IBX Change Log version (2.2-0) Mon, 26 Feb 2018 11:49:23 +0000 |

> |
1. IBExtract: Identity columns - add additional check for null column for generator name. |
4 |
> |
|
5 |
> |
2. IBCustomDataSet: Insert and Modify (Update) queries now recognise and process SQL RETURNING clauses. |
6 |
> |
The main use for this is for Firebird 3 Identity columns (see IBXDocumentation 6.6.8 for further |
7 |
> |
information). However, this is also a very useful mechanism for returning updated computed by |
8 |
> |
column values. Values returned as a result of executing an Insert or Update statement |
9 |
> |
replace existing values in the current row for each corresponding column. |
10 |
> |
|
11 |
> |
Previously, if a dataset's select query included read only (computed by) fields then |
12 |
> |
an automatic row refresh was performed after an insert or update query had been processed, |
13 |
> |
irrespective of the setting of the "ForcedUpdates" property. This has changed such |
14 |
> |
that an automatic refresh is no longer performed if an insert or update query contains |
15 |
> |
a returning clause that updates one or more fields on the current row. A full row |
16 |
> |
refresh is only performed if (a) ForcedRefresh is true or (b) the query does not return any |
17 |
> |
field values and the select query contains read only fields. Use of Insert/update |
18 |
> |
returning should be significantly more efficient than executing a refresh query. |
19 |
> |
|
20 |
> |
This behaviour change is intended to be backwards compatible and there should be no need to change |
21 |
> |
existing programs, other than to improve performance by using the new capability. |
22 |
> |
|
23 |
> |
3. IBCustomDataSet: DELETE...RETURNING queries are now also recognised. However, as |
24 |
> |
they are called when the dataset row is being deleted, there is no value in |
25 |
> |
updating the current record from the query result. Instead, a new event handler |
26 |
> |
"OnDeleteReturning" is provided. If a DELETE...RETURNING query is execute and |
27 |
> |
an OnDeleteReturning event handler is provided then it is called with the IResults returned |
28 |
> |
by the query. The event handler can then interrogate the query results and |
29 |
> |
perform whatever action is necessary. For example to confirm, to the user, |
30 |
> |
the deletion of a row with the returned values. |
31 |
> |
|
32 |
> |
4. TIBTable: generated Insert and Update SQL now include a RETURNING clause for |
33 |
> |
any Computed By or Identity Columns. The IBTables example has been updated to |
34 |
> |
illustrate the computation of the employee Full Name on update. |
35 |
> |
|
36 |
> |
5. TIBTable: The GeneratorField property is now published. |
37 |
> |
|
38 |
> |
6. The InsertSQL property editor now shows Firebird 3 Identity columns separate from the Field List. |
39 |
> |
When InsertSQL is generated, the Identity columns are not included in the list of values to |
40 |
> |
be inserted. A RETURNING clause is added to the insert statement to return the value of |
41 |
> |
each Identity column after the insert is executed. |
42 |
> |
|
43 |
> |
7. The Modify Property Editor now generates Update SQL with Computed By fields in Update..Returning clause. |
44 |
> |
Similarly Insert Property Editor now generates Insert SQL with Computed By fields in |
45 |
> |
Insert..Returning clause. |
46 |
> |
|
47 |
> |
8. TIBGenerator: small performance improvement by not preparing query each time |
48 |
> |
a new value is generated. |
49 |
> |
|
50 |
> |
9. TIBSQL: Free resources when transaction changed - ensures new transaction is used. |
51 |
> |
|
52 |
> |
10. Property editors will now sync table name to a System Table when "Include System |
53 |
> |
Tables" is selected and the query is for a System Table. |
54 |
> |
|
55 |
> |
11. Minor Performance improvement to handling of Date/Time types in IBX datasets. Field |
56 |
> |
values are no longer converted to milliseconds from TDateTime and then back again |
57 |
> |
to TDateTime (the conversion to milliseconds is the default TDataset approach). |
58 |
> |
|
59 |
> |
12. Property Editors handling of Stored Procedures. |
60 |
> |
* Select and Refresh: only show a list of stored procedures that return multiple rows (proc type 1) and |
61 |
> |
which have a non-empty list of output parameters (i.e. stored procedures that may be used in a select |
62 |
> |
query). |
63 |
> |
* Modify and Insert: only show a list of stored procedures that return at most a singleton row (proc type 2). |
64 |
> |
|
65 |
> |
13. IBStoredProc: Now supports Firebird 3 Package Names. A new published property PackageName |
66 |
> |
can be used to select a package. If non-empty, the stored procedure name is |
67 |
> |
expected to be a stored procedure defined in the specified package and the |
68 |
> |
generated SQL will be as required for a stored procedure located in a package. |
69 |
> |
|
70 |
> |
14. Select, Refresh, Insert, Modify, Delete and TIBSQL SQL Property Editors now include |
71 |
> |
a "Package Name" drop down box to allow selection of a Firebird 3 Package from |
72 |
> |
which a stored procedure can be selected. With no package name selected, non-package |
73 |
> |
stored procedures are listed. |
74 |
> |
|
75 |
> |
15. TIBXScript: turn off database login prompt when reconnecting - this avoids prompting |
76 |
> |
for password on reconnect. |
77 |
> |
|
78 |
> |
16. TIBDatabase: use IAttachment for connection default character set id, code page |
79 |
> |
and character set name. |
80 |
> |
|
81 |
> |
17. TIBDatabaseInfo: cache ODS Version information on first request in order to minimise |
82 |
> |
DB info lookups" |
83 |
> |
|
84 |
> |
18. IBExtract: now supports DDL Triggers and Grants to DDL objects. |
85 |
> |
|
86 |
> |
19. Add a property Editor for TIBUpdate.RefreshSQL. |
87 |
> |
|
88 |
> |
20. IBUpdate: Ignore non-data (e.g. calculated) fields when assembling list of input |
89 |
> |
parameters. This stops an exception being raised when the field cannot be |
90 |
> |
located in the record buffer. |
91 |
> |
|
92 |
> |
21. Property Editors now automatically include System Tables when opened and when the query table |
93 |
> |
is a System Table. |
94 |
> |
|
95 |
> |
22. IBServices: SQRB and SRB buffers are now reset when service query throws and exception. |
96 |
> |
This avoids errors due to a stale SQRB or SRB being used for the next query. |
97 |
> |
|
98 |
> |
23. IBServices: Service attach parameters now include "expected_db". This is used to |
99 |
> |
add the SPB item isc_spb_expected_db. This names a database using |
100 |
> |
an alternative Security Database (FB3 onwards) and allows (e.g. backup/restore) using such a |
101 |
> |
database. examples/services re-written to illustrate use of "expected_db". |
102 |
> |
|
103 |
> |
24. IBServices: TIBControlAndQueryService.WriteNextChunk no longer ignores isc_info_svc_timeout. |
104 |
> |
This avoids truncated backups when the server returns a timeout (busy) response. |
105 |
> |
|
106 |
> |
25. TIBDatabase: isc_dpb_page_size now supported as a database parameter when using TIBDatabase.CreateDatabase. |
107 |
> |
|
108 |
> |
26. TIBDatabase: DatabaseName property may now be prefixed by $TEMP$ or $DATADIR$ for local |
109 |
> |
databasenames. These are respectively expanded to the local system's temp directory |
110 |
> |
(including trailing delimiter) or to a directory a prescribed data directory (including |
111 |
> |
trailing delimiter). Under Unix systems the data directory is a hidden directory |
112 |
> |
in the user's home directory. The hidden directory name is either the string returned |
113 |
> |
from the SysUtils "Vendor Name" or "IBX" if empty. In either case prefixed by a '.'. |
114 |
> |
Under Windows, the directory is the same as the Data Directory as decribed |
115 |
> |
above but instead prefixed by the User's application data path. These may be |
116 |
> |
used to improve application portability. |
117 |
> |
|
118 |
> |
27. TIBTable: FieldDefs property is no longer published. Due to the use of TIBFieldDef |
119 |
> |
this has not worked for a long time and is not useful either. FieldDefs should be |
120 |
> |
managed using the Fields Editor as with any other dataset. To access the fields |
121 |
> |
editor for a TIBTable component, double click on the component. The fields editor |
122 |
> |
is then displayed. |
123 |
> |
|
124 |
> |
28. TIBDatabaseInfo: new properties/function |
125 |
> |
* DateDBCreated (returns date/time database created) |
126 |
> |
* TransactionCount (returns no. of active transactions) |
127 |
> |
* GetDatabasePage(PageNo: integer) (returns contents of specified database page - SYSDBA only). |
128 |
> |
* PagesFree (Firebird 3 or later) |
129 |
> |
* PagesUsed (Firebird 3 or later) |
130 |
> |
* Encrypted (returns true if database encrypted. (Firebird 3.0.3 or later only) |
131 |
> |
* EncryptionKeyName (returns the name of the encryption key if any (Firebird 3.0.3 or later only) |
132 |
> |
|
133 |
> |
29. IBServices classes now provided the decoded release number in the (array) property ServerVersionNo. |
134 |
> |
|
135 |
> |
30. TIBSecurityService now supports display/modification of the User Admin Role (Firebird 2.5 and later). |
136 |
> |
|
137 |
> |
31. TIBConfigService now has a procedure SetAutoAdmin(Value: boolean) to enable/disable |
138 |
> |
the automtic mapping of privileged OS users to the RDB$ADMIN role (Firebird 2.5 and later). |
139 |
> |
|
140 |
> |
32. TIBBackupService: New Option - NoDBTriggers equivalent to -nodbtriggers switch introduced |
141 |
> |
in the gbak utility at V.2.1 to prevent database-level and transaction-level triggers from |
142 |
> |
firing during backup and restore. |
143 |
> |
|
144 |
> |
33. Both TIBBackupService and TIBRestoreService now support backup/restore statistics options |
145 |
> |
for verbose output using the new property "StatisticsRequested". |
146 |
> |

147 |
> |
|
148 |
> |
34. TIBRestoreService: now supports new options RestoreMetaDataOnly (Firebird 2.5 and later). |
149 |
> |
|
150 |
> |
35. TIBOnlineValidationService component added to the IBServices and the "Firebird Admin" |
151 |
> |
palette. This uses the online validation feature added in Firebird 2.5. The |
152 |
> |
services's properties enable inclusion/exclusion of tables and indexes using |
153 |
> |
regular expressions. See. |

155 |
> |
|
156 |
> |
36. IBServices: procedure TIBConfigService.SetNoLinger added to set no linger |
157 |
> |
option on a database. |
158 |
> |
|
159 |
> |
37. TIBCustomService: Assign method implemented to allow copying of service login |
160 |
> |
context between service API components. "Detach" method now only detaches |
161 |
> |
service when last reference to the service interface detaches. Tidy up of |
162 |
> |
code for SetActive and Attach methods including password hiding. |
163 |
> |
|
164 |
> |
38. TIBDatabase: new proterties: AuthenticationMethod and RemoteProtocol. Read only |
165 |
> |
and used to determine the auth method and protocol used for the connection. |
166 |
> |
|
167 |
> |
39. TIBDatabase: ensure that SQLDialect setting is used when creating a database using |
168 |
> |
a Create Database Statement generated by IBX. |
169 |
> |
|
170 |
> |
40. All IBServices now have an additional published property "PortNo". This may |
171 |
> |
be set to a non-standard port number when necessary. If zero then the default |
172 |
> |
port number is used. |
173 |
> |
|
174 |
> |
41: TIBLookupComboeditBox: Ensure dataset updated when change selected with the keyboard |
175 |
> |
and not just the mouse. |
176 |
> |
|
177 |
> |
42. TIBCustomDataset: reopen query if already active when a TIBControlLink is added. |
178 |
> |
|
179 |
> |
43. TIBTreeview: new ImageIndexField and SelectedIndexField Property allows the |
180 |

image index and selected image index for each node to be set from a database field. |
181 |
> |
|
182 |
> |
44. TIBExtract: new extract type (etGrantsToUser) for use with eoDatabase. If included |
183 |
> |
then database schema includes grants to all users. If not present then the |
184 |

193 |
> |
changes. |
194 |
> |
|

Bug could result in truncated multi-byte character set values. |
197 |
> |
|
198 |
> |
3. Changes consequential on moving fbintf character set utility functions from |
199 |
> |
IFirebirdAPI to IAttachment. |

Firebird rather than recomputing it. |
211 |
> |
|
212 |
> |
8. Property Editor positioning tidy up: All IBX Property editors should now be |
213 |

> |
|
246 |
> |
22. IBCustomDataset: When database changed ensure that queries an unprepared. |
247 |
> |
|
248 |
> |
23. SQL Property Editors now use SynEdit with SQL Highlighter. New features include: |
249 |
> |
* Line Wrap on SQL Token boundaries (on user command) |
250 |
> |
* auto-complete table names in drop down list of table names |
251 |
> |
* Double click on tablename or field name adds to SQL text |
252 |
> |
|
253 |
> |
24. IBDataOutput: print statistics using float (%f) format instead of decimal (%d). |

> |
|
255 |
> |
25. IBTreeView: Call to FindNode: param type change from "array of Variant" to |
256 |
> |
TVariantArray. Seems to avoid memory corruption in Windows (probably a |
257 |

workaround for a problem in fpc 3.0.4 win64). |
258 |
> |
|
259 |
> |
26. IBDatabaseInfo: Code tidy up. Add check for database not assigned or not open. |
260 |

IBX Change Log version (2.0-2) Fri, 24 Feb 2017 12:17:53 +0000 |
264 |
> |
|
265 |
> |
1. TIBDatabase.CreateDatabase: extract full DB Name from SQL using reg ex in order to |
266 |
> |
include remote system name. |
267 |
> |
|
268 |
> |
2. TIBExtract: No longer include comment header and COMMIT statement for empty |
269 |
> |
tables when data included in output. |
270 |
> |
|
271 |
> |
3. Profiling: IBSQL now has conditional compilation flags to enable query performance |
272 |
> |
and timing information to be written to stdout. This may be used to locate |
273 |
> |
performance bottlenecks. |
274 |
> |
|
275 |
> |
4. SQLParser: only call "OnChanging" event handler when value is different. |
276 |
> |
|
277 |
> |
5. IBDynamicGrid: Update handling of navigation keys for a TDateEdit |
278 |
> |
|
279 |
> |
6. IBCustomDataset: Set internalunprepared flag when transaction ends. This ensures |
280 |
> |
that BindFields is called when the query is next activated. Avoids FieldName |
281 |
> |
not found error. |
282 |
> |
|
283 |
> |
7. IBUpdate: This is a new IBX component similar to TIBUpdateSQL. It is more general |
284 |
> |
purpose and allows the programmer to define any action they want for Update, Insert |
285 |
> |
or Delete. This may be complex SQL (similar to a Trigger), application specific |
286 |
> |
filtering of updates, or use of statements such as Grant or Revoke instead of |
287 |
> |
normal DML. See User Manual for more information. |

3. TIBExtract: data formatted as Charset set "octets" is now output using |
296 |
> |
hexadecimal notation. |
297 |
> |
|
298 |
> |
4. TIBExtract: Binary Blobs and array data can now be embedded in INSERT statements |
299 |

dependency problems restoring complex databases. |
306 |
> |
|
307 |
> |
7. TIBXScript: This component has been restructured to allow for the processing of |
308 |
> |
embedded XML in INSERT statements and to support interactive sources in addition |
309 |
> |
to non-interactive data sources such as files. |
310 |
> |
|
311 |
> |
8. TIBXScript: CREATE DATABASE, DROP DATABASE, CONNECT statements are now supported. |
312 |
> |
|
313 |
> |
9. TIBXScript: ISQL compatiable Set statements are now supported: |
314 |

|
323 |
> |
10. IBVersion unit added to hold current IBX Version Number information. |
324 |
> |
|
325 |
> |
11. TIBExtract: Use character rather than byte length for VarChar procedure arguments., |

|
337 |

See also doc/IBX4LazarusGuide.pdf for important information on |
338 |
> |
upgrading to IBX2. |
339 |
> |
|
340 |
> |
1. Size property of TIBStringField is now the width in characters of the field |
341 |
> |
and not the byte length. This applies only to multi-byte character sets such |
342 |
> |
as UTF8. The original approach aligned with TStringField. However, the TStringField |
343 |
> |
code is not recognised as a bug and hence this change to align the behaviour. |
344 |
> |
The TStringField change is expected in fpc 3.2.0. |
345 |
> |
|
346 |
> |
2. A new property AutoFieldSize: boolean has been added to TIBStringField. When |
347 |
> |
true (default) then Size property value saved in the lfm is ignored. Size is |
348 |
> |
always set from the dynamic information read from the database. It is unclear |
349 |
> |
why anyone would want to override this and set Size to false. |
350 |
> |
|
351 |
> |
3. ibxscript: should now handle correctly a Case..End statement within a procedure |
352 |
> |
block. |
353 |
> |
|
354 |
> |
4. IBDatabase: new property - CreateIfNotExists. If true and database does not |
355 |
> |
exist when an attempt is made to connect to it (run time only) then an attempt |
356 |
> |
is made to create the database. |
357 |
> |
|
358 |
> |
5. IBDatabase: new event - OnCreateDatabase. This event is called after a database |
359 |
> |
has been successfully created as a result of a call to CreateDatabase or when |
360 |
> |
creating a database after it was found not to exist. |
361 |
> |
|
362 |
> |
6. DBControlGrid: a race condition could result in the wrong row image being |
363 |
> |
written to the cache. This has been avoided by a trip round the message |
364 |
> |
loop before rendering the row image. |
365 |
> |
|
366 |
> |
7. DBControlGrid: It is strongly recommended not to open the source DataSet for |
367 |
> |
a DBControlGrid during a Form's "OnShow" event handler. Under GTK2 this is |
368 |
> |
known to risk corrupt rendering of row images when the control is first |
369 |
> |
displayed. If necessary use "Application.QueueAsyncCall" to delay opening |
370 |
> |
of the dataset (see DBControlGrid examples) until the Form's Window has been created. |
371 |
> |
|
372 |
> |
8. DBControlGrid & IBDynamicGrid: Navigation keys should now work correctly with |
373 |
> |
a TDateEdit control located on an editor panel. |
374 |
> |
|
375 |
> |
9. TIBExtract: brought up-to-date plus many bug fixes. |
376 |
> |
|
377 |
> |
10. DBControlGrid: Removed memory leak when updating rows. |
378 |
> |
|
379 |
> |
11. TIBCMLocalDBSupport: fixed invalid free on upgrade. |

1. IBCustomDataset: When calling SetCodePage, no longer request transliteration |
384 |
> |
when target codepage is CP_NONE. This is a workaround for |
385 |
> |
http://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=30622. |
386 |
> |
|
387 |
> |
2. DBLog option removed from TIBStatisticalService - not supported by server |
388 |
> |
since Firebird 1.5. |
389 |
> |
|
390 |
> |
3. ibxscript: An error is no longer generated for "on commit preserve rows" or |
391 |
> |
similar. |
392 |
> |
|
393 |
> |
4. IBCodePage: updated mapping between codepages and character id. |
394 |
> |
|
395 |
> |
5. ftWideString and ftWideMemo withdrawn. There is no UTF16 character set in |
396 |
> |
Firebird. Character sets with a char width of two are not UTF16. |
397 |
> |
|
398 |
> |
6. Strings received from the database are now always transliterated into UTF8 |
399 |
> |
regardless of the database character set or connection character set. This |
400 |
> |
is for compatibility with the LCL. |

1. IBBlob: Defer reading of blob until read method called. This avoids having to |
405 |
> |
read in an entire blob just to get the size of the blob. General performance |
406 |
> |
improvement when opening datasets containing blobs. |
407 |
> |
|
408 |
> |
2. Clearing a Blob now sets the corresponding field's modified flag. |
409 |
> |
|
410 |
> |
3. IBLookupCombo: When not performing auto-complete, original query sort order |
411 |
> |
is now used. |
412 |
> |
|
413 |
> |
4. IBDynamicGrid: Add OnSelectEditor event. Allows editor panel to be dynamically |
414 |
> |
determined. |
415 |
> |
|
416 |
> |
5. IBDynamicGrid: Recompute column widths after dataset closed and re-opened. |
417 |
> |
|
418 |
> |
6. IBLookupCombo: LazUTF8 added to uses clause to avoid compilation problems post |
419 |
> |
lazarus 1.6.0 |
420 |
> |
|
421 |

|
426 |
> |
1. No character set specified for connection: when a text blob is retrieved, the |
427 |
> |
character set is determined by looking up the native character set using then |
428 |
> |
Firebird API. Otherwise a text mode blob is assumed to have the same character |
429 |
> |
set as the connection. |
430 |
> |
|
431 |
> |
2. TIBGUIInterface: this is an internal interface. Minor type changes to allow |
432 |
> |
for Login Dialog returing a change to the database path. |
433 |
> |
|
434 |
> |
3. Design Time Database and Server login Dialogs now allow the Database Name/Server Name |
435 |
> |
to be changed from that given in the TIBDatabase/TIBServer component and for the |
436 |
> |
entered value to be saved on a project specific basis (design time only). |
437 |
> |
|
438 |
> |
4. IBDynamicGrid: TDBLookupCellEditor now compares its DataFieldName with the |
439 |
> |
column fieldname. If they are the same then it is acts as a look up for the KeyValue |
440 |
> |
Otherwise, it sets the column text to the selected ListField Value. |
441 |
> |
|
442 |
> |
5. IBDynamicGrid: Only visible columns are now taken into account When recalculating |
443 |
> |
column width. |
444 |
> |
|
445 |
> |
6. IBLookupComboEditBox: Fix error with autocomplete query when a RelationName is given |
446 |
> |
and a case insensitive search is requested. |
447 |
> |
|
448 |
> |
7. IBDynamicGrid: No longer ignores notifications removing Column Totals controls |
449 |
> |
or column ListSource. |
450 |
> |
|
451 |
> |
8. IBQuery: no longer performs unnecessary refresh of SQL Text (and hence avoids an |
452 |
> |
unprepare) when closing and the text has not changed. |
453 |
> |
|
454 |
> |
9. IBSQL: Base the cursor name on a GUID instead of a hexstr version of the class pointer. |
455 |
> |
Less likely to cause a cursor re-use error on Windows. |
456 |
> |
|
457 |
> |
10.SV5IPC: include workaround for OSX. FPC 3.0.0 has broken ipc module for darwin. |
458 |
> |
Expected to be fixed in 3.0.2. Hence workaround only applies to 3.0.0. |
459 |
> |
|
460 |
> |
11. TIBTreeView: Guard against nil destination on record changed |
461 |
> |
|
462 |
> |
12. AnsiString Code page support: TIBStringField.AsString and TIBMemoField.AsString now return a |
463 |
> |
string type with the code page set to reflect the returned field encoding after |
464 |
> |
Firebird driver transliteration, if any. FPC 3.0.0 onwards only. Behaviour unchanged for |
465 |
> |
earlier versions. |
466 |
> |
|
467 |
> |
13. AnsiString Code page support: Assigning to TIBStringField.AsString and TIBMemoField.AsString |
468 |
> |
will now result in transliteration to the code page specified for the Firebird driver |
469 |
> |
if the assigned string has a different code page. FPC 3.0.0 onwards only. |
470 |
> |
|
471 |
> |
14. TIBDatabase: new property UseDefaultSystemCodePage. When set any lc_ctype parameter |
472 |
> |
is ignored and the lc_ctype value, when the database is opened, is set to align with |
473 |
> |
the DefaultSystemCodePage (FPC 3.0.0 onwards). Normally, this is what you want and should ensure |
474 |
> |
platform independence. Note: this applies to FPC 3.0.0 and earlier versions. Pre FPC |
475 |
> |
3.0.0, when this property is true, the lc_ctype is UTF8 except under windows when |
476 |
> |
the GETACP is used to determine the Windows code page. |
477 |
> |
|
478 |
> |
15. TIBDatabase: new property DefaultCharSetName. This is the Firebird character set |
479 |
> |
name used as the lc_ctype when the database was opened. Only valid while the |
480 |
> |
Database is connected. |
481 |
> |
|
482 |
> |
16. TIBDatabase: new property DefaultCodePage (FPC >=3.0.0 only). This is the codepage |
483 |
> |
id that corresponds to the DefaultCharSetName. |

1. Unix: If Firebird Embedded Server shared object is loaded and a local database |
488 |
> |
path is given and database attach fails due to access permission issues on the |
489 |
> |
temp directory or security database, then the attach is retried with "localhost:" |
490 |
> |
prefixing the databasename. This should avoid problems when the database has to |
491 |
> |
be accessed by a local (e.g. classic) server and libfbembed is used. |
492 |
> |
|
493 |
> |
2. Windows: revised search order for Firebird DLL: |
494 |
> |
i. The Firebird Embedded Server in the application Directory. |
495 |
> |
ii. If the FIREBIRD environment variable is set then the directory this |
496 |
> |
points to is searched for the FB Client DLL and then then underlying |
497 |
> |
"bin" directory. |
498 |
> |
iii. Registry Key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Firebird Project\Firebird Server\Instances |
499 |
> |
is used to locate the Firebird installation directory and the underlying |
500 |
> |
"bin" directory is searched for the FB Client DLL. |
501 |
> |
iv. The Default installation directories C:\Program Files\Firebird\Firebird_2_x |
502 |
> |
are searched for the FB Client DLL. |
503 |
> |
v. The PATH Environment variable is used to search for the FB Client DLL. |
504 |
> |
vi. Finally the PATH Environment variable is used to search for IBASE.DLL. |
505 |
> |
|
506 |
> |
3. New Component: TIBXScript. This is an ISQL compatible SQL script execution engine. |
507 |
> |
See doc/readme.scriptengine and example applications. |
508 |
> |
|
509 |
> |
4. New Component: TIBlocalDBSupport. This is a TIBDatabase support component intended to |
510 |
> |
simplify the use of the embedded firebird server on both Linux and Windows platforms. |
511 |
> |
See dpc/readme.localdatabase and example applications. |
512 |
> |
|
513 |
> |
5. IBDynamicGrid: Reordering on column header click should now also work for |
514 |
> |
dynamic columns. |
515 |
> |
|
516 |
> |
6. ISQLMonitor: (Windows only). Mutex added to TMultilockGate to avoid race condition |
517 |
> |
between incrementing/decrementing the lock count and signalling the event. |

1.3.2 was never formally released and only made available as beta copies. |
522 |
> |
|
523 |
> |
1. DBControlGrid,IBDynamicGrid: Ignore down arrow and up arrow in TCustomMemo |
524 |
> |
|
525 |
> |
2. IBDynamicGrid: Now deals correctly with a single column grid which has no indicator and autosize column |
526 |
> |
|
527 |
> |
3. IBLookupComboEditBox: reset timer on each key press - avoids timer going off too early |
528 |
> |
|
529 |
> |
4. IBDynamicGrid: Call event OnUpdateSortOrder even when aliasname not found in dataset |
530 |
> |
i.e. when it is a calculated field |
531 |
> |
|
532 |
> |
5. IBDynamicGrid: Fix problem selecting a different row when expanded row at end of grid. |
533 |
> |
This problem was due to a race condition between recalculating row heights and |
534 |
> |
determining which row was selected by the mouse click. The row height calculation |
535 |
> |
is now deferred by an extra trip round the message loop allowing the row to |
536 |
> |
be always calculated on the current grid layout rather than risking it being |
537 |
> |
calculated on the grid layout after the expanded row has been shrunk. |
538 |
> |
|
539 |
> |
6. IBLookupComboEditBox: avoid race condition between cm_killfocus and cm_exit on |
540 |
> |
Windows. |
541 |
> |
|
542 |
> |
7. TIBStringField: Now has two new public properties: CharacterSetName: string and CharacterSetSize: integer; |
543 |
> |
These properties allow the (Firebird) character set name for the field and the max number of bytes per character |
544 |
> |
to be determined at runtime. See doc/readme.charactersets.html. |
545 |
> |
|
546 |
> |
8. TIBWideStringField: This is a new field type with the same additional public properties as above and subclassed from |
547 |
> |
TWideStringField. This field type is used with the character size reported by Firebird is two. See doc/readme.charactersets.html. |
548 |
> |
|
549 |
> |
9. TIBMemoField and TIBWideMemoField: new field types with the same additional public properties as above and subclassed from |
550 |
> |
TMemoField and TWideMemoField respectively. These field types are used with Blob subtype 1 and a characterset size of |
551 |
> |
1, 3 or 4 (TIBMemoField) or 2 (TIBWideMemoField). See doc/readme.charactersets.html. |
552 |
> |
|
553 |
> |
Both also have a new published property "DisplayTextAsClassName". If false (default) the displaytext is generated |
554 |
> |
from the blob text by truncating the string to the displaywidth (in characters not bytes). A displaywidth of zero |
555 |
> |
implies no truncation. |
556 |
> |
|
557 |
> |
10. IBLookupComboEditBox: Force autocomplete when EditingDone called and timer active. |
558 |
> |
|
559 |
> |
11. IBDynamicGrid: Call DataSet.Append when entering edit mode and dataset empty and not in insert state |
560 |
> |
(avoids "Not in Edit Mode" error). |
561 |
> |
|
562 |
> |
12. IBDynamicGrid: Correctly resize grid when one column width plus indicator. |
563 |
> |
|
564 |
> |
13. IBDynamicGrid: Ensure Editor Panel has focus when shown - avoids Windows API calling |
565 |
> |
DBGrid.DoExit on subsequent mouse click (e.g. on child control such as a tabbed page control. |
566 |
> |
|
567 |
> |
14. IBDynamicGrid: ignore up, down tab and return when editorpanel open and focus in a TCustomGrid descendent. |
568 |
> |
|
569 |
> |
15. DBControlGrid: Stop flashing grid when dataset closed and then re-opened while DisabledControls |
570 |
> |
|
571 |
> |
16. IBQuery: Bug fixed that prevented SQL being set programmatically once the Parser had been invoked. |
572 |
> |
|
573 |
> |
17. IBCustomDataSet: On close, parser is now freed and Select SQL reverts to value before DataSet Opened. |

1. OnCloseUp Event Handler added to TDBLookupProperties |
578 |
> |
|
579 |
> |
2. IBDynamicGrid: Call to OnEditorPanelHide is now last editor hide action - avoids |
580 |
> |
problem with row size when exception is called. |
581 |
> |
|
582 |
> |
3. IBLookupComboEditBox: Force pending autocomplete on combobox exit. |
583 |
> |
|
584 |
> |
4. IBDynamicGrid and DBControlGrid: Keyhandler now ignores up, down, escape and return keys if |
585 |
> |
in a TCustomComboBox and ignores return key if in a TCustomMemo |
586 |
> |
|
587 |
> |
5. IBLookupComboEditBox: Ensure that KeyValue is set correctly when full text |
588 |
> |
keyed in i.e. when autocomplete not performed |
589 |
> |
|
590 |
> |
6. Cleanup of "Uses" clauses and add console mode support. IBX should now support |
591 |
> |
console mode applications with all LCL required functions (builtin dialogs and |
592 |
> |
cursor management) centralised in the IBDialogs unit. As long as "IBDialogs" is |
593 |
> |
not included in your project, IBX should compile and link with a console mode program. |
594 |
> |
See consolemode example and its "readme"for further guidence. DO NOT add the ibexpress package to a |
595 |
> |
console mode application or the IDE will automatically assume that your |
596 |
> |
application is GUI based. Instead, you should include the ibexpressconsolemode package. |
597 |
> |
|
598 |
> |
IMPORTANT NOTE: IBDialogs must be included in GUI applications in order |
599 |
> |
to use the built in dialogs and cursor management. IBDialogs is |
600 |
> |
included by default if "ibexpress" is in your project source's "uses" clause. |
601 |
> |
This should be the case for all projects created through the IDE. This is why |
602 |
> |
you do not want to add the ibexpress package to console mode applications. The |
603 |
> |
ibexpressconsolemode package has been created to allow console mode programs |
604 |
> |
to avoid adding LCL dependencies when using IBX, while still having the |
605 |
> |
unit search paths set up correctly. |
606 |
> |
|
607 |
> |
Existing users should check to ensure that the "ibexpress" unit is included in |
608 |
> |
each project's source file (*.lpr). |
609 |
> |
|
610 |
> |
You may find that in order for the IDE to recognise that ibexpressconsolemode |
611 |
> |
exists, you have to first open the package in the IDE and then close it. This |
612 |
> |
adds it to the most recently accessed packages list. To make it permanently |
613 |
> |
available, add the package name to lazarus' staticpackages.inc file. |
614 |
> |
|
615 |
> |
Thanks to Julio Jiménez for suggesting support of console mode. |
616 |

|
617 |
> |
7. SQL Parser can now accept quoted strings that include new lines |
618 |
> |
|
619 |
> |
8. IBDynamicGrid: Lookup Cell Editor - the cursor is now positioned at end |
620 |
> |
of text on start of edit. This is particularly useful when tabbing to a |
621 |
> |
column and then inserting text. |
622 |
> |
|
623 |
> |
9. New Examples provided for IB Services and ISQLMonitor. |
624 |
> |
|
625 |
> |
10. Fix error when writing to blob streams that recorded only the last buffer |
626 |
> |
write in the blob stream. In most cases, this did not cause a problem as the |
627 |
> |
IB Blob Stream is written in a single write. However, with the TDBImage, write |
628 |
> |
of a graphic type prefix was lost which caused a problem when the image could |
629 |
> |
not be automatically recognised. |
630 |
> |
|
631 |
> |
11. Improve generation of random cursor names in TIBSQL - avoid risk of "cursor |
632 |
> |
already open" errors due to random numbers used for the cursor name being identical. |
633 |
> |
|
634 |
> |
12. IBTable: corrected error that could result in an "Index out of bounds" error |
635 |
> |
when opening the table and the Primary Key is the last or only column in the |
636 |
> |
table. Thanks to Rick Hoover for the fix. |
637 |
> |
|
638 |
> |
13. Fix TIBDatabase initialisation of lc_ctype under unix. Set to "UTF8" instead |
639 |
> |
of "UTF-8", and update list of available database character sets. Existing |
