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 |
> |
only user grants included are those to User PUBLIC. |
| 185 |
> |
|
| 186 |
> |
45. TIBTreeView: performance improvement. When expanding include both expanded node |
| 187 |

IBX Change Log version (2.1-0) Fri, 15 Dec 2017 12:20:11 +0000 |
| 191 |
|
|
| 192 |
|
1. IBCustomDataset: Minor change of PChar to PByte for compatibility with fbintf |
| 193 |
|
changes. |
| 203 |
|
5. IBLookupComboEditBox: avoid race condition when autocompleting text that occasionally |
| 204 |
|
results in autocomplete ignoring prefix text. |
| 205 |
|
|
| 206 |
+ |
6. IBLookupComboEditBox: Ensure that cursor is not reset to start of text when |
| 207 |
+ |
entering a new name into the text box. |
| 208 |
+ |
|
| 209 |
+ |
7. IBCustomDataset: ensure that TIBStringField uses the field size reported by |
| 210 |
+ |
Firebird rather than recomputing it. |
| 211 |
+ |
|
| 212 |
+ |
8. Property Editor positioning tidy up: All IBX Property editors should now be |
| 213 |
+ |
screen centre. Previously some were "poDesigned" which may be inappropriate |
| 214 |
+ |
for multi monitor desktops. |
| 215 |
+ |
|
| 216 |
+ |
10. TIBTreeView.FindNode: protect against error if zero length path or empty tree node. |
| 217 |
+ |
|
| 218 |
+ |
11. TIBTransaction: On Force Disconnect do not raise an exception when problem ending |
| 219 |
+ |
a transaction and always reset the object. |
| 220 |
+ |
|
| 221 |
+ |
12. TIBQuery tidyup: remove unnecessary call to GetAffectedRows. |
| 222 |
+ |
|
| 223 |
+ |
13. TIBXScript: Allow for override of database filename in Create Database statements. |
| 224 |
+ |
|
| 225 |
+ |
14. IBLocaldb: Support initialisation of the database from an SQL script in addition |
| 226 |
+ |
to a gbak format archive. |
| 227 |
+ |
|
| 228 |
+ |
15. IBLocaldb: fix problem that stopped the OnSharedDataDir event from being recognised. |
| 229 |
+ |
|
| 230 |
+ |
16. IBLocaldb: Drop database if error creating an empty database. |
| 231 |
+ |
|
| 232 |
+ |
17. TIBTreeView: improve performance when selecting node - avoid refreshing dataset |
| 233 |
+ |
unless selected node not in current dataset. |
| 234 |
+ |
|
| 235 |
+ |
18. IBServices: SetDBParams method moved from TCustomIBLocalDBSupport (in IBLocalDB package) |
| 236 |
+ |
to TIBCustomService, and IBlocalDB code tidy up. |
| 237 |
+ |
|
| 238 |
+ |
19. IBTreeView: Initialise TIBTreeNode KeyValue to null to avoid unpredictable |
| 239 |
+ |
behaviour due to uninitialised variable. |
| 240 |
+ |
|
| 241 |
+ |
20. IBServices: Correct encoding of isc_spb_prp_write_mode in TIBConfigService from |
| 242 |
+ |
integer to byte. Ditto isc_spb_prp_reserve_space and isc_spb_prp_access_mode. |
| 243 |
+ |
|
| 244 |
+ |
21. IBSQL: When Database changed ensure that all resources are freed. |
| 245 |
+ |
|
| 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). |
| 254 |
+ |
|
| 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 |
+ |
|
| 261 |
+ |
27. IBDatabaseInfo: Remove memory leak when accessing database operation counts. |
| 262 |
+ |
|
| 263 |
|
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 |
| 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. |
| 288 |
+ |
|

|
|
| 291 |
|
1. TIBEvents: Fix uninitialised variable that could result in lost events. |
