoid scrolling dataset
|
| 55 |
while dataset state is dsInsert. Avoids posting errors.
|
| 56 |
|
| 57 |
12. IBControls: New mechanism for distributing UpdateSQL and UpdateParams events. This is to
|
| 58 |
avoid conflict with DisableControls/EnableControls with Master/Detail linked tables.
|
| 59 |
|
| 60 |
13. IBLookupComboEditBox: Now avoids SQL Errors when combo box text contains single quotes.
|
| 61 |
|
| 62 |
14. TIBDataSet and TIBQuery: new Event - OnValidatePost. This event has been introduced
|
| 63 |
to solve a specific problem. That is when the dataset cursor is moved (e.g. by
|
| 64 |
a grid mouse click and the current row is being edited or inserted. In this case, TDataset
|
| 65 |
always "posts" the current record regardless or whether or not it may be more appropriate
|
| 66 |
to cancel any changes; the post occurs before the "BeforeScroll" event fires due to the way the
|
| 67 |
"MoveBy" function is implemented by TDataSet. The OnValidatePost event is called
|
| 68 |
as the first action of the "Post" method and allows the handler to convert the Post
|
| 69 |
into a Cancel if that is the appropriate action on moving to a different row. This is
|
| 70 |
achieved by returning with "CancelPost" argument set to true. Note that an exception could be
|
| 71 |
raised here, but it may still be more appropriate to validate a post and signal
|
| 72 |
a problem in the "BeforePost" event handler. See readme.automaticposts.xhtml)
|
| 73 |
|
| 74 |
15. On Unix derived systems, the Firebird library name can now be given as a colon
|
| 75 |
separated list. Each library name on the list is tried in turn, in left to right
|
| 76 |
order with the first found being used as the firebird library. By default, on Linux,
|
| 77 |
the library name list is 'libfbembed.so.2.5:libfbembed.so.2.1:libfbclient.so.2'. This can be
|
| 78 |
overidden by the FBLIB environment variable or the OnGetLibraryName function.
|
| 79 |
|
| 80 |
Note: when using the libfbembed.so, if you prefix the database name with "localhost:"
|
| 81 |
then it will still attempt to access the database via the Firebird Server and will
|
| 82 |
require a username and password. If only the pathname is given, then the username
|
| 83 |
and password should be omitted and the unix file permissions are used to grant
|
| 84 |
access.
|
| 85 |
|
| 86 |
IBX Change Log version (1.2-2) Sat, 14 Mar 2015 11:35:04 +0000
|
| 87 |
|
| 88 |
1. A new IBControl - TDBControlGrid has been added. TDBControlGrid a lookalike
|
| 89 |
rather than a clone for the Delphi TDBCrtlGrid. TDBControlGrid is a single column grid
|
| 90 |
that replicates a TWinControl - typically a TPanel or a TFrame in each row. Each row
|
| 91 |
corresponds to a row of the linked DataSource. Any data aware control on the
|
| 92 |
replicated (e.g.) TPanel will then appear to have the appropriate value for the row.
|
| 93 |
|
| 94 |
2. As suggested by Julio Jiménez, a new property "SQLHourGlass" has been added to TIBDatabase.
|
| 95 |
When set to false (default true), the Hour Glass cursor is supcpressed and no cursor change
|
| 96 |
takes place during database access. This may be useful when there are performance issues with
|
| 97 |
the change of cursor. Setting the property to false suppresses the change of cursor.
|
| 98 |
|
| 99 |
3. As suggested by Julio Jiménez, a new property "AutoCommit" has been added to TIBDataSet, TIBQuery
|
| 100 |
and TIBTable. When set to acCommitRetaining (Default: acDisabled), a call is made to
|
| 101 |
Transaction.CommitRetaining immediately after every Post or Delete. This has the effect of
|
| 102 |
making all changes permanent immediately rather than when the transaction is explicitly
|
| 103 |
committed.
|
| 104 |
|
| 105 |
4. Experimental support for the Firebird 3 SQL_BOOLEAN type has been added while still
|
| 106 |
using the legacy Firebird API. Thanks to Gabor Boros for helping to test this feature.
|
| 107 |
|
| 108 |
IBX Change Log version (1.2-1) Fri, 13 Mar 2015 11:14:15 +0000
|
| 109 |
|
| 110 |
Development version only.
|
| 111 |
|
| 112 |
IBX Change Log version (1.2-0) Thu, 26 Feb 2015 10:34:04 +0000
|
| 113 |
|
| 114 |
1. An internal select SQL Parser is now available for TIBCustomDataset descendents.
|
| 115 |
This is typically used during an "OnBeforeOpen" event handler to manipulate the
|
| 116 |
"Where" and "Having" clauses to implement user specified filters of arbitrary
|
| 117 |
complexity.
|
| 118 |
|
| 119 |
2. A new Component Palette entry "Firebird Data Controls" is now available. This has
|
| 120 |
three new data aware controls dependent on IBX and which make use of the SQL Parser.
|
| 121 |
These are:
|
| 122 |
|
| 123 |
- TIBLookupComboEditBox
|
| 124 |
- TIBDynamicGrid
|
| 125 |
- TIBTreeview
|
| 126 |
|
| 127 |
TIBLookupComboEditBox is a TDBLookupComboBox descendent that implements "autocomplete"
|
| 128 |
of typed in text and "autoinsert" of new entries. Autocomplete uses SQL manipulation
|
| 129 |
to revise the available list and restrict it to items that are prefixed by the
|
| 130 |
typed text (either case sensitive or case insensitive). Autoinsert allows a
|
| 131 |
newly typed entry to be added to the list dataset and included in the available
|
| 132 |
list items.
|
| 133 |
|
| 134 |
TIBDynamicGrid is a TDBGrid descendent that provides for:
|
| 135 |
- automatic resizing of selected columns to fill the available row length
|
| 136 |
- automatic positioning and sizing of a "totals" control, typically at the
|
| 137 |
column footer, on a per column basis.
|
| 138 |
- DataSet resorting on header row click, sorting the dataset by the selected column.
|
| 139 |
A second click on the same header cell reversed the sort order.
|
| 140 |
- Support for a "Panel Editor". That is on clicking the indicator column, the row
|
| 141 |
is automatically expanded and a panel superimposed on it. The panel can have any
|
| 142 |
number of child controls, typically data aware controls with the same datasource
|
| 143 |
as the grid allowing for editing of additional fields and more complex editors.
|
| 144 |
- Reselection of the same row following resorting.
|
| 145 |
- A new cell editor that provides the same functionality as TIBLookupComboEditBox.
|
| 146 |
Its properties are specified on a per column basis and allows for one or more
|
| 147 |
columns to have their values selected from a list provided by a dataset.
|
| 148 |
Autocomplete and autoinsert are also available. The existing picklist editor
|
| 149 |
is unaffected by the extension.
|
| 150 |
|
| 151 |
TIBTreeView is a data aware TCustomTreeView.
|
| 152 |
|
| 153 |
3. When getting a field value using FieldByName.AsVariant, an SQL_INT64 with a
|
| 154 |
zero scale will no longer return an error. An Int64 will be returned instead.
|
| 155 |
|
| 156 |
4. TIBTransaction now has events for Before and After Transaction End and a new function
|
| 157 |
"GetEndAction" allowing the EndAction to be accessed by these event handlers.
|
| 158 |
|
| 159 |
5. TIBQuery can now handle correctly queries which contain the same keyword parameter
|
| 160 |
repeated multiple times.
|
| 161 |
|
| 162 |
6. TIBUpdateSQL will no longer return an error when "RowsAffected" is <> 1. This error
|
| 163 |
check used to get in the way of using Stored Procedures, and "Update or Insert"
|
| 164 |
statements.
|
| 165 |
|
| 166 |
7. Insert, Modify and Delete property Editors now support Query Generation from
|
| 167 |
Stored Procedures.
|
| 168 |
|
| 169 |
8. Three new examples illustrate the use of the new IB Controls
|
| 170 |
|
| 171 |
|
| 172 |
IBX Change Log version (1.1-0) Mon, 07 Jul 2014 14:01:07 +0100
|
| 173 |
|
| 174 |
1. TIBXSQLVAR code clean up and optimisation to improve client side "prepare" and parameter
|
| 175 |
setting performance. See "readme.field+param.names in the doc folder.(Thanks to
|
| 176 |
Gabor Boros for reporting this problem and for testing the improvements).
|
| 177 |
|
| 178 |
2. IBX can now support dialect 3 quoted column names that contain spaces and which differ only in their case.
|
| 179 |
See readme.field+param.names in the doc folder.
|
| 180 |
|
| 181 |
3. IBX SQL Editors will now automatically add double quotes around column names when the database
|
| 182 |
dialect is "3" and the column name contains spaces or is a Firebird 2.5 SQL Reserved Word.
|
| 183 |
|
| 184 |
4. Param Type LargeInt now supported in TIBQuery and TIBStoredProc
|
| 185 |
|
| 186 |
5. TIBSQL.ExecQuery retry on failure removed to avoid problems with "at most once"
|
| 187 |
actions.
|
| 188 |
|
| 189 |
6. TIBTransaction.SetDefaultDatabase uses SetObjectProp instead of mis-using SetOrdProp (with
|
| 190 |
thanks to Yuriy Kopnin for pointing this out).
|
| 191 |
|
| 192 |
7. GenerateParamName is now a published property of TIBSQL, TIBQuery and TIBDataSet.
|
| 193 |
|
| 194 |
8. varWord, varShortInt and varInt64 added to TIBXSQLVAR.SetAsVariant and hence now available as variant types
|
| 195 |
for both fields and parameter setting.
|
| 196 |
|
| 197 |
9. Changes to the Select SQL in an IBCustomDataset descendent should now be
|
| 198 |
visible in the Fields Editor immediately afterwards - rather than only after cycling the "active" property.
|
| 199 |
|
| 200 |
10. TIBSQL SQL editor will operate correctly and not report an SQL syntax error on SQL test,
|
| 201 |
when DSQL ('?') parameter placeholders are used and the TIBSQL.GenerateParamNames property is set to true.
|
| 202 |
|
| 203 |
11. TIBTable now has a property editor for "MasterFields"
|
| 204 |
|
| 205 |
12. SQL Property Editors now include a checkbox "Allow DSQL Placeholder". This corresponds to the
|
| 206 |
GenerateParamNames property and should be set when using DSQL (i.e. '?') style parameters.
|
| 207 |
|
| 208 |
13. The IBTransaction editor now has a radio button ("Unspecified") which is set when the combination
|
| 209 |
of settings is unrecognised. Selecting this radio button has no effect on the settings.
|
| 210 |
|
| 211 |

IBX Change Log version (1.0-5) Sat, 28 Dec 2013 19:22:23 +0000
|
| 213 |
|
| 214 |
1. TBookmark change conditional compile changed to >= 2.7.0 to match revised availability of change.
|
| 215 |
|
| 216 |
IBX Change Log version (1.0-4) Thu, 28 Feb 2013 16:56:13 +0000
|
| 217 |
|
| 218 |
1. In a TIBCustomDataset descendent, a generator now only sets the value when
|
| 219 |
it is null. This allows for alternative user defined setting of the generator
|
| 220 |
|
| 221 |
Many thanks to Julio Jiménez for this fix
|
| 222 |
|
| 223 |
2. An Error Dialog is now displayed in the Lazarus IDE if IBX cannot find the Firebird Library
|
| 224 |
and suggests that the user may have forgotten to install it.
|
| 225 |
|
| 226 |
IBX Change Log version (1.0-3) Thu, 22 Nov 2012 22:53:39 +0000
|
| 227 |
|
| 228 |
1. Conditional compilation used to limit registration of TIntegerField to
|
| 229 |
Lazarus versions less than 1.1
|
| 230 |
|
| 231 |
2. When a database connection is created, character set is now by default set
|
| 232 |
to UTF8 (Unix) or to the current Windows code page (Windows) if in the range
|
| 233 |
1250 to 1254.
|
| 234 |

IBX Change Log version (1.0-2) Tue, 09 Oct 2012 09:10:30 +0100
|
| 237 |
|
| 238 |
1. TBookmark change conditional compile changed to > 2.6.2 to match expected availability of change.
|
| 239 |
|
| 240 |
|
| 241 |
IBX Change Log version (1.0-1) Sun, 05 Aug 2012 20:00:04 +0100
|
| 242 |
|
| 243 |
1. In IBCustomDataset. Changed CurBookmark from string to TBookmark for compiler versions > 2.6.0
|
| 244 |
Necessary because of TBookmark type and TDataSet.Bookmark property change in fpc 2.7.1
|
| 245 |
|
| 246 |
2. IBX now registers TIntegerField as a "No Icon" component. This may be removed if the fpc DB
|
| 247 |
package is changed to do this (which it should do).
|
| 248 |
|
| 249 |
IBX Change Log version (1.0-0) Sat, 28 Apr 2012 16:43:00 +0100
|
| 250 |
|
| 251 |
1. Add "if active then active := false" to TIBCustomDataset destructor. (Avoid error on database close).
|
| 252 |
|
| 253 |
2. Make use of $STATIC conditional in IBSQLMonitor (Needed for FPC 2.6.0 compliance)
|
| 254 |
|
| 255 |
3. Database Property Editor: Character Set drop down box now uses "OnChange" rather than "OnCloseUp" to react to changes
|
| 256 |
|
| 257 |
4. Property editors should now correctly resize.
|
| 258 |
|
| 259 |
5. In IBDatabaseEdit.TestClick, the LoginPrompt is now set to the state of the LoginPrompt Checkbox
|
| 260 |
(restored original functionality)
|
| 261 |
|
| 262 |
6. Under OSX, if IBX fails to load libfbclient.dylib, it will now try and load the firebird
|
| 263 |
library using the absolute path /Library/Frameworks/Firebird.framework/Firebird.
|
