|
2 |
|
3 |
1. Firebird 4 support added.
|
4 |
|
5 |
2. New FB4 data types TIME WITH TIME ZONE, TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE, DECFLOAT and
|
6 |
extended precision NUMERIC fields are supported.
|
7 |
|
8 |
3. TFmtBCDField is used to support access to DECFLOAT and extended precision NUMERIC fields.
|
9 |
|
10 |
4. TIBDateTimeField and TIBTimeField are introduced in support of TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE
|
11 |
and TIME WITH TIME ZONE fields. These inherit from TDateTimeField.
|
12 |
|
13 |
5. IBExtract now supports FB4 enhancements:
|
14 |
- new data types as above
|
15 |
- Identity column extensions
|
16 |
- Default user role
|
17 |
- SQL Security clause for Database, Tables, Procedures, Functions and Triggers
|
18 |
- Internal Functions
|
19 |
|
20 |
6. IBExtract: new event: OnExtractLines.
|
21 |
|
22 |
7. IBExtract: revert create trigger to legacy syntax see Firebird CORE-6243, CORE-5545 and DOC-145
|
23 |
|
24 |
8. IBXServices: Server version no. parsing now allows any letter before major version number
|
25 |
and is no longer restricted to 'V' e.g. "LI-T4.0.0.1436 Firebird 4.0 Beta 1"
|
26 |
|
27 |
9. TIBDataSet and TIBQuery: new property TZTextOption. Used to determine the default
|
28 |
format for rendering a time zone.
|
29 |
|
30 |
10. TIBDataSet and TIBQuery: new property DefaultTZDate. Used to provide the default date
|
31 |
to convert TIME WITH TIME ZONE data type values to and from GMT.
|
32 |
|
33 |
11. Unit name IBTypes changed to IBInternals. Internal interfaces TIBGUIInterface and TIBTimerInf renamed to
|
34 |
IIBGUIInterface and IIBTimerInf respectively.
|
35 |
|
36 |
12. Constants: DPBPrefix and TPBPrefix moved to IB unit. DPBConstantNames and TPBConstantNames
|
37 |
now accessible as properties of TIBDatabase and TIBTransaction respectively.
|
38 |
|
39 |
13. String Fields: when a fixed character with (CHAR) field is returned, it is now
|
40 |
truncated to its fixed character width rather than being right padded with
|
41 |
white space to the maximum data size.
|
42 |
|
43 |
14. TIBTable.Empty table. In additional to deleting all records in the underlying
|
44 |
table, the internal buffers are now also flushed ensuring that the TIBTable is
|
45 |
also empty.
|
46 |
|
47 |
15. TBatchSQLStatementReader: Line buffer is now cleared on call to reset.
|
48 |
|
49 |
16. TIBXControlService descendents: DatabaseName may now be set using a database
|
50 |
connect string. The database name is extracted from the connect string.
|
51 |
|
52 |
17. DBControlGrid: Minor bug fixes. avoid AV on form closure, avoid black panel
|
53 |
|
54 |
18. TIBExtract: Data type of COMPUTED By columns is no longer included in SQL.
|
55 |
|
56 |
19. Local database on Linux and with legacy API and FB 2.5 embedded server: fixed problem with password
|
57 |
not being present as required.
|
58 |
|
59 |
20. IBTreeView split into DBTreeView and IBTreeView. This former is an IBX indepedent
|
60 |
version that can be customised to work with other database drivers.
|
61 |
|
62 |
21. ISQLMonitor: use platform specific LineEnding to delimit messages. Avoids
|
63 |
unnecessary CR at end of line on Unix platforms.
|
64 |
|
65 |
22. ISQLMonitor: Unix: Default semaphore timeout increased from 1 second to 10
|
66 |
seconds in order to reduce risk of message loss.
|
67 |
|
68 |
23. ISQLMonitor: read and write count statistics now available via:
|
69 |
property TIBSQLMonitor.ReadCount;
|
70 |
IIBSQLMonitorHook.GetWriteCount: integer;
|
71 |
|
72 |
24. ISQLMonitor tidy up and unit split. IPC functions moved to new unit IBIPC.
|
73 |
|
74 |
IBX Change Log version (2.3-5 Build 12350) Tue, 25 Aug 2020 16:11:02 +0100
|
75 |
|
76 |
1. TIBStringField: when a string value is read from a dataset buffer, if the
|
77 |
number of UTF8 characters exceeds the string size then string is truncated
|
78 |
to the maximum string size. This is usually a problem with fixed width columns
|
79 |
right padded with white space.
|
80 |
|
81 |
2. SQLFiltered and SQLFilterParams added to TIBQuery, TIBTable and TIBDataset.
|
82 |
If SQLFiltered is set then when a dataset is opened, each line in the
|
83 |
SQLFilterParams property is assumed to be a SQL condition clause and
|
84 |
ANDed into the Where clause of the SQL Select statement provided as a
|
85 |
dataset property. Each such SQL condition thus acts as an additional filter
|
86 |
on the dataset.
|
87 |
|
88 |
3. The Filtered property inherited from TDataset is no longer used for SQL (server
|
89 |
side filters).
|
90 |
|
91 |
4. IBLookupComboEditBox: Selection should no longer reset to start of text when
|
92 |
text matches complete entry.
|
93 |
|
94 |
5. TIBDataLink: Detail Dataset params not refreshed unless both master and detail
|
95 |
dataset are active (avoids risk of access violation if master is inactive)
|
96 |
|
97 |
6. TIBEvents: Registered property can now be set at design time even if database not open
|
98 |
|
99 |
7. TIBEvents: component now correctly re-initialised after call to UnregisterEvents.
|
100 |
This should prevent "spillover" of events between sessions.
|
101 |
|
102 |
8. TIBCustomDataset: GetNextRecord now called when reseting to first record of a unidirectional dataset.
|
103 |
This should ensure that the internal buffer is set up correctly and avoids
|
104 |
a duplicate initial row.
|
105 |
|
106 |
9. TIBStringField: DataSize now given as byte size of string less trailing any zero character.
|
107 |
That is, the DataSize should be the field size * character set width. The
|
108 |
value returned by DataSize is now the same as the Dataset buffer size reserved
|
109 |
for the field.
|
110 |
|
111 |
10. IBExtract: Tidyup of SQL generation. Avoid unnecessary double quotes.
|
112 |
|
113 |
11. TIBCustomDataset: Add checks on buffer sizes when copying data from row to field buffer
|
114 |
and vice-versa. This may result in an exception being raised (correctly) for
|
115 |
older programs when using dataset fields added to a form and the database has been
|
116 |
upgraded. For example, computed fields can change from 32-bit to 64-bit integers.
|
117 |
In such cases, the field needs to be deleted in the IDE fields editor and then
|
118 |
added back in.
|
119 |
|
120 |
12. IBCustomDataSet: CanInsert, CanEdit, CanDelete and CanRefresh updated to return
|
121 |
false if query contains only white space and not just empty.
|
122 |
|
123 |
12. IBCustomDataset: Blob data is now cleared when TDataSet.Cancel is called. This
|
124 |
should ensure that (e.g.) a TDBMemo is correctly refreshed after a dataset edit
|
125 |
is cancelled.
|
126 |
|
127 |
13. IBCustomDataset: SetArrayIntf should no longer cause an access violation if
|
128 |
called on a null field.
|
129 |
|
130 |
14. IBCustomDataSet: An access violation should no longer occur when calling CancelUpdates
|
131 |
results in an empty dataTC86 Client side Filtered Dataset 1 X
|
132 |
set.
|
133 |
|
134 |
15. IBCustomDataSet: OnUpdateError should now be called in all circumstances when
|
135 |
a cached update is applied and an exception is raised.
|
136 |
|
137 |
16. IBCustomDataSet: Avoid access violation when SetBookmarkData called with nil pointer.
|
138 |
|
139 |
17. Console Mode Local Database support: backup/restore should now work correctly.
|
140 |
|
141 |
18. Local Database Support: if an upgrade fails, a downgrade is now performed if
|
142 |
possible and an exception raised.
|
143 |
|
144 |
19. MinimumVersionNo added to Local Database Support. Database will not open if
|
145 |
below this version no. and upgrade not possible.
|
146 |
|
147 |
IBX Change Log version (2.3-4 Build 12041) Fri, 17 Apr 2020 14:00:32 +0100
|
148 |
|
149 |
1. TIBXDataSet and Generators: Generator Names that are not all upper case or
|
150 |
not SQL Identifiers are now supported.
|
151 |
|
152 |
2. TIBXScript: Set Generator is no longer rejected as unrecognised SQL and is
|
153 |
passed to the Firebird engine for execution.
|
154 |
|
155 |
3. TIBDataSet: Unidirectional datasets now give an error message if an attempt
|
156 |
is made to scroll back.
|
157 |
|
158 |
4. New unit: IBMessages.pas. Contains only messages used by IBX and not FBIntf
|
159 |
|
160 |
5. TIBLookupComboEditBox: When generating auto-complete SQL, the ListField is now
|
161 |
only enclosed in double quotes in SQL dialect 3 and when it needs to be.
|
162 |
|
163 |
6. TIBLookupComboEditBox: when the list source opens, the ListField name is now
|
164 |
validated. If no match is found in the list of field names and the database has
|
165 |
been opened in SQL Dialect 3, then the ListField Name is converted to upper case
|
166 |
if it then matches a field name. Otherwise, a Listfield not valid exception occurs.
|
167 |
|
168 |
7. IBGeneratoreditor.pas: Add missing parenthesis around "IS" statement for compliance
|
169 |
with fpc 3.2.
|
170 |
|
171 |
IBX Change Log version (2.3-3 Build 11512) Fri, 28 Dec 2018 10:04:17 +0000
|
172 |
|
173 |
|
174 |
1. New property for TIBDatabase and TIBXServicesConnection. This is "ConfigOverrides"
|
175 |
and is used to override the default settings in the client side "firebird.conf" This
|
176 |
includes "WireCompression" and "WireCrypt". The value of this property is a "TStrings".
|
177 |
Each line of the string list should be a setting in the same format as "firebird.conf".
|
178 |
For example "WireCompression = true" in order to request wire compression on the client side.
|
179 |
|
180 |
Note: explicit settings in the client side "firebird.conf" appear to take precedence
|
181 |
over settings given in TIBDatabase and TIBXServicesConnection. Many client side settings
|
182 |
also require a compatible setting in the server side "firebird.conf". For example
|
183 |
"WireCompression = true" must also be set in the server's "firebird.conf" for wire
|
184 |
compression to be used.
|
185 |
|
186 |
Whether or not WireCompression or WireCrypt are in use can be checked using the information
|
187 |
returned with the Client/Server protocol version. See ibx/examples/dbadmin and
|
188 |
ibx/examples/dbinfo for examples of how to display this information.
|
189 |
|
190 |
2. New property for TIBDatabase and TIBXServicesConnection: "WireCompression". This
|
191 |
is a "convenience" property. If set the "WireCompression=true" is added to the
|
192 |
ConfigOverrides. If unchecked then this setting is removed.
|
193 |
|
194 |
3. TIBExtract: 64-bit integer types are now correctly extracted as "BIGINT" and
|
195 |
not "INT64".
|
196 |
|
197 |
4. New published properties for TIBCSVDataOut, TIBInsertStmtsOut and TIBBlockFormatOut
|
198 |
These are:
|
199 |
property TimestampFormat: string;
|
200 |
property DateFormat: string;
|
201 |
property TimeFormat: string;
|
202 |
|
203 |
Respectively, these provide the date time format templates for SQL types: TIMESTAMP,
|
204 |
DATETIME and TIME. The format strings use the standard FPC date/time format
|
205 |
characters (see https://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/rtl/sysutils/formatchars.html).
|
206 |
|
207 |
If any of the above properties are set to an empty string, then the locale default
|
208 |
is used. This uses the ShortDateFormat and the LongTimeFormat. In timestamp, the
|
209 |
locale default is extended by appending '.zzz' to include milliseconds.
|
210 |
|
211 |
TIBCSVDataOut by default sets these properties to the empty string, while the other
|
212 |
two use: 'yyyy.mm.dd hh:nn:ss.zzz', 'yyyy.mm.dd' and 'hh:nn:ss.zzz' respectively.
|
213 |
|
214 |
5. New published property for TIBCSVDataOut:
|
215 |
property QuoteStrings: boolean (default true)
|
216 |
|
217 |
If false then strings are unquoted, otherwise, the QuoteChar property value is
|
218 |
used to delimit each and every string in the output.
|
219 |
|
220 |
6. New published properties for TIBCSVDataOut:
|
221 |
property FieldSeparator: string;
|
222 |
property HeaderSeparator: string;
|
223 |
|
224 |
Respectively, these provide the separator character(s) used to separate fields
|
225 |
in data and header rows. Both default to ','.
|
226 |
|
227 |
7. New published properties for TIBCSVDataOut and TIBBlockFormatOut:
|
228 |
TOnFormatTextString = procedure(sender: TObject; var TextString: string) of object;
|
229 |
property OnFormatTextString;
|
230 |
|
231 |
This event handler can be used to process text strings before they are included
|
232 |
in the output e.g. to replace unprintable characters with alternative strings.
|
233 |
This only applies to columns with an SQL Type of SQL_VARYING and SQL_TEXT.
|
234 |
|
235 |
8. TIBDataSet now raises an exception when ParamByName called with an invalid parameter name.
|
236 |
Uses "FindParam" if in order to find out if a parameter with a given name exists
|
237 |
and without raising and exception if it does not.
|
238 |
|
239 |
9. TIBQuery now uses IBX SQL Parser instead of the TParams SQL parser in order to ensure
|
240 |
consistency with SQL queries.
|
241 |
|
242 |
10. CaseSensitiveParameterNames property added to TIBSQL, TIBDataSet and TIBQuery.
|
243 |
When true, SQL statement parameter names are parsed case sensitive. Note for
|
244 |
TIBDataSet only applies to Select query.
|
245 |
|
246 |
11. IBEvents: removing a TIBEvent component from a form should no longer result in
|
247 |
an IDE exception.
|
248 |
|
249 |
12. LocalDBSupport: initial database creation should now work correctly
|
250 |
when the schema source is an sql file.
|
251 |
|
252 |
13. TIBCMLocalDBSupport: new event handler "property OnProgressEvent: TOnProgressEvent"
|
253 |
when defined, this handler will be called by the internal TIBXScript during
|
254 |
initial database creation when the schema source is an sql file and may be used
|
255 |
to provide a visual indication of progress in console mode.
|
256 |
|
257 |
14. TCustomIBLocalDBSupport: new public property "InOnCreateDB: boolean". This is set
|
258 |
to true while a new local database is being created and its schema populated.
|
259 |
Useful in (e.g.) TIBDatabase.OnAfterConnect handler to suppress actions
|
260 |
when the database is disconnected/connected during the create DB procedure.
|
261 |
|
262 |
15. TIBXScript: any User/password parameters found in a CREATE DATABASE statement
|
263 |
are now always ignored and replaced by the user name and password provided as
|
264 |
the login parameters for the TIBDatabase referenced from the TIBXScript. The
|
265 |
IgnoreCreateDatabase property still applies and the CREATE DATABASE statement is
|
266 |
completely ignored if this property is true.
|
267 |
|
268 |
16. Code tidyup in IBTreeView: Node properties initialisation moved from TIBTreeView.AddNodes
|
269 |
to TIBTreeView.Added. An OnAddition event handler is no longer needed to initialise
|
270 |
ImageIndex and SelectImageIndex values on AddNode.
|
271 |
|
272 |
17. TIBDatabase.Attachment and TIBXServicesConnection.ServicesIntf properties are now
|
273 |
read/write. This should enabled (e.g.) multiple instances of TIBDatabase to share
|
274 |
the same database connection.
|
275 |
|
276 |
18. TIBDataSet and TIBQuery now support the TDataSet "Filter" property.
|
277 |
if provided, this should be an conditional SQL expression suitable for
|
278 |
including in an SQL Select statement "where" clause. If non-empty and the
|
279 |
"Filtered" property is true then the SQL expression provided as the value of
|
280 |
the "Filter" property is "ANDed" with any existing condition statement
|
281 |
in the SQL statement's "Where" clause.
|
282 |
|
283 |
If the "Filter" property is set at run time, the "Filtered" property is true
|
284 |
and the dataset is already open, then the dataset is closed and re-opened automatically.
|
285 |
|
286 |
The "Filter" condition may include IBX style parameters. In which case, their
|
287 |
value must be set by the dataset's "OnBeforeOpen" event handler.
|
288 |
|
289 |
This is a public property for TIBDataSet and TIBQuery query and intended for
|
290 |
use at run time.
|
291 |
|
292 |
Note: The property is a published property of TIBTable. The TIBTable functionality
|
293 |
is unaffected by this change.
|
294 |
|
295 |
IBX Change Log version (2.3-2) Wed, 05 Dec 2018 12:19:23 +0000
|
296 |
|
297 |
1. Remove need to check for IsMultiThread by providing access to GUI timers via
|
298 |
IBGUIInterface. Note: master/detail delay timer does not apply to console
|
299 |
mode apps.
|
300 |
|
301 |
2. TIBCustomDataSet: SQLParser ignored if it does not contain a valid select
|
302 |
statement. This avoids problems if "Execute Block" is used as the Query.
|
303 |
|
304 |
3. IBSQLParser now uses the common SQL tokeniser from fbintf. This replaces the
|
305 |
internal SQL tokeniser routines.
|
306 |
|
307 |
4. IBSQLParser: new property NotaSelectStmt. Set to true if SQL fails to parse
|
308 |
as a select statement, with or without CTEs.
|
309 |
|
310 |
5. IBSQLParser: parser now recognises the "ROWS" clause.
|
311 |
|
312 |
6. TIBXScript now uses the common SQL tokeniser from fbintf. This replaces the
|
313 |
internal SQL tokeniser routines.
|
314 |
|
315 |
7. Fix error in TIBXScript processing of "set" statements. This avoids exceptions
|
316 |
being raised for valid set statements processed by a data formatter.
|
317 |
|
318 |
8. New published property for TIBDatabase and TIBXServicesConnection. This is
|
319 |
FirebirdLibraryPathName: string. If not empty it is used to explicitly specify
|
320 |
the path of the Firebird Library used by the database/services connection.
|
321 |
|
322 |
9. New read only public property for TIBDatabase and TIBXServicesConnection. This
|
323 |
is FirebirdAPI and returns the IFirebirdAPI interface used by the database/
|
324 |
services connection.
|
325 |
|
326 |
10.SQL Property editors now quote parameter names if "Quote identifier" is selected
|
327 |
or param name is not a valid SQL identifier.
|
328 |
|
329 |
11. IBLookupComboEditBox: In Lazarus 2.0, TDBLookupComboBox takes a more restrictive
|
330 |
view of whether the text box should be editable when no DataSource is specified.
|
331 |
TIBLookupComboEditBox has been updated to workaround this problem. As long as
|
332 |
ReadOnly is false, the text box is editable when no DataSource is specified.
|
333 |
|
334 |
12. AllowUseOfFBLIB is now set to "true" at design time. This is to allow use of
|
335 |
the FBLIB environment variable. If you do not want to permit this then you
|
336 |
must modify the Register procedure in the design/IBDBReg.pas unit to remove
|
337 |
this setting.
|
338 |
|
339 |
IBX Change Log version (2.3-1) Thu, 25 Oct 2018 14:39:45 +0100
|
340 |
|
341 |
1. IBCustomDataset: replace deprecated function ValidUTF8String with call to
|
342 |
Utf8EscapeControlChars
|
343 |
|
344 |
IBX Change Log version (2.3-0) Mon, 16 Apr 2018 09:48:06 +0100
|
345 |
|
346 |
IMPORTANT: the source code tree has been re-organised for IBX 2.3. Please remove
|
347 |
all previous copies of the IBX source code tree before installing this release.
|
348 |
|
349 |
The IBX packages used by most users have not changed, with one exception. The
|
350 |
IBServices unit has been moved to the package iblegacyServices.lpk. To continue
|
351 |
to use the IBServices unit in your applications, please add the iblegacyServices
|
352 |
to the list of dependencies. To do this, open the Project Inspector and select
|
353 |
Add->New Requirement and select "ibLegacyServices" from the list of available
|
354 |
packages.
|
355 |
|
356 |
1. New unit IBXServices. The IBXServices unit is a re-architectured update of
|
357 |
the IBServices unit providing what is intended to be a clearer and easier to
|
358 |
use set of IB Services components. See Chapter 10 of the IBX User Guide for
|
359 |
more information and the guide to "Firebird Service Management Using IBX".
|
360 |
As indicated above, the legacy services components are still available and
|
361 |
provided in a separate package. There is no need to update working applications
|
362 |
using the older versions except for an additional package dependency.
|
363 |
|
364 |
2. The IBX packages and source code tree have been re-organised in an attempt to
|
365 |
finally get rid of the "duplicate ppu" warnings. This re-organisation should
|
366 |
not affect existing users. Section 2.3 of the IBX User Guide describes the
|
367 |
new set of IBX packages.
|
368 |
|
369 |
3. The ibx/examples/DBAdmin and the ibx/examples/services example have been
|
370 |
updated to use the new Services API components.
|
371 |
|
372 |
4. The iblocal package has been updated to use the new Services API components.
|
373 |
|
374 |
5. procedure SetAutoAdmin; in the new IBX Services this method is now a member of
|
375 |
TIBXSecurityService. It had been wrongly classified in the previous version
|
376 |
as a per database configuration item. It is global to a server and hence
|
377 |
correctly positioned as part of the Security Package. In the DBAdmin example,
|
378 |
the setting has moved to the mappings page.
|
379 |
|
380 |
6. TIBXScript: IgnoreCreateDatabase added. If true then CREATE DATABASE statements
|
381 |
are ignored.
|
382 |
|
383 |
7. TIBDatabase: DropDatabase now ensures that all transactions have been properly
|
384 |
closed before the database is dropped. Before and After Disconnect event handlers
|
385 |
are also fired.
|
386 |
|
387 |
8. TIBTransaction: OnStartTransaction event now fires every time the transaction
|
388 |
is started and not just the first time.
|
389 |
|
390 |
9. IBDataOutput: Use FormatFloat for all performance statistics to avoid platform
|
391 |
depenendency with comp type.
|
392 |
|
393 |
10. IBDataOutput: select query data output is now sent to stdout instead of stderr.
|
394 |
|
395 |
11. TIBDatabase: Remove regression. If a user login dialog changes the DatabaseName
|
396 |
then this is recognised and not ignored.
|
397 |
|
398 |
12. TIBDataSet, TIBQuery, TIBTable: additions:
|
399 |
function GetRowsAffected(var SelectCount, InsertCount, UpdateCount, DeleteCount: integer): boolean;
|
400 |
function GetPerfStatistics(var stats: TPerfCounters): boolean;
|
401 |
property EnableStatistics: boolean read FEnableStatistics write SetEnableStatistics;
|
402 |
|
403 |
GetRowsAffected returns the affected row counts from the last insert/update/delete
|
404 |
if EnableStatistics = true then GetPerfStatistics returns the current stats
|
405 |
counters for the select query. Note: stats accumulate after each fetch from
|
406 |
the database. To get total query cost after open, call the "Last" method
|
407 |
and then GetPerfStatistics.
|
408 |
|
409 |
See ibx/examples/consolemode for an example of the use of GetPerfStatistics
|
410 |
|
411 |
13. TIBExtract: Identity columns DDL. "Start with clause" now correctly encapsulated
|
412 |
in parenthesises.
|
413 |
|
414 |
14. TIBExtract: new published property "AlwaysQuoteIdentifiers". If true then in dialect 3
|
415 |
SQL identifiers are always delimited by double quotes. If false, then they are
|
416 |
only delimited if the identifier is a reserved word, contains lower case or special
|
417 |
characters. Set this property to true to retain previous behaviour.
|
418 |
|
419 |
15. Insert SQL Property Editor. In Insert Returning Clause, Identity column names
|
420 |
are now inserted in double quotes if not Reserved Words or valid SQL Identifiers.
|
421 |
|
422 |
16. TIBDataSet, TIBQuery, TIBTable: addition:
|
423 |
property MasterDetailDelay: integer {defaults to zero}
|
424 |
|
425 |
When non-zero and the dataset is a detail table referencing a master table
|
426 |
through either a MasterSource (TIBTable) or a DataSource (TIBDataSet, TIBQuery)
|
427 |
then a synchronisation delay is added (in milliseconds) between the master
|
428 |
row changing and the detail dataset being re-opened. If the master dataset
|
429 |
is scrolled before the delay expires then the delay is reset. This can be used
|
430 |
to avoid performance overheads when scrolling through a large master dataset.
|
431 |
|
432 |
Note: uses fptimer and hence requires a thread manager. Under Linux the
|
433 |
chreads unit must be included in your project. TTimer is not used in order
|
434 |
to avoid an LCL dependency. Requires FPC 3.0.2 or later.
|
435 |
|
436 |
17. TIBExtract: User role grants now excluded when etGrantsToUser not specified
|
437 |
with Extract Option eoDatabase.
|
438 |
|
439 |
18. TIBLookupComboEditBox: Workaround added for https://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=33428
|
440 |
When a deLayoutChanged event is reported on the ListSource dataset, the
|
441 |
combobox text is updated. This allows a listsource (detail) to be in a Master/Detail
|
442 |
relationship with the control's datasource (master).
|
443 |
|
444 |
19. TIBExtract: Full BigInt value range now supported for Generators/Sequences.
|
445 |
|
446 |
20. TIBExtract: Select Procedures (Procedure type 1) now include "SUSPEND;" clause in their
|
447 |
stubs. Pedantic fix really, as procedures output in dependency order anyway.
|
448 |
|
449 |
21. TIBExtract: Package Headers and Package Bodies are now included in the extracted
|
450 |
DDL (Firebird 3 and later only).
|
451 |
|
452 |
22. TIBLookupComboBox Autocomplete Fixes:
|
453 |
i. Only appended text is now selected after autocomplete.
|
454 |
ii. Uppercase keys no longer ignored for autocomplete.
|
455 |
iii. Retain Prefix case is now honoured correctly.
|
456 |
iv. When a DataSource is assigned, typing after autocomplete now extends prefix
|
457 |
before autocomplete performed. i.e. behaviour now the same as when
|
458 |
no DataSource assigned.
|
459 |
|
460 |
23. TIBXScript: Single Line Comments starting with '--' are now ignored when occurring
|
461 |
between SQL statements.
|
462 |
|
463 |
24. TIBExtract: New published property CaseSensitiveObjectNames. If false (default) then
|
464 |
ObjectNames are converted to upper case before matching against metadata object
|
465 |
names, unless the objectname is delimited by double quotes, in which case, the
|
466 |
double quotes are removed and the remaining string is used (unmodified) to match
|
467 |
against the metadata object name.
|
468 |
|
469 |
If true then the ObjectName is used as is without modification and matched
|
470 |
against the metadata object name. No attempt is made to remove double quotes.
|
471 |
|
472 |
25. TIBExtract: New Extract Types: etDatabaseTriggers and etDDLTriggers. When used
|
473 |
with eoTrigger, these extract types can be used to select only Database Triggers,
|
474 |
or DDL Triggers or both. Ignored when etTable or etTrigger included in Extract Types.
|
475 |
|
476 |
26. TIBXScript: If an exception occurs during the processing of a statement, the
|
477 |
statement separate character is now reset to the default (';').
|
478 |
|
479 |
27. TIBDatabase: Reconnect method added and used by TIBXScript for reconnect.
|
480 |
|
481 |
28. TIBXScript: Transaction is no longer automatically reactivated immediately processing
|
482 |
a commit or reconnect statement and instead activated only when next SQL statement
|
483 |
is executed.
|
484 |
|
485 |
29. TIBSQL.HasField should no longer generate and exception when the field does not exist.
|
486 |
|
487 |
30. TIBXScript: case insensitive regex now used when matching statements instead of
|
488 |
converting statement to upper case.
|
489 |
|
490 |
31. TIBExtract: metadata comments now supported. New published property
|
491 |
IncludeMetaDataComments (default true). If true then metadata comments included
|
492 |
in extracted DDL. New Extract Object member eoComments. This may be used with
|
493 |
ExtractObject method to list all metadata comments.
|
494 |
|
495 |
32. TIBExtract: ListObjectNames method added.
|
496 |
|
497 |
33. Updated Database component editor to support additional connection string
|
498 |
types.
|

IBX Change Log version (2.2-0) Wed, 28 Feb 2018 10:57:45 +0000
|
501 |
|
502 |
NOTE: THE LOCATIONS OF SOME OF THE UNIT DIRECTORIES HAS CHANGED FROM IBX 2.1. THIS IS TO
|
503 |
AVOID DUPLICATE PPU WARNINGS. PLEASE REMOVE EARLIER VERSIONS OF IBX BEFORE INSTALLING THIS
|
504 |
RELEASE.
|
505 |
|
506 |
NOTE: THE DBADMIN DEMO REQUIRES THAT THE MemDSLaz PACKAGE IS INSTALLED IN THE LAZARUS IDE.
|
507 |
|
508 |
1. IBExtract: Identity columns - add additional check for null column for generator name.
|
509 |
|
510 |
2. IBCustomDataSet: Insert and Modify (Update) queries now recognise and process SQL RETURNING clauses.
|
511 |
The main use for this is for Firebird 3 Identity columns (see IBXDocumentation 6.6.8 for further
|
512 |
information). However, this is also a very useful mechanism for returning updated computed by
|
513 |
column values. Values returned as a result of executing an Insert or Update statement
|
514 |
replace existing values in the current row for each corresponding column.
|
515 |
|
516 |
Previously, if a dataset's select query included read only (computed by) fields then
|
517 |
an automatic row refresh was performed after an insert or update query had been processed,
|
518 |
irrespective of the setting of the "ForcedUpdates" property. This has changed such
|
519 |
that an automatic refresh is no longer performed if an insert or update query contains
|
520 |
a returning clause that updates one or more fields on the current row. A full row
|
521 |
refresh is only performed if (a) ForcedRefresh is true or (b) the query does not return any
|
522 |
field values and the select query contains read only fields. Use of Insert/update
|
523 |
returning should be significantly more efficient than executing a refresh query.
|
524 |
|
525 |
This behaviour change is intended to be backwards compatible and there should be no need to change
|
526 |
existing programs, other than to improve performance by using the new capability.
|
527 |
|
528 |
3. IBCustomDataSet: DELETE...RETURNING queries are now also recognised. However, as
|
529 |
they are called when the dataset row is being deleted, there is no value in
|
530 |
updating the current record from the query result. Instead, a new event handler
|
531 |
"OnDeleteReturning" is provided. If a DELETE...RETURNING query is execute and
|
532 |
an OnDeleteReturning event handler is provided then it is called with the IResults returned
|
533 |
by the query. The event handler can then interrogate the query results and
|
534 |
perform whatever action is necessary. For example to confirm, to the user,
|
535 |
the deletion of a row with the returned values.
|
536 |
|
537 |
4. TIBTable: generated Insert and Update SQL now include a RETURNING clause for
|
538 |
any Computed By or Identity Columns. The IBTables example has been updated to
|
539 |
illustrate the computation of the employee Full Name on update.
|
540 |
|
541 |
5. TIBTable: The GeneratorField property is now published.
|
542 |
|
543 |
6. The InsertSQL property editor now shows Firebird 3 Identity columns separate from the Field List.
|
544 |
When InsertSQL is generated, the Identity columns are not included in the list of values to
|
545 |
be inserted. A RETURNING clause is added to the insert statement to return the value of
|
546 |
each Identity column after the insert is executed.
|
547 |
|
548 |
7. The Modify Property Editor now generates Update SQL with Computed By fields in Update..Returning clause.
|
549 |
Similarly Insert Property Editor now generates Insert SQL with Computed By fields in
|
550 |
Insert..Returning clause.
|
551 |
|
552 |
8. TIBGenerator: small performance improvement by not preparing query each time
|
553 |
a new value is generated.
|
554 |
|
555 |
9. TIBSQL: Free resources when transaction changed - ensures new transaction is used.
|
556 |
|
557 |
10. Property editors will now sync table name to a System Table when "Include System
|
558 |
Tables" is selected and the query is for a System Table.
|
559 |
|
560 |
11. Minor Performance improvement to handling of Date/Time types in IBX datasets. Field
|
561 |
values are no longer converted to milliseconds from TDateTime and then back again
|
562 |
to TDateTime (the conversion to milliseconds is the default TDataset approach).
|
563 |
|
564 |
12. Property Editors handling of Stored Procedures.
|
565 |
* Select and Refresh: only show a list of stored procedures that return multiple rows (proc type 1) and
|
566 |
which have a non-empty list of output parameters (i.e. stored procedures that may be used in a select
|
567 |
query).
|
568 |
* Modify and Insert: only show a list of stored procedures that return at most a singleton row (proc type 2).
|
569 |
|
570 |
13. IBStoredProc: Now supports Firebird 3 Package Names. A new published property PackageName
|
571 |
can be used to select a package. If non-empty, the stored procedure name is
|
572 |
expected to be a stored procedure defined in the specified package and the
|
573 |
generated SQL will be as required for a stored procedure located in a package.
|
574 |
|
575 |
14. Select, Refresh, Insert, Modify, Delete and TIBSQL SQL Property Editors now include
|
576 |
a "Package Name" drop down box to allow selection of a Firebird 3 Package from
|
577 |
which a stored procedure can be selected. With no package name selected, non-package
|
578 |
stored procedures are listed.
|
579 |
|
580 |
15. TIBXScript: turn off database login prompt when reconnecting - this avoids prompting
|
581 |
for password on reconnect.
|
582 |
|
583 |
16. TIBDatabase: use IAttachment for connection default character set id, code page
|
584 |
and character set name.
|
585 |
|
586 |
17. TIBDatabaseInfo: cache ODS Version information on first request in order to minimise
|
587 |
DB info lookups"
|
588 |
|
589 |
18. IBExtract: now supports DDL Triggers and Grants to DDL objects.
|
590 |
|
591 |
19. Add a property Editor for TIBUpdate.RefreshSQL.
|
592 |
|
593 |
20. IBUpdate: Ignore non-data (e.g. calculated) fields when assembling list of input
|
594 |
parameters. This stops an exception being raised when the field cannot be
|
595 |
located in the record buffer.
|
596 |
|
597 |
21. Property Editors now automatically include System Tables when opened and when the query table
|
598 |
is a System Table.
|
599 |
|
600 |
22. IBServices: SQRB and SRB buffers are now reset when service query throws an exception.
|
601 |
This avoids errors due to a stale SQRB or SRB being used for the next query.
|
602 |
|
603 |
23. IBServices: Service attach parameters now include "expected_db". This is used to
|
604 |
add the SPB item isc_spb_expected_db. This names a database using
|
605 |
an alternative Security Database (FB3 onwards) and allows (e.g. backup/restore) using such a
|
606 |
database. examples/services re-written to illustrate use of "expected_db".
|
607 |
|
608 |
24. IBServices: TIBControlAndQueryService.WriteNextChunk no longer ignores isc_info_svc_timeout.
|
609 |
This avoids truncated backups when the server returns a timeout (busy) response.
|
610 |
|
611 |
25. TIBDatabase: isc_dpb_page_size now supported as a database parameter when using TIBDatabase.CreateDatabase.
|
612 |
|
613 |
26. TIBDatabase: DatabaseName property may now be prefixed by $TEMP$ or $DATADIR$ for local
|
614 |
databasenames. These are respectively expanded to the local system's temp directory
|
615 |
(including trailing delimiter) or to a prescribed data directory (including
|
616 |
trailing delimiter). Under Unix systems the data directory is a hidden directory
|
617 |
in the user's home directory. The hidden directory name is either the string returned
|
618 |
from the SysUtils "Vendor Name" or "IBX" if empty. In either case prefixed by a '.'.
|
619 |
Under Windows, the directory is the same as the Data Directory as decribed
|
620 |
above but instead prefixed by the User's application data path. These may be
|
621 |
used to improve application portability for Personal Databases.
|
622 |
|
623 |
27. TIBTable: FieldDefs property is no longer published. Due to the use of TIBFieldDef
|
624 |
this has not worked for a long time and is not useful either. FieldDefs should be
|
625 |
managed using the Fields Editor as with any other dataset. To access the fields
|
626 |
editor for a TIBTable component, double click on the component. The fields editor
|
627 |
is then displayed.
|
628 |
|
629 |
28. TIBDatabaseInfo: new properties/function
|
630 |
* DateDBCreated (returns date/time database created)
|
631 |
* TransactionCount (returns no. of active transactions)
|
632 |
* GetDatabasePage(PageNo: integer) (returns contents of specified database page - SYSDBA only).
|
633 |
* PagesFree (Firebird 3 or later)
|
634 |
* PagesUsed (Firebird 3 or later)
|
635 |
* Encrypted (returns true if database encrypted. (Firebird 3.0.3 or later only)
|
636 |
* EncryptionKeyName (returns the name of the encryption key if any (Firebird 3.0.3 or later only)
|
637 |
|
638 |
29. IBServices classes now provided the decoded release number in the (array) property ServerVersionNo.
|
639 |
|
640 |
30. TIBSecurityService now supports display/modification of the User Admin Role (Firebird 2.5 and later).
|
641 |
|
642 |
31. TIBConfigService now has a procedure SetAutoAdmin(Value: boolean) to enable/disable
|
643 |
the automtic mapping of privileged OS users to the RDB$ADMIN role (Firebird 2.5 and later).
|
644 |
|
645 |
32. TIBBackupService: New Option - NoDBTriggers equivalent to -nodbtriggers switch introduced
|
646 |
in the gbak utility at V.2.1 to prevent database-level and transaction-level triggers from
|
647 |
firing during backup and restore.
|
648 |
|
649 |
33. Both TIBBackupService and TIBRestoreService now support backup/restore statistics options
|
650 |
for verbose output using the new property "StatisticsRequested".
|
651 |
see https://firebirdsql.org/file/documentation/release_notes/html/en/2_5/rnfb25-util-gbak.html#rnfb25-util-gbakstats
|
652 |
|
653 |
34. TIBRestoreService: now supports new options RestoreMetaDataOnly (Firebird 2.5 and later).
|
654 |
|
655 |
35. TIBOnlineValidationService component added to the IBServices and the "Firebird Admin"
|
656 |
palette. This uses the online validation feature added in Firebird 2.5. The
|
657 |
services's properties enable inclusion/exclusion of tables and indexes using
|
658 |
regular expressions. See.
|
659 |
https://firebirdsql.org/file/documentation/release_notes/html/en/2_5/rnfb25-apiods-api.html#rnfb25-apiods-api-onlinevalidation
|
660 |
|
661 |
36. IBServices: procedure TIBConfigService.SetNoLinger added to set no linger
|
662 |
option on a database.
|
663 |
|
664 |
37. TIBCustomService: Assign method implemented to allow copying of service login
|
665 |
context between service API components. "Detach" method now only detaches
|
666 |
service when last reference to the service interface detaches. Tidy up of
|
667 |
code for SetActive and Attach methods including password hiding.
|
668 |
|
669 |
38. TIBDatabase: new properties: AuthenticationMethod and RemoteProtocol. Read only
|
670 |
and used to determine the auth method and protocol used for the connection.
|
671 |
|
672 |
39. TIBDatabase: ensure that SQLDialect setting is used when creating a database using
|
673 |
a Create Database Statement generated by IBX.
|
674 |
|
675 |
40. All IBServices now have an additional published property "PortNo". This may
|
676 |
be set to a non-standard port number when necessary. If zero then the default
|
677 |
port number is used.
|
678 |
|
679 |
41: TIBLookupComboeditBox: Ensure dataset updated when change selected with the keyboard
|
680 |
and not just the mouse.
|
681 |
|
682 |
42. TIBCustomDataset: reopen query if already active when a TIBControlLink is added.
|
683 |
|
684 |
43. TIBTreeview: new ImageIndexField and SelectedIndexField Property allows the
|
685 |
image index and selected image index for each node to be set from a database field.
|
686 |
|
687 |
44. TIBExtract: new extract type (etGrantsToUser) for use with eoDatabase. If included
|
688 |
then database schema includes grants to all users. If not present then the
|
689 |
only user grants included are those to User PUBLIC.
|
690 |
|
691 |
45. TIBTreeView: performance improvement. When expanding include both expanded node
|
692 |
and child nodes in dataset.
|
693 |
|
694 |
|
695 |
IBX Change Log version (2.1-0) Fri, 15 Dec 2017 12:20:11 +0000
|
696 |
|
697 |
1. IBCustomDataset: Minor change of PChar to PByte for compatibility with fbintf
|
698 |
changes.
|
699 |
|
700 |
2. IBCustomDataset: Fixed use of incorrect datasize in TIBStringField.SetAsString.
|
701 |
Bug could result in truncated multi-byte character set values.
|
702 |
|
703 |
3. Changes consequential on moving fbintf character set utility functions from
|
704 |
IFirebirdAPI to IAttachment.
|
705 |
|
706 |
4. Avoid "Object is nil" error when opening a database with DefaultSystemCodePage = true
|
707 |
|
708 |
5. IBLookupComboEditBox: avoid race condition when autocompleting text that occasionally
|
709 |
results in autocomplete ignoring prefix text.
|
710 |
|
711 |
6. IBLookupComboEditBox: Ensure that cursor is not reset to start of text when
|
712 |
entering a new name into the text box.
|
713 |
|
714 |
7. IBCustomDataset: ensure that TIBStringField uses the field size reported by
|
715 |
Firebird rather than recomputing it.
|
716 |
|
717 |
8. Property Editor positioning tidy up: All IBX Property editors should now be
|
718 |
screen centre. Previously some were "poDesigned" which may be inappropriate
|
719 |
for multi monitor desktops.
|
720 |
|
721 |
10. TIBTreeView.FindNode: protect against error if zero length path or empty tree node.
|
722 |
|
723 |
11. TIBTransaction: On Force Disconnect do not raise an exception when problem ending
|
724 |
a transaction and always reset the object.
|
725 |
|
726 |
12. TIBQuery tidyup: remove unnecessary call to GetAffectedRows.
|
727 |
|
728 |
13. TIBXScript: Allow for override of database filename in Create Database statements.
|
729 |
|
730 |
14. IBLocaldb: Support initialisation of the database from an SQL script in addition
|
731 |
to a gbak format archive.
|
732 |
|
733 |
15. IBLocaldb: fix problem that stopped the OnSharedDataDir event from being recognised.
|
734 |
|
735 |
16. IBLocaldb: Drop database if error creating an empty database.
|
736 |
|
737 |
17. TIBTreeView: improve performance when selecting node - avoid refreshing dataset
|
738 |
unless selected node not in current dataset.
|
739 |
|
740 |
18. IBServices: SetDBParams method moved from TCustomIBLocalDBSupport (in IBLocalDB package)
|
741 |
to TIBCustomService, and IBlocalDB code tidy up.
|
742 |
|
743 |
19. IBTreeView: Initialise TIBTreeNode KeyValue to null to avoid unpredictable
|
744 |
behaviour due to uninitialised variable.
|
745 |
|
746 |
20. IBServices: Correct encoding of isc_spb_prp_write_mode in TIBConfigService from
|
747 |
integer to byte. Ditto isc_spb_prp_reserve_space and isc_spb_prp_access_mode.
|
748 |
|
749 |
21. IBSQL: When Database changed ensure that all resources are freed.
|
750 |
|
751 |
22. IBCustomDataset: When database changed ensure that queries an unprepared.
|
752 |
|
753 |
23. SQL Property Editors now use SynEdit with SQL Highlighter. New features include:
|
754 |
* Line Wrap on SQL Token boundaries (on user command)
|
755 |
* auto-complete table names in drop down list of table names
|
756 |
* Double click on tablename or field name adds to SQL text
|
757 |
|
758 |
24. IBDataOutput: print statistics using float (%f) format instead of decimal (%d).
|
759 |
|
760 |
25. IBTreeView: Call to FindNode: param type change from "array of Variant" to
|
761 |
TVariantArray. Seems to avoid memory corruption in Windows (probably a
|
762 |
workaround for a problem in fpc 3.0.4 win64).
|
763 |
|
764 |
26. IBDatabaseInfo: Code tidy up. Add check for database not assigned or not open.
|
765 |
|
766 |
27. IBDatabaseInfo: Remove memory leak when accessing database operation counts.
|
767 |
|
768 |
IBX Change Log version (2.0-2) Fri, 24 Feb 2017 12:17:53 +0000
|
769 |
|
770 |
1. TIBDatabase.CreateDatabase: extract full DB Name from SQL using reg ex in order to
|
771 |
include remote system name.
|
772 |
|
773 |
2. TIBExtract: No longer include comment header and COMMIT statement for empty
|
774 |
tables when data included in output.
|
775 |
|
776 |
3. Profiling: IBSQL now has conditional compilation flags to enable query performance
|
777 |
and timing information to be written to stdout. This may be used to locate
|
778 |
performance bottlenecks.
|
779 |
|
780 |
4. SQLParser: only call "OnChanging" event handler when value is different.
|
781 |
|
782 |
5. IBDynamicGrid: Update handling of navigation keys for a TDateEdit
|
783 |
|
784 |
6. IBCustomDataset: Set internalunprepared flag when transaction ends. This ensures
|
785 |
that BindFields is called when the query is next activated. Avoids FieldName
|
786 |
not found error.
|
787 |
|
788 |
7. IBUpdate: This is a new IBX component similar to TIBUpdateSQL. It is more general
|
789 |
purpose and allows the programmer to define any action they want for Update, Insert
|
790 |
or Delete. This may be complex SQL (similar to a Trigger), application specific
|
791 |
filtering of updates, or use of statements such as Grant or Revoke instead of
|
792 |
normal DML. See User Manual for more information.
|
793 |
|
794 |
IBX Change Log version (2.0-1) Mon, 09 Jan 2017 15:31:49 +0000
|
795 |
|
796 |
1. TIBEvents: Fix uninitialised variable that could result in lost events.
|
797 |
|
798 |
2. TIBExtract: Added support for FB3 "USAGE" privilege.
|
799 |
|
800 |
3. TIBExtract: data formatted as Charset set "octets" is now output using
|
801 |
hexadecimal notation.
|
802 |
|
803 |
4. TIBExtract: Binary Blobs and array data can now be embedded in INSERT statements
|
804 |
using a simple XML format.
|
805 |
|
806 |
5. TIBExtract: extract of individual Triggers and Stored Procedures can now include
|
807 |
grants to these objects.
|
808 |
|
809 |
6. TIBExtract: Stored Procedures and Views output in dependency order to avoid
|
810 |
dependency problems restoring complex databases.
|
811 |
|
812 |
7. TIBXScript: This component has been restructured to allow for the processing of
|
813 |
embedded XML in INSERT statements and to support interactive sources in addition
|
814 |
to non-interactive data sources such as files.
|
815 |
|
816 |
8. TIBXScript: CREATE DATABASE, DROP DATABASE, CONNECT statements are now supported.
|
817 |
|
818 |
9. TIBXScript: ISQL compatiable Set statements are now supported:
|
819 |
SET SQL DIALECT
|
820 |
SET TERM
|
821 |
SET AUTODDL
|
822 |
SET BAIL
|
823 |
SET ECHO
|
824 |
SET COUNT
|
825 |
SET STATS
|
826 |
SET NAMES <character set>
|
827 |
|
828 |
10. IBVersion unit added to hold current IBX Version Number information.
|
829 |
|
830 |
11. TIBExtract: Use character rather than byte length for VarChar procedure arguments.,
|
831 |
and domain definitions.
|
832 |
|
833 |
12. TIBExtract: Triggers now use SQL2003 syntax and database and transaction triggers
|
834 |
fully supported.
|
835 |
|
836 |
13. TIBExtract: when a database dump includes data, the generator values are now also set.
|
837 |
|
838 |
14: IBSQLEdit: Unit LCLPlatformDef added to uses clauses for lazarus 1.7 and later.
|
839 |
|
840 |
IBX Change Log version (2.0-0) Tue, 06 Dec 2016 10:33:44 +0000
|
841 |
|
842 |
See also doc/IBX4LazarusGuide.pdf for important information on
|
843 |
upgrading to IBX2.
|
844 |
|
845 |
1. Size property of TIBStringField is now the width in characters of the field
|
846 |
and not the byte length. This applies only to multi-byte character sets such
|
847 |
as UTF8. The original approach aligned with TStringField. However, the TStringField
|
848 |
code is not recognised as a bug and hence this change to align the behaviour.
|
849 |
The TStringField change is expected in fpc 3.2.0.
|
850 |
|
851 |
2. A new property AutoFieldSize: boolean has been added to TIBStringField. When
|
852 |
true (default) then Size property value saved in the lfm is ignored. Size is
|
853 |
always set from the dynamic information read from the database. It is unclear
|
854 |
why anyone would want to override this and set Size to false.
|
855 |
|
856 |
3. ibxscript: should now handle correctly a Case..End statement within a procedure
|
857 |
block.
|
858 |
|
859 |
4. IBDatabase: new property - CreateIfNotExists. If true and database does not
|
860 |
exist when an attempt is made to connect to it (run time only) then an attempt
|
861 |
is made to create the database.
|
862 |
|
863 |
5. IBDatabase: new event - OnCreateDatabase. This event is called after a database
|
864 |
has been successfully created as a result of a call to CreateDatabase or when
|
865 |
creating a database after it was found not to exist.
|
866 |
|
867 |
6. DBControlGrid: a race condition could result in the wrong row image being
|
868 |
written to the cache. This has been avoided by a trip round the message
|
869 |
loop before rendering the row image.
|
870 |
|
871 |
7. DBControlGrid: It is strongly recommended not to open the source DataSet for
|
872 |
a DBControlGrid during a Form's "OnShow" event handler. Under GTK2 this is
|
873 |
known to risk corrupt rendering of row images when the control is first
|
874 |
displayed. If necessary use "Application.QueueAsyncCall" to delay opening
|
875 |
of the dataset (see DBControlGrid examples) until the Form's Window has been created.
|
876 |
|
877 |
8. DBControlGrid & IBDynamicGrid: Navigation keys should now work correctly with
|
878 |
a TDateEdit control located on an editor panel.
|
879 |
|
880 |
9. TIBExtract: brought up-to-date plus many bug fixes.
|
881 |
|
882 |
10. DBControlGrid: Removed memory leak when updating rows.
|
883 |
|
884 |
11. TIBCMLocalDBSupport: fixed invalid free on upgrade.
|
885 |
|
886 |
IBX Change Log version (1.4-3) Thu, 22 Sep 2016 18:10:15 +0100
|
887 |
|
888 |
1. IBCustomDataset: When calling SetCodePage, no longer request transliteration
|
889 |
when target codepage is CP_NONE. This is a workaround for
|
890 |
http://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=30622.
|
891 |
|
892 |
2. DBLog option removed from TIBStatisticalService - not supported by server
|
893 |
since Firebird 1.5.
|
894 |
|
895 |
3. ibxscript: An error is no longer generated for "on commit preserve rows" or
|
896 |
similar.
|
897 |
|
898 |
4. IBCodePage: updated mapping between codepages and character id.
|
899 |
|
900 |
5. ftWideString and ftWideMemo withdrawn. There is no UTF16 character set in
|
901 |
Firebird. Character sets with a char width of two are not UTF16.
|
902 |
|
903 |
6. Strings received from the database are now always transliterated into UTF8
|
904 |
regardless of the database character set or connection character set. This
|
905 |
is for compatibility with the LCL.
|
906 |
|
907 |
IBX Change Log version (1.4-2) Thu, 22 Sep 2016 15:25:27 +0100
|
908 |
|
909 |
1. IBBlob: Defer reading of blob until read method called. This avoids having to
|
910 |
read in an entire blob just to get the size of the blob. General performance
|
911 |
improvement when opening datasets containing blobs.
|
912 |
|
913 |
2. Clearing a Blob now sets the corresponding field's modified flag.
|
914 |
|
915 |
3. IBLookupCombo: When not performing auto-complete, original query sort order
|
916 |
is now used.
|
917 |
|
918 |
4. IBDynamicGrid: Add OnSelectEditor event. Allows editor panel to be dynamically
|
919 |
determined.
|
920 |
|
921 |
5. IBDynamicGrid: Recompute column widths after dataset closed and re-opened.
|
922 |
|
923 |
6. IBLookupCombo: LazUTF8 added to uses clause to avoid compilation problems post
|
924 |
lazarus 1.6.0
|
925 |
|
926 |
7. IBControls. Removed "runtime" from list of paths to avoid "multiple packages"
|
927 |
compilation error.
|
928 |
|
929 |
IBX Change Log version (1.4-1) Tue, 17 May 2016 09:14:51 +0100
|
930 |
|
931 |
1. No character set specified for connection: when a text blob is retrieved, the
|
932 |
character set is determined by looking up the native character set using then
|
933 |
Firebird API. Otherwise a text mode blob is assumed to have the same character
|
934 |
set as the connection.
|
935 |
|
936 |
2. TIBGUIInterface: this is an internal interface. Minor type changes to allow
|
937 |
for Login Dialog returing a change to the database path.
|
938 |
|
939 |
3. Design Time Database and Server login Dialogs now allow the Database Name/Server Name
|
940 |
to be changed from that given in the TIBDatabase/TIBServer component and for the
|
941 |
entered value to be saved on a project specific basis (design time only).
|
942 |
|
943 |
4. IBDynamicGrid: TDBLookupCellEditor now compares its DataFieldName with the
|
944 |
column fieldname. If they are the same then it is acts as a look up for the KeyValue
|
945 |
Otherwise, it sets the column text to the selected ListField Value.
|
946 |
|
947 |
5. IBDynamicGrid: Only visible columns are now taken into account When recalculating
|
948 |
column width.
|
949 |
|
950 |
6. IBLookupComboEditBox: Fix error with autocomplete query when a RelationName is given
|
951 |
and a case insensitive search is requested.
|
952 |
|
953 |
7. IBDynamicGrid: No longer ignores notifications removing Column Totals controls
|
954 |
or column ListSource.
|
955 |
|
956 |
8. IBQuery: no longer performs unnecessary refresh of SQL Text (and hence avoids an
|
957 |
unprepare) when closing and the text has not changed.
|
958 |
|
959 |
9. IBSQL: Base the cursor name on a GUID instead of a hexstr version of the class pointer.
|
960 |
Less likely to cause a cursor re-use error on Windows.
|
961 |
|
962 |
10.SV5IPC: include workaround for OSX. FPC 3.0.0 has broken ipc module for darwin.
|
963 |
Expected to be fixed in 3.0.2. Hence workaround only applies to 3.0.0.
|
964 |
|
965 |
11. TIBTreeView: Guard against nil destination on record changed
|
966 |
|
967 |
12. AnsiString Code page support: TIBStringField.AsString and TIBMemoField.AsString now return a
|
968 |
string type with the code page set to reflect the returned field encoding after
|
969 |
Firebird driver transliteration, if any. FPC 3.0.0 onwards only. Behaviour unchanged for
|
970 |
earlier versions.
|
971 |
|
972 |
13. AnsiString Code page support: Assigning to TIBStringField.AsString and TIBMemoField.AsString
|
973 |
will now result in transliteration to the code page specified for the Firebird driver
|
974 |
if the assigned string has a different code page. FPC 3.0.0 onwards only.
|
975 |
|
976 |
14. TIBDatabase: new property UseDefaultSystemCodePage. When set any lc_ctype parameter
|
977 |
is ignored and the lc_ctype value, when the database is opened, is set to align with
|
978 |
the DefaultSystemCodePage (FPC 3.0.0 onwards). Normally, this is what you want and should ensure
|
979 |
platform independence. Note: this applies to FPC 3.0.0 and earlier versions. Pre FPC
|
980 |
3.0.0, when this property is true, the lc_ctype is UTF8 except under windows when
|
981 |
the GETACP is used to determine the Windows code page.
|
982 |
|
983 |
15. TIBDatabase: new property DefaultCharSetName. This is the Firebird character set
|
984 |
name used as the lc_ctype when the database was opened. Only valid while the
|
985 |
Database is connected.
|
986 |
|
987 |
16. TIBDatabase: new property DefaultCodePage (FPC >=3.0.0 only). This is the codepage
|
988 |
id that corresponds to the DefaultCharSetName.
|
989 |
|
990 |
IBX Change Log version (1.4-0) Mon, 15 Feb 2016 14:44:24 +0000
|
991 |
|
992 |
1. Unix: If Firebird Embedded Server shared object is loaded and a local database
|
993 |
path is given and database attach fails due to access permission issues on the
|
994 |
temp directory or security database, then the attach is retried with "localhost:"
|
995 |
prefixing the databasename. This should avoid problems when the database has to
|
996 |
be accessed by a local (e.g. classic) server and libfbembed is used.
|
997 |
|
998 |
2. Windows: revised search order for Firebird DLL:
|
999 |
i. The Firebird Embedded Server in the application Directory.
|
1000 |
ii. If the FIREBIRD environment variable is set then the directory this
|
1001 |
points to is searched for the FB Client DLL and then then underlying
|
1002 |
"bin" directory.
|
1003 |
iii. Registry Key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Firebird Project\Firebird Server\Instances
|
1004 |
is used to locate the Firebird installation directory and the underlying
|
1005 |
"bin" directory is searched for the FB Client DLL.
|
1006 |
iv. The Default installation directories C:\Program Files\Firebird\Firebird_2_x
|
1007 |
are searched for the FB Client DLL.
|
1008 |
v. The PATH Environment variable is used to search for the FB Client DLL.
|
1009 |
vi. Finally the PATH Environment variable is used to search for IBASE.DLL.
|
1010 |
|
1011 |
3. New Component: TIBXScript. This is an ISQL compatible SQL script execution engine.
|
1012 |
See doc/readme.scriptengine and example applications.
|
1013 |
|
1014 |
4. New Component: TIBlocalDBSupport. This is a TIBDatabase support component intended to
|
1015 |
simplify the use of the embedded firebird server on both Linux and Windows platforms.
|
1016 |
See dpc/readme.localdatabase and example applications.
|
1017 |
|
1018 |
5. IBDynamicGrid: Reordering on column header click should now also work for
|
1019 |
dynamic columns.
|
1020 |
|
1021 |
6. ISQLMonitor: (Windows only). Mutex added to TMultilockGate to avoid race condition
|
1022 |
between incrementing/decrementing the lock count and signalling the event.
|
1023 |
|
1024 |
IBX Change Log version (1.3-2) Tue, 26 Jan 2016 14:39:54 +0000
|
1025 |
|
1026 |
1.3.2 was never formally released and only made available as beta copies.
|
1027 |
|
1028 |
1. DBControlGrid,IBDynamicGrid: Ignore down arrow and up arrow in TCustomMemo
|
1029 |
|
1030 |
2. IBDynamicGrid: Now deals correctly with a single column grid which has no indicator and autosize column
|
1031 |
|
1032 |
3. IBLookupComboEditBox: reset timer on each key press - avoids timer going off too early
|
1033 |
|
1034 |
4. IBDynamicGrid: Call event OnUpdateSortOrder even when aliasname not found in dataset
|
1035 |
i.e. when it is a calculated field
|
1036 |
|
1037 |
5. IBDynamicGrid: Fix problem selecting a different row when expanded row at end of grid.
|
1038 |
This problem was due to a race condition between recalculating row heights and
|
1039 |
determining which row was selected by the mouse click. The row height calculation
|
1040 |
is now deferred by an extra trip round the message loop allowing the row to
|
1041 |
be always calculated on the current grid layout rather than risking it being
|
1042 |
calculated on the grid layout after the expanded row has been shrunk.
|
1043 |
|
1044 |
6. IBLookupComboEditBox: avoid race condition between cm_killfocus and cm_exit on
|
1045 |
Windows.
|
1046 |
|
1047 |
7. TIBStringField: Now has two new public properties: CharacterSetName: string and CharacterSetSize: integer;
|
1048 |
These properties allow the (Firebird) character set name for the field and the max number of bytes per character
|
1049 |
to be determined at runtime. See doc/readme.charactersets.html.
|
1050 |
|
1051 |
8. TIBWideStringField: This is a new field type with the same additional public properties as above and subclassed from
|
1052 |
TWideStringField. This field type is used with the character size reported by Firebird is two. See doc/readme.charactersets.html.
|
1053 |
|
1054 |
9. TIBMemoField and TIBWideMemoField: new field types with the same additional public properties as above and subclassed from
|
1055 |
TMemoField and TWideMemoField respectively. These field types are used with Blob subtype 1 and a characterset size of
|
1056 |
1, 3 or 4 (TIBMemoField) or 2 (TIBWideMemoField). See doc/readme.charactersets.html.
|
1057 |
|
1058 |
Both also have a new published property "DisplayTextAsClassName". If false (default) the displaytext is generated
|
1059 |
from the blob text by truncating the string to the displaywidth (in characters not bytes). A displaywidth of zero
|
1060 |
implies no truncation.
|
1061 |
|
1062 |
10. IBLookupComboEditBox: Force autocomplete when EditingDone called and timer active.
|
1063 |
|
1064 |
11. IBDynamicGrid: Call DataSet.Append when entering edit mode and dataset empty and not in insert state
|
1065 |
(avoids "Not in Edit Mode" error).
|
1066 |
|
1067 |
12. IBDynamicGrid: Correctly resize grid when one column width plus indicator.
|
1068 |
|
1069 |
13. IBDynamicGrid: Ensure Editor Panel has focus when shown - avoids Windows API calling
|
1070 |
DBGrid.DoExit on subsequent mouse click (e.g. on child control such as a tabbed page control.
|
1071 |
|
1072 |
14. IBDynamicGrid: ignore up, down tab and return when editorpanel open and focus in a TCustomGrid descendent.
|
1073 |
|
1074 |
15. DBControlGrid: Stop flashing grid when dataset closed and then re-opened while DisabledControls
|
1075 |
|
1076 |
16. IBQuery: Bug fixed that prevented SQL being set programmatically once the Parser had been invoked.
|
1077 |

17. IBCustomDataSet: On close, parser is now freed and Select SQL reverts to value before DataSet Opened.
|
1079 |
|
1080 |
IBX Change Log version (1.3-1) Sat, 18 Jul 2015 13:30:50 +0100
|
1081 |
|
1082 |
1. OnCloseUp Event Handler added to TDBLookupProperties
|
1083 |
|
1084 |
2. IBDynamicGrid: Call to OnEditorPanelHide is now last editor hide action - avoids
|
1085 |
problem with row size when exception is called.
|
1086 |
|
1087 |
3. IBLookupComboEditBox: Force pending autocomplete on combobox exit.
|
1088 |
|
1089 |
4. IBDynamicGrid and DBControlGrid: Keyhandler now ignores up, down, escape and return keys if
|
1090 |
in a TCustomComboBox and ignores return key if in a TCustomMemo
|
1091 |
|
1092 |
5. IBLookupComboEditBox: Ensure that KeyValue is set correctly when full text
|
1093 |
keyed in i.e. when autocomplete not performed
|
1094 |
|
1095 |
6. Cleanup of "Uses" clauses and add console mode support. IBX should now support
|
1096 |
console mode applications with all LCL required functions (builtin dialogs and
|
1097 |
cursor management) centralised in the IBDialogs unit. As long as "IBDialogs" is
|
1098 |
not included in your project, IBX should compile and link with a console mode program.
|
1099 |
See consolemode example and its "readme"for further guidence. DO NOT add the ibexpress package to a
|
1100 |
console mode application or the IDE will automatically assume that your
|
1101 |
application is GUI based. Instead, you should include the ibexpressconsolemode package.
|
1102 |
|
1103 |
IMPORTANT NOTE: IBDialogs must be included in GUI applications in order
|
1104 |
to use the built in dialogs and cursor management. IBDialogs is
|
1105 |
included by default if "ibexpress" is in your project source's "uses" clause.
|
1106 |
This should be the case for all projects created through the IDE. This is why
|
1107 |
you do not want to add the ibexpress package to console mode applications. The
|
1108 |
ibexpressconsolemode package has been created to allow console mode programs
|
1109 |
to avoid adding LCL dependencies when using IBX, while still having the
|
1110 |
unit search paths set up correctly.
|
1111 |
|
1112 |
Existing users should check to ensure that the "ibexpress" unit is included in
|
1113 |
each project's source file (*.lpr).
|
1114 |
|
1115 |
You may find that in order for the IDE to recognise that ibexpressconsolemode
|
1116 |
exists, you have to first open the package in the IDE and then close it. This
|
1117 |
adds it to the most recently accessed packages list. To make it permanently
|
1118 |
available, add the package name to lazarus' staticpackages.inc file.
|
1119 |
|
1120 |
Thanks to Julio Jiménez for suggesting support of console mode.
|
1121 |
|
1122 |
7. SQL Parser can now accept quoted strings that include new lines
|
1123 |
|
1124 |
8. IBDynamicGrid: Lookup Cell Editor - the cursor is now positioned at end
|
1125 |
of text on start of edit. This is particularly useful when tabbing to a
|
1126 |
column and then inserting text.
|
1127 |
|
1128 |
9. New Examples provided for IB Services and ISQLMonitor.
|
1129 |
|
1130 |
10. Fix error when writing to blob streams that recorded only the last buffer
|
1131 |
write in the blob stream. In most cases, this did not cause a problem as the
|
1132 |
IB Blob Stream is written in a single write. However, with the TDBImage, write
|
1133 |
of a graphic type prefix was lost which caused a problem when the image could
|
1134 |
not be automatically recognised.
|
1135 |
|
1136 |
11. Improve generation of random cursor names in TIBSQL - avoid risk of "cursor
|
1137 |
already open" errors due to random numbers used for the cursor name being identical.
|
1138 |
|
1139 |
12. IBTable: corrected error that could result in an "Index out of bounds" error
|
1140 |
when opening the table and the Primary Key is the last or only column in the
|
1141 |
table. Thanks to Rick Hoover for the fix.
|
1142 |
|
1143 |
13. Fix TIBDatabase initialisation of lc_ctype under unix. Set to "UTF8" instead
|
1144 |
of "UTF-8", and update list of available database character sets. Existing
|
1145 |
users should check the current lc_ctype setting in their applications.
|
1146 |
|
1147 |
IBX Change Log version (1.2-4) Sat, 09 May 2015 12:38:29 +0100
|
1148 |
|
1149 |
1. Firebird Services: avoid List Index error when opening a service with an
|
1150 |
empty Params property.
|
1151 |
|
1152 |
2. IBControls: Fix problem with new link mechanism introduced in 1.2.3.
|
1153 |
Link now set up in Loaded method - avoids occasional failure to apply
|
1154 |
SQL markup on initial open.
|
1155 |
|
1156 |
3. "Employees" example performance improvements when scrolling.
|
1157 |
|
1158 |
4. DBControlGrid: Correctly handle edit panel removal when panel is child control of a
|
1159 |
TFrame. Force recaching of selected frame to avoid GTK race (results in a
|
1160 |
random image cached).
|
1161 |
|
1162 |
5. DBControlGrid: Should now react to changes in panel height at run time.
|
1163 |
|
1164 |
6. IBDynamicGrid: Redraws rows below on panel editor hide - avoids blank space at end of grid
|
1165 |
even when further rows exist.
|
1166 |
|
1167 |
7. DBControlGrid: DefaultRowHeight is no longer a published property as it should
|
1168 |
always be derived from panel height and setting this property can cause confusion.
|
1169 |
Note for existing projects: to avoid a missing property error at run time,
|
1170 |
each form using the DBControlGrid must be opened, updated and saved in the IDE
|
1171 |
in order to remove the property value from the lfm.
|
1172 |
|
1173 |
|
1174 |
IBX Change Log version (1.2-3) Tue, 14 Apr 2015 14:11:17 +0100
|
1175 |
|
1176 |
1. TIBStoredProc. Prepare now called by ParamByName to avoid need to always
|
1177 |
call Prepare before setting parameter values.
|
1178 |
|
1179 |
2. Error message on ParamByName (all cases) not found now includes name of missing parameter.
|
1180 |
|
1181 |
3. Code tidyup and more robust handling of dsql information result vector.
|
1182 |
|
1183 |
4. Support for centralised handling of transaction status changes. TIBTransaction
|
1184 |
has been given additional events "AfterEdit", "AfterInsert", "AfterDelete", "AfterPost"
|
1185 |
and "AfterExecQuery". The first three are called after the same event is called
|
1186 |
for an IBCustomDataSet descendent using the Transaction. The fourth is called
|
1187 |
after a call to TIBSQL.ExecQuery, again using this transaction. These new events
|
1188 |
enable monitoring of transaction status changes for a given transaction to be
|
1189 |
handled in a single place. For example, when a change to the dataset occurs
|
1190 |
an indicator can be set that shows the user that in order to save changes,
|
1191 |
the transaction should be committed. Rather than doing this per dataset, this
|
1192 |
can now be done per transaction.
|
1193 |
|
1194 |
5. TDataSet.CheckBrowseMode automatically posts changes to the current row when
|
1195 |
the dataset is scrolled. However, any changes to the current row are, by default,
|
1196 |
discarded when the dataset is closed. TIBDataSet, TIBQuery and TIBTable now
|
1197 |
have a new property "DataSetCloseAction" that adds automatic posting of changes
|
1198 |
on dataset close. If this property is set to dcDiscardChanges (default) then the
|
1199 |
behaviour is unchanged from previous versions. if the value is set to dcSaveChanges
|
1200 |
then IBX will attempt to post any unsaved changes before the dataset is closed
|
1201 |
(and after the BeforeClose event handler is called). The exception is when the
|
1202 |
dataset is being closed as a result of a transaction rollback. In this case,
|
1203 |
no action is taken and any unsaved changes are discarded. This avoids both
|
1204 |
unnecessary overhead and the risk that a validation error may occur in the Post
|
1205 |
raising an exception and thereby preventing a rollback.
|
1206 |
|
1207 |
6. String Field sizes and Display Widths should now be correct for multi-byte character sets.
|
1208 |
In earlier versions, the Display Width was set to the maximum byte width rather than the character
|
1209 |
width. Display Widths are now corrected by dividing by the max byte width per character.
|
1210 |
For UTF8 character sets, the byte width is four and hence the Display Width will be
|
1211 |
the byte width divided by 4. The byte width of each character set is determined
|
1212 |
dynamically when the database connection is estabished from the RDB$CHARACTER_SETS
|
1213 |
system table. (see also http://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=27766).
|
1214 |
|
1215 |
7. SQLParser will now correctly parse SQL Text which contains ':' within quoted string.
|
1216 |
|
1217 |
8. IBLookupComboEditBox: List should now always be restored to full list when the
|
1218 |
control loses focus. Default Key press default interval reduced to 200ms.
|
1219 |
|
1220 |
9. DBControlGrid: Ensure that selection is changed to newly appended row, even
|
1221 |
when dataset rows are less than visible rows.
|
1222 |
|
1223 |
10. IBDynamicGrid: Editor Panel is not shown on indicator click if Datasource
|
1224 |
does not exist or DataSet is empty. More responsive on dataset open. New event
|
1225 |
OnRestorePosition. Column sort disabled if no header row.
|
1226 |
|
1227 |
11. IBTreeView: improved handling of response to "Add Node". Avoid scrolling dataset
|
1228 |
while dataset state is dsInsert. Avoids posting errors.
|
1229 |
|
1230 |
12. IBControls: New mechanism for distributing UpdateSQL and UpdateParams events. This is to
|
1231 |
avoid conflict with DisableControls/EnableControls with Master/Detail linked tables.
|
1232 |
|
1233 |
13. IBLookupComboEditBox: Now avoids SQL Errors when combo box text contains single quotes.
|
1234 |
|
1235 |
14. TIBDataSet and TIBQuery: new Event - OnValidatePost. This event has been introduced
|
1236 |
to solve a specific problem. That is when the dataset cursor is moved (e.g. by
|
1237 |
a grid mouse click and the current row is being edited or inserted. In this case, TDataset
|
1238 |
always "posts" the current record regardless or whether or not it may be more appropriate
|
1239 |
to cancel any changes; the post occurs before the "BeforeScroll" event fires due to the way the
|
1240 |
"MoveBy" function is implemented by TDataSet. The OnValidatePost event is called
|
1241 |
as the first action of the "Post" method and allows the handler to convert the Post
|
1242 |
into a Cancel if that is the appropriate action on moving to a different row. This is
|
1243 |
achieved by returning with "CancelPost" argument set to true. Note that an exception could be
|
1244 |
raised here, but it may still be more appropriate to validate a post and signal
|
1245 |
a problem in the "BeforePost" event handler. See readme.automaticposts.xhtml)
|
1246 |
|
1247 |
15. On Unix derived systems, the Firebird library name can now be given as a colon
|
1248 |
separated list. Each library name on the list is tried in turn, in left to right
|
1249 |
order with the first found being used as the firebird library. By default, on Linux,
|
1250 |
the library name list is 'libfbembed.so.2.5:libfbembed.so.2.1:libfbclient.so.2'. This can be
|
1251 |
overidden by the FBLIB environment variable or the OnGetLibraryName function.
|
1252 |
|
1253 |
Note: when using the libfbembed.so, if you prefix the database name with "localhost:"
|
1254 |
then it will still attempt to access the database via the Firebird Server and will
|
1255 |
require a username and password. If only the pathname is given, then the username
|
1256 |
and password should be omitted and the unix file permissions are used to grant
|
1257 |
access.
|
1258 |
|
1259 |
IBX Change Log version (1.2-2) Sat, 14 Mar 2015 11:35:04 +0000
|
1260 |
|
1261 |
1. A new IBControl - TDBControlGrid has been added. TDBControlGrid a lookalike
|
1262 |
rather than a clone for the Delphi TDBCrtlGrid. TDBControlGrid is a single column grid
|
1263 |
that replicates a TWinControl - typically a TPanel or a TFrame in each row. Each row
|
1264 |
corresponds to a row of the linked DataSource. Any data aware control on the
|
1265 |
replicated (e.g.) TPanel will then appear to have the appropriate value for the row.
|
1266 |
|
1267 |
2. As suggested by Julio Jiménez, a new property "SQLHourGlass" has been added to TIBDatabase.
|
1268 |
When set to false (default true), the Hour Glass cursor is supcpressed and no cursor change
|
1269 |
takes place during database access. This may be useful when there are performance issues with
|
1270 |
the change of cursor. Setting the property to false suppresses the change of cursor.
|
1271 |
|
1272 |
3. As suggested by Julio Jiménez, a new property "AutoCommit" has been added to TIBDataSet, TIBQuery
|
1273 |
and TIBTable. When set to acCommitRetaining (Default: acDisabled), a call is made to
|
1274 |
Transaction.CommitRetaining immediately after every Post or Delete. This has the effect of
|
1275 |
making all changes permanent immediately rather than when the transaction is explicitly
|
1276 |
committed.
|
1277 |
|
1278 |
4. Experimental support for the Firebird 3 SQL_BOOLEAN type has been added while still
|
1279 |
using the legacy Firebird API. Thanks to Gabor Boros for helping to test this feature.
|
1280 |
|
1281 |
IBX Change Log version (1.2-1) Fri, 13 Mar 2015 11:14:15 +0000
|
1282 |
|
1283 |
Development version only.
|
1284 |
|
1285 |
IBX Change Log version (1.2-0) Thu, 26 Feb 2015 10:34:04 +0000
|
1286 |
|
1287 |
1. An internal select SQL Parser is now available for TIBCustomDataset descendents.
|
1288 |
This is typically used during an "OnBeforeOpen" event handler to manipulate the
|
1289 |
"Where" and "Having" clauses to implement user specified filters of arbitrary
|
1290 |
complexity.
|
1291 |
|
1292 |
2. A new Component Palette entry "Firebird Data Controls" is now available. This has
|
1293 |
three new data aware controls dependent on IBX and which make use of the SQL Parser.
|
1294 |
These are:
|
1295 |
|
1296 |
- TIBLookupComboEditBox
|
1297 |
- TIBDynamicGrid
|
1298 |
- TIBTreeview
|
1299 |
|
1300 |
TIBLookupComboEditBox is a TDBLookupComboBox descendent that implements "autocomplete"
|
1301 |
of typed in text and "autoinsert" of new entries. Autocomplete uses SQL manipulation
|
1302 |
to revise the available list and restrict it to items that are prefixed by the
|
1303 |
typed text (either case sensitive or case insensitive). Autoinsert allows a
|
1304 |
newly typed entry to be added to the list dataset and included in the available
|
1305 |
list items.
|
1306 |
|
1307 |
TIBDynamicGrid is a TDBGrid descendent that provides for:
|
1308 |
- automatic resizing of selected columns to fill the available row length
|
1309 |
- automatic positioning and sizing of a "totals" control, typically at the
|
1310 |
column footer, on a per column basis.
|
1311 |
- DataSet resorting on header row click, sorting the dataset by the selected column.
|
1312 |
A second click on the same header cell reversed the sort order.
|
1313 |
- Support for a "Panel Editor". That is on clicking the indicator column, the row
|
1314 |
is automatically expanded and a panel superimposed on it. The panel can have any
|
1315 |
number of child controls, typically data aware controls with the same datasource
|
1316 |
as the grid allowing for editing of additional fields and more complex editors.
|
1317 |
- Reselection of the same row following resorting.
|
1318 |
- A new cell editor that provides the same functionality as TIBLookupComboEditBox.
|
1319 |
Its properties are specified on a per column basis and allows for one or more
|
1320 |
columns to have their values selected from a list provided by a dataset.
|
1321 |
Autocomplete and autoinsert are also available. The existing picklist editor
|
1322 |
is unaffected by the extension.
|
1323 |
|
1324 |
TIBTreeView is a data aware TCustomTreeView.
|
1325 |
|
1326 |
3. When getting a field value using FieldByName.AsVariant, an SQL_INT64 with a
|
1327 |
zero scale will no longer return an error. An Int64 will be returned instead.
|
1328 |
|
1329 |
4. TIBTransaction now has events for Before and After Transaction End and a new function
|
1330 |
"GetEndAction" allowing the EndAction to be accessed by these event handlers.
|
1331 |
|
1332 |
5. TIBQuery can now handle correctly queries which contain the same keyword parameter
|
1333 |
repeated multiple times.
|
1334 |
|
1335 |
6. TIBUpdateSQL will no longer return an error when "RowsAffected" is <> 1. This error
|
1336 |
check used to get in the way of using Stored Procedures, and "Update or Insert"
|
1337 |
statements.
|
1338 |
|
1339 |
7. Insert, Modify and Delete property Editors now support Query Generation from
|
1340 |
Stored Procedures.
|
1341 |
|
1342 |
8. Three new examples illustrate the use of the new IB Controls
|
1343 |
|
1344 |
|
1345 |
IBX Change Log version (1.1-0) Mon, 07 Jul 2014 14:01:07 +0100
|
1346 |
|
1347 |
1. TIBXSQLVAR code clean up and optimisation to improve client side "prepare" and parameter
|
1348 |
setting performance. See "readme.field+param.names in the doc folder.(Thanks to
|
1349 |
Gabor Boros for reporting this problem and for testing the improvements).
|
1350 |
|
1351 |
2. IBX can now support dialect 3 quoted column names that contain spaces and which differ only in their case.
|
1352 |
See readme.field+param.names in the doc folder.
|
1353 |
|
1354 |
3. IBX SQL Editors will now automatically add double quotes around column names when the database
|
1355 |
dialect is "3" and the column name contains spaces or is a Firebird 2.5 SQL Reserved Word.
|
1356 |
|
1357 |
4. Param Type LargeInt now supported in TIBQuery and TIBStoredProc
|
1358 |
|
1359 |
5. TIBSQL.ExecQuery retry on failure removed to avoid problems with "at most once"
|
1360 |
actions.
|
1361 |
|
1362 |
6. TIBTransaction.SetDefaultDatabase uses SetObjectProp instead of mis-using SetOrdProp (with
|
1363 |
thanks to Yuriy Kopnin for pointing this out).
|
1364 |
|
1365 |
7. GenerateParamName is now a published property of TIBSQL, TIBQuery and TIBDataSet.
|
1366 |
|
1367 |
8. varWord, varShortInt and varInt64 added to TIBXSQLVAR.SetAsVariant and hence now available as variant types
|
1368 |
for both fields and parameter setting.
|
1369 |
|
1370 |
9. Changes to the Select SQL in an IBCustomDataset descendent should now be
|
1371 |
visible in the Fields Editor immediately afterwards - rather than only after cycling the "active" property.
|
1372 |
|
1373 |
10. TIBSQL SQL editor will operate correctly and not report an SQL syntax error on SQL test,
|
1374 |
when DSQL ('?') parameter placeholders are used and the TIBSQL.GenerateParamNames property is set to true.
|
1375 |
|
1376 |
11. TIBTable now has a property editor for "MasterFields"
|
1377 |
|
1378 |
12. SQL Property Editors now include a checkbox "Allow DSQL Placeholder". This corresponds to the
|
1379 |
GenerateParamNames property and should be set when using DSQL (i.e. '?') style parameters.
|
1380 |
|
1381 |
13. The IBTransaction editor now has a radio button ("Unspecified") which is set when the combination
|
1382 |
of settings is unrecognised. Selecting this radio button has no effect on the settings.
|
1383 |
|
1384 |
|

1387 |
1. TBookmark change conditional compile changed to >= 2.7.0 to match revised availability of change.

1389 |
IBX Change Log version (1.0-4) Thu, 28 Feb 2013 16:56:13 +0000
|
1390 |
|
1391 |
1. In a TIBCustomDataset descendent, a generator now only sets the value when
|
1392 |
it is null. This allows for alternative user defined setting of the generator
|
1393 |
|
1394 |
Many thanks to Julio Jiménez for this fix
|
1395 |
|
1396 |
2. An Error Dialog is now displayed in the Lazarus IDE if IBX cannot find the Firebird Library
|
1397 |
and suggests that the user may have forgotten to install it.
|
1398 |
|
1399 |
IBX Change Log version (1.0-3) Thu, 22 Nov 2012 22:53:39 +0000
|
1400 |
|
1401 |
1. Conditional compilation used to limit registration of TIntegerField to
|
1402 |
Lazarus versions less than 1.1
|
1403 |
|
1404 |
2. When a database connection is created, character set is now by default set
|
1405 |
to UTF8 (Unix) or to the current Windows code page (Windows) if in the range
|
1406 |
1250 to 1254.
|
1407 |
|
1408 |

|
1418 |
|
1419 |
2. IBX now registers TIntegerField as a "No Icon" component. This may be removed if the fpc DB
