|
3 |
> |
IMPORTANT: the source code tree has been re-organised for IBX 2.3. Please remove |
4 |
> |
all previous copies of the IBX source code tree before installing this release. |
5 |
> |
|
6 |
> |
The IBX packages used by most users have not changed, with one exception. The |
7 |
> |
IBServices unit has been moved to the package iblegacyServices.lpk. To continue |
8 |
> |
to use the IBServices unit in your applications, please add the iblegacyServices |
9 |
> |
to the list of dependencies. To do this, open the Project Inspector and select |
10 |
> |
Add->New Requirement and select "ibLegacyServices" from the list of available |
11 |
> |
packages. |
12 |
> |
|
13 |
> |
1. New unit IBXServices. The IBXServices unit is a re-architectured update of |
14 |
> |
the IBServices unit providing what is intended to be a clearer and easier to |
15 |
> |
use set of IB Services components. See Chapter 10 of the IBX User Guide for |
16 |
> |
more information and the guide to "Firebird Service Management Using IBX". |
17 |
> |
As indicated above, the legacy services components are still available and |
18 |
> |
provided in a separate package. There is no need to update working applications |
19 |
> |
using the older versions except for an additional package dependency. |
20 |
> |
|
21 |
> |
2. The IBX packages and source code tree have been re-organised in an attempt to |
22 |
> |
finally get rid of the "duplicate ppu" warnings. This re-organisation should |
23 |
> |
not affect existing users. Section 2.3 of the IBX User Guide describes the |
24 |
> |
new set of IBX packages. |
25 |
> |
|
26 |
> |
3. The ibx/examples/DBAdmin and the ibx/examples/services example have been |
27 |
> |
updated to use the new Services API components. |
28 |
> |
|
29 |
> |
4. The iblocal package has been updated to use the new Services API components. |
30 |
> |
|
31 |
> |
5. procedure SetAutoAdmin; in the new IBX Services this method is now a member of |
32 |
> |
TIBXSecurityService. It had been wrongly classified in the previous version |
33 |
> |
as a per database configuration item. It is global to a server and hence |
34 |
> |
correctly positioned as part of the Security Package. In the DBAdmin example, |
35 |
> |
the setting has moved to the mappings page. |
36 |
> |
|
37 |
> |
6. TIBXScript: IgnoreCreateDatabase added. If true then CREATE DATABASE statements |
38 |
> |
are ignored. |
39 |
> |
|
40 |
> |
7. TIBDatabase: DropDatabase now ensures that all transactions have been properly |
41 |
> |
closed before the database is dropped. Before and After Disconnect event handlers |
42 |
> |
are also fired. |
43 |
> |
|
44 |
> |
8. TIBTransaction: OnStartTransaction event now fires every time the transaction |
45 |
> |
is started and not just the first time. |
46 |
> |
|
47 |
> |
9. IBDataOutput: Use FormatFloat for all performance statistics to avoid platform |
48 |
> |
depenendency with comp type. |
49 |
> |
|
50 |
> |
10. IBDataOutput: select query data output is now sent to stdout instead of stderr. |
51 |
> |
|
52 |
> |
11. TIBDatabase: Remove regression. If a user login dialog changes the DatabaseName |
53 |
> |
then this is recognised and not ignored. |
54 |
> |
|
55 |
> |
12. TIBDataSet, TIBQuery, TIBTable: additions: |
56 |
> |
function GetRowsAffected(var SelectCount, InsertCount, UpdateCount, DeleteCount: integer): boolean; |
57 |
> |
function GetPerfStatistics(var stats: TPerfCounters): boolean; |
58 |
> |
property EnableStatistics: boolean read FEnableStatistics write SetEnableStatistics; |
59 |
> |
|
60 |
> |
GetRowsAffected returns the affected row counts from the last insert/update/delete |
61 |
> |
if EnableStatistics = true then GetPerfStatistics returns the current stats |
62 |
> |
counters for the select query. Note: stats accumulate after each fetch from |
63 |
> |
the database. To get total query cost after open, call the "Last" method |
64 |
> |
and then GetPerfStatistics. |
65 |
> |
|
66 |
> |
See ibx/examples/consolemode for an example of the use of GetPerfStatistics |
67 |
> |
|
68 |
> |
13. TIBExtract: Identity columns DDL. "Start with clause" now correctly encapsulated |
69 |
> |
in parenthesises. |
70 |
> |
|
71 |
> |
14. TIBExtract: new published property "AlwaysQuoteIdentifiers". If true then in dialect 3 |
72 |
> |
SQL identifiers are always delimited by double quotes. If false, then they are |
73 |
> |
only delimited if the identifier is a reserved word, contains lower case or special |
74 |
> |
characters. Set this property to true to retain previous behaviour. |
75 |
> |
|
76 |
> |
15. Insert SQL Property Editor. In Insert Returning Clause, Identity column names |
77 |
> |
are now inserted in double quotes if not Reserved Words or valid SQL Identifiers. |
78 |
> |
|
79 |
> |
16. TIBDataSet, TIBQuery, TIBTable: addition: |
80 |
> |
property MasterDetailDelay: integer {defaults to zero} |
81 |
> |
|
82 |
> |
When non-zero and the dataset is a detail table referencing a master table |
83 |
> |
through either a MasterSource (TIBTable) or a DataSource (TIBDataSet, TIBQuery) |
84 |
> |
then a synchronisation delay is added (in milliseconds) between the master |
85 |
> |
row changing and the detail dataset being re-opened. If the master dataset |
86 |
> |
is scrolled before the delay expires then the delay is reset. This can be used |
87 |
> |
to avoid performance overheads when scrolling through a large master dataset. |
88 |
> |
|
89 |
> |
Note: uses fptimer and hence requires a thread manager. Under Linux the |
90 |
> |
chreads unit must be included in your project. TTimer is not used in order |
91 |
> |
to avoid an LCL dependency. Requires FPC 3.0.2 or later. |
92 |
> |
|
93 |
> |
17. TIBExtract: User role grants now excluded when etGrantsToUser not specified |
94 |
> |
with Extract Option eoDatabase. |
95 |
> |
|
96 |
> |
18. TIBLookupComboEditBox: Workaround added for https://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=33428 |
97 |
> |
When a deLayoutChanged event is reported on the ListSource dataset, the |
98 |
> |
combobox text is updated. This allows a listsource (detail) to be in a Master/Detail |
99 |
> |
relationship with the control's datasource (master). |
100 |
> |
|
101 |
> |
19. TIBExtract: Full BigInt value range now supported for Generators/Sequences. |
102 |
> |
|
103 |
> |
20. TIBExtract: Select Procedures (Procedure type 1) now include "SUSPEND;" clause in their |
104 |
> |
stubs. Pedantic fix really, as procedures output in dependency order anyway. |
105 |
> |
|
106 |
> |
21. TIBExtract: Package Headers and Package Bodies are now included in the extracted |
107 |
> |
DDL (Firebird 3 and later only). |
108 |
> |
|
109 |
> |
22. TIBLookupComboBox Autocomplete Fixes: |
110 |
> |
i. Only appended text is now selected after autocomplete. |
111 |
> |
ii. Uppercase keys no longer ignored for autocomplete. |
112 |
> |
iii. Retain Prefix case is now honoured correctly. |
113 |
> |
iv. When a DataSource is assigned, typing after autocomplete now extends prefix |
114 |
> |
before autocomplete performed. i.e. behaviour now the same as when |
115 |
> |
no DataSource assigned. |
116 |
> |
|
117 |
> |
23. TIBXScript: Single Line Comments starting with '--' are now ignored when occurring |
118 |
> |
between SQL statements. |
119 |
> |
|
120 |
> |
24. TIBExtract: New published property CaseSensitiveObjectNames. If false (default) then |
121 |
> |
ObjectNames are converted to upper case before matching against metadata object |
122 |
> |
names, unless the objectname is delimited by double quotes, in which case, the |
123 |
> |
double quotes are removed and the remaining string is used (unmodified) to match |
124 |
> |
against the metadata object name. |
125 |
> |
|
126 |
> |
If true then the ObjectName is used as is without modification and matched |
127 |
> |
against the metadata object name. No attempt is made to remove double quotes. |
128 |
> |
|
129 |
> |
25. TIBExtract: New Extract Types: etDatabaseTriggers and etDDLTriggers. When used |
130 |
> |
with eoTrigger, these extract types can be used to select only Database Triggers, |
131 |
> |
or DDL Triggers or both. Ignored when etTable or etTrigger included in Extract Types. |

|
1. IBExtract: Identity columns - add additional check for null column for generator name. |
142 |
|
|
230 |
|
21. Property Editors now automatically include System Tables when opened and when the query table |
231 |
|
is a System Table. |
232 |
|
|
233 |
< |
22. IBServices: SQRB and SRB buffers are now reset when service query throws and exception. |

22. IBServices: SQRB and SRB buffers are now reset when service query throws an exception. |
234 |
|
This avoids errors due to a stale SQRB or SRB being used for the next query. |
235 |
|
|
236 |
|
23. IBServices: Service attach parameters now include "expected_db". This is used to |
245 |
|
|
246 |
|
26. TIBDatabase: DatabaseName property may now be prefixed by $TEMP$ or $DATADIR$ for local |
247 |
|
databasenames. These are respectively expanded to the local system's temp directory |
248 |
< |
(including trailing delimiter) or to a directory a prescribed data directory (including |
248 |
> |
(including trailing delimiter) or to a prescribed data directory (including |
249 |
|
trailing delimiter). Under Unix systems the data directory is a hidden directory |
250 |
|
in the user's home directory. The hidden directory name is either the string returned |
251 |
|
from the SysUtils "Vendor Name" or "IBX" if empty. In either case prefixed by a '.'. |
252 |
|
Under Windows, the directory is the same as the Data Directory as decribed |
253 |
|
above but instead prefixed by the User's application data path. These may be |
254 |
< |
used to improve application portability. |
254 |
> |
used to improve application portability for Personal Databases. |
255 |
|
|
256 |
|
27. TIBTable: FieldDefs property is no longer published. Due to the use of TIBFieldDef |
257 |
|
this has not worked for a long time and is not useful either. FieldDefs should be |
299 |
|
service when last reference to the service interface detaches. Tidy up of |
300 |
|
code for SetActive and Attach methods including password hiding. |
301 |
