3	>	1. New property for TIBDatabase and TIBXServicesConnection. This is "ConfigOverrides"
4	>	and is used to override the default settings in the client side "firebird.conf" This
5	>	includes "WireCompression" and "WireCrypt". The value of this property is a "TStrings".
6	>	Each line of the string list should be a setting in the same format as "firebird.conf".
7	>	For example "WireCompression = true" in order to request wire compression on the client side.
8	>
9	>	Note: explicit settings in the client side "firebird.conf" appear to take precedence
10	>	over settings given in TIBDatabase and TIBXServicesConnection. Many client side settings
11	>	also require a compatible setting in the server side "firebird.conf". For example
12	>	"WireCompression = true" must also be set in the server's "firebird.conf" for wire
13	>	compression to be used.
14	>
15	>	Whether or not WireCompression or WireCrypt are in use can be checked using the information
16	>	returned with the Client/Server protocol version. See ibx/examples/dbadmin and
17	>	ibx/examples/dbinfo for examples of how to display this information.
18	>
19	>	2. New property for TIBDatabase and TIBXServicesConnection: "WireCompression". This
20	>	is a "convenience" property. If set the "WireCompression=true" is added to the
21	>	ConfigOverrides. If unchecked then this setting is removed.
22	>
23	>	3. TIBExtract: 64-bit integer types are now correctly extracted as "BIGINT" and
24	>	not "INT64".
25	>
26	>	4. New published properties for TIBCSVDataOut, TIBInsertStmtsOut and TIBBlockFormatOut
27	>	These are:
28	>	property TimestampFormat: string;
29	>	property DateFormat: string;
30	>	property TimeFormat: string;
31	>
32	>	Respectively, these provide the date time format templates for SQL types: TIMESTAMP,
33	>	DATETIME and TIME. The format strings use the standard FPC date/time format
34	>	characters (see https://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/rtl/sysutils/formatchars.html).
35	>
36	>	If any of the above properties are set to an empty string, then the locale default
37	>	is used. This uses the ShortDateFormat and the LongTimeFormat. In timestamp, the
38	>	locale default is extended by appending '.zzz' to include milliseconds.
39	>
40	>	TIBCSVDataOut by default sets these properties to the empty string, while the other
41	>	two use: 'yyyy.mm.dd hh:nn:ss.zzz', 'yyyy.mm.dd' and 'hh:nn:ss.zzz' respectively.
42	>
43	>	5. New published property for TIBCSVDataOut:
44	>	property QuoteStrings: boolean (default true)
45	>
46	>	If false then strings are unquoted, otherwise, the QuoteChar property value is
47	>	used to delimit each and every string in the output.
48	>
49	>	6. New published properties for TIBCSVDataOut:
50	>	property FieldSeparator: string;
51	>	property HeaderSeparator: string;
52	>
53	>	Respectively, these provide the separator character(s) used to separate fields
54	>	in data and header rows. Both default to ','.
55	>
56	>	7. New published properties for TIBCSVDataOut and TIBBlockFormatOut:
57	>	TOnFormatTextString = procedure(sender: TObject; var TextString: string) of object;
58	>	property OnFormatTextString;
59	>
60	>	This event handler can be used to process text strings before they are included
61	>	in the output e.g. to replace unprintable characters with alternative strings.
62	>	This only applies to columns with an SQL Type of SQL_VARYING and SQL_TEXT.
63	>
64	>	8. TIBDataSet now raises an exception when ParamByName called with an invalid parameter name.
65	>
66	>	9. TIBQuery now uses IBX SQL Parser instead of TParams SQL parser in order to ensure
67	>	consistency with SQL queries.
68	>
69	>	10. CaseSensitiveParameterNames property added to TIBSQL, TIBDataSet and TIBQuery.
70	>	When true, SQL statement parameter names are parsed case sensitive. Note for
71	>	TIBDataSet only applies to Select query.
72	>
73	>	11. IBEvents: removing a TIBEvent component from a form should no longer result in
74	>	an IDE exception.
75	>
76	>	IBX Change Log  version (2.3-2) Wed, 05 Dec 2018 12:19:23 +0000
77	>
78	>	1. Remove need to check for IsMultiThread by providing access to GUI timers via
79	>	IBGUIInterface. Note: master/detail delay timer does not apply to console
80	>	mode apps.
81	>
82	>	2. TIBCustomDataSet: SQLParser ignored if it does not contain a valid select
83	>	statement. This avoids problems if "Execute Block" is used as the Query.
84	>
85	>	3. IBSQLParser now uses the common SQL tokeniser from fbintf. This replaces the
86	>	internal SQL tokeniser routines.
87	>
88	>	4. IBSQLParser: new property NotaSelectStmt. Set to true if SQL fails to parse
89	>	as a select statement, with or without CTEs.
90	>
91	>	5. IBSQLParser: parser now recognises the "ROWS" clause.
92	>
93	>	6. TIBXScript now uses the common SQL tokeniser from fbintf. This replaces the
94	>	internal SQL tokeniser routines.
95	>
96	>	7.  Fix error in TIBXScript processing of "set" statements. This avoids exceptions
97	>	being raised for valid set statements processed by a data formatter.
98	>
99	>	8. New published property for TIBDatabase and TIBXServicesConnection. This is
100	>	FirebirdLibraryPathName: string. If not empty it is used to explicitly specify
101	>	the path of the Firebird Library used by the database/services connection.
102	>
103	>	9. New read only public property for TIBDatabase and TIBXServicesConnection. This
104	>	is FirebirdAPI and returns the IFirebirdAPI interface used by the database/
105	>	services connection.
106	>
107	>	10.SQL Property editors now quote parameter names if "Quote identifier" is selected
108	>	or param name is not a valid SQL identifier.
109	>
110	>	11. IBLookupComboEditBox: In Lazarus 2.0, TDBLookupComboBox takes a more restrictive
111	>	view of whether the text box should be editable when no DataSource is specified.
112	>	TIBLookupComboEditBox has been updated to workaround this problem. As long as
113	>	ReadOnly is false, the text box is editable when no DataSource is specified.
114	>
115	>	12. AllowUseOfFBLIB is now set to "true" at design time. This is to allow use of
116	>	the FBLIB environment variable. If you do not want to permit this then you
117	>	must modify the Register procedure in the design/IBDBReg.pas unit to remove
118	>	this setting.

127	>	IMPORTANT: the source code tree has been re-organised for IBX 2.3. Please remove
128	>	all previous copies of the IBX source code tree before installing this release.
129	>
130	>	The IBX packages used by most users have not changed, with one exception. The
131	>	IBServices unit has been moved to the package iblegacyServices.lpk. To continue
132	>	to use the IBServices unit in your applications, please add the iblegacyServices
133	>	to the list of dependencies. To do this, open the Project Inspector and select
134	>	Add->New Requirement and select "ibLegacyServices" from the list of available
135	>	packages.
136	>
137	>	1. New unit IBXServices. The IBXServices unit is a re-architectured update of
138	>	the IBServices unit providing what is intended to be a clearer and easier to
139	>	use set of IB Services components. See Chapter 10 of the IBX User Guide for
140	>	more information and the guide to "Firebird Service Management Using IBX".
141	>	As indicated above, the legacy services components are still available and
142	>	provided in a separate package. There is no need to update working applications
143	>	using the older versions except for an additional package dependency.
144	>
145	>	2. The IBX packages and source code tree have been re-organised in an attempt to
146	>	finally get rid of the "duplicate ppu" warnings. This re-organisation should
147	>	not affect existing users. Section 2.3 of the IBX User Guide describes the
148	>	new set of IBX packages.
149	>
150	>	3. The ibx/examples/DBAdmin and the ibx/examples/services example have been
151	>	updated to use the new Services API components.
152	>
153	>	4. The iblocal package has been updated to use the new Services API components.
154	>
155	>	5. procedure SetAutoAdmin; in the new IBX Services this method is now a member of
156	>	TIBXSecurityService. It had been wrongly classified in the previous version
157	>	as a per database configuration item. It is global to a server and hence
158	>	correctly positioned as part of the Security Package. In the DBAdmin example,
159	>	the setting has moved to the mappings page.
160	>
161	>	6. TIBXScript: IgnoreCreateDatabase added. If true then CREATE DATABASE statements
162	>	are ignored.
163	>
164	>	7. TIBDatabase: DropDatabase now ensures that all transactions have been properly
165	>	closed before the database is dropped. Before and After Disconnect event handlers
166	>	are also fired.
167	>
168	>	8. TIBTransaction: OnStartTransaction event now fires every time the transaction
169	>	is started and not just the first time.
170	>
171	>	9. IBDataOutput: Use FormatFloat for all performance statistics to avoid platform
172	>	depenendency with comp type.
173	>
174	>	10. IBDataOutput: select query data output is now sent to stdout instead of stderr.
175	>
176	>	11. TIBDatabase: Remove regression. If a user login dialog changes the DatabaseName
177	>	then this is recognised and not ignored.
178	>
179	>	12. TIBDataSet, TIBQuery, TIBTable: additions:
180	>	function GetRowsAffected(var SelectCount, InsertCount, UpdateCount, DeleteCount: integer): boolean;
181	>	function GetPerfStatistics(var stats: TPerfCounters): boolean;
182	>	property EnableStatistics: boolean read FEnableStatistics write SetEnableStatistics;
183	>
184	>	GetRowsAffected returns the affected row counts from the last insert/update/delete
185	>	if EnableStatistics = true then GetPerfStatistics returns the current stats
186	>	counters for the select query. Note: stats accumulate after each fetch from
187	>	the database. To get total query cost after open, call the "Last" method
188	>	and then GetPerfStatistics.
189	>
190	>	See ibx/examples/consolemode for an example of the use of GetPerfStatistics
191	>
192	>	13. TIBExtract: Identity columns DDL. "Start with clause" now correctly encapsulated
193	>	in parenthesises.
194	>
195	>	14. TIBExtract: new published property "AlwaysQuoteIdentifiers". If true then in dialect 3
196	>	SQL identifiers are always delimited by double quotes. If false, then they are
197	>	only delimited if the identifier is a reserved word, contains lower case or special
198	>	characters. Set this property to true to retain previous behaviour.
199	>
200	>	15. Insert SQL Property Editor. In Insert Returning Clause, Identity column names
201	>	are now inserted in double quotes if not Reserved Words or valid SQL Identifiers.
202	>
203	>	16. TIBDataSet, TIBQuery, TIBTable: addition:
204	>	property MasterDetailDelay: integer {defaults to zero}
205	>
206	>	When non-zero and the dataset is a detail table referencing a master table
207	>	through either a MasterSource (TIBTable) or a DataSource (TIBDataSet, TIBQuery)
208	>	then a synchronisation delay is added (in milliseconds) between the master
209	>	row changing and the detail dataset being re-opened. If the master dataset
210	>	is scrolled before the delay expires then the delay is reset. This can be used
211	>	to avoid performance overheads when scrolling through a large master dataset.
212	>
213	>	Note: uses fptimer and hence requires a thread manager. Under Linux the
214	>	chreads unit must be included in your project. TTimer is not used in order
215	>	to avoid an LCL dependency. Requires FPC 3.0.2 or later.
216	>
217	>	17. TIBExtract: User role grants now excluded when etGrantsToUser not specified
218	>	with Extract Option eoDatabase.
219	>
220	>	18. TIBLookupComboEditBox: Workaround added for https://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=33428
221	>	When a deLayoutChanged event is reported on the ListSource dataset, the
222	>	combobox text is updated. This allows a listsource (detail) to be in a Master/Detail
223	>	relationship with the control's datasource (master).
224	>
225	>	19. TIBExtract: Full BigInt value range now supported for Generators/Sequences.
226	>
227	>	20. TIBExtract: Select Procedures (Procedure type 1) now include "SUSPEND;" clause in their
228	>	stubs. Pedantic fix really, as procedures output in dependency order anyway.
229	>
230	>	21. TIBExtract: Package Headers and Package Bodies are now included in the extracted
231	>	DDL (Firebird 3 and later only).
232	>
233	>	22. TIBLookupComboBox Autocomplete Fixes:
234	>	i. Only appended text is now selected after autocomplete.
235	>	ii. Uppercase keys no longer ignored for autocomplete.
236	>	iii. Retain Prefix case is now honoured correctly.
237	>	iv. When a DataSource is assigned, typing after autocomplete now extends prefix
238	>	before autocomplete performed. i.e. behaviour now the same as when
239	>	no DataSource assigned.
240	>
241	>	23. TIBXScript: Single Line Comments starting with '--' are now ignored when occurring
242	>	between SQL statements.
243	>
244	>	24. TIBExtract: New published property CaseSensitiveObjectNames. If false (default) then
245	>	ObjectNames are converted to upper case before matching against metadata object
246	>	names, unless the objectname is delimited by double quotes, in which case, the
247	>	double quotes are removed and the remaining string is used (unmodified) to match
248	>	against the metadata object name.
249	>
250	>	If true then the ObjectName is used as is without modification and matched
251	>	against the metadata object name. No attempt is made to remove double quotes.
252	>
253	>	25. TIBExtract: New Extract Types: etDatabaseTriggers and etDDLTriggers. When used
254	>	with eoTrigger, these extract types can be used to select only Database Triggers,
255	>	or DDL Triggers or both. Ignored when etTable or etTrigger included in Extract Types.
256	>
257	>	26. TIBXScript: If an exception occurs during the processing of a statement, the
258	>	statement separate character is now reset to the default (';').
259	>
260	>	27. TIBDatabase: Reconnect method added and used by TIBXScript for reconnect.
261	>
262	>	28. TIBXScript: Transaction is no longer automatically reactivated immediately processing
263	>	a commit or reconnect statement and instead activated only when next SQL statement
264	>	is executed.
265	>
266	>	29. TIBSQL.HasField should no longer generate and exception when the field does not exist.
267	>
268	>	30. TIBXScript: case insensitive regex now used when matching statements instead of
269	>	converting statement to upper case.
270	>
271	>	31. TIBExtract: metadata comments now supported. New published property
272	>	IncludeMetaDataComments (default true). If true then metadata comments included
273	>	in extracted DDL. New Extract Object member eoComments. This may be used with
274	>	ExtractObject method to list all metadata comments.
275	>
276	>	32. TIBExtract: ListObjectNames method added.
277	>
278	>	33. Updated Database component editor to support additional connection string
279	>	types.

302		refresh is only performed if (a) ForcedRefresh is true or (b) the query does not return any

304	<	returning should be significantly more efficient than excuting a refresh query.
304	>	returning should be significantly more efficient than executing a refresh query.
305
306		This behaviour change is intended to be backwards compatible and there should be no need to change

318	>	4. TIBTable: generated Insert and Update SQL now include a RETURNING clause for
319		any Computed By or Identity Columns. The IBTables example has been updated to
320		illustrate the computation of the employee Full Name on update.

346		* Select and Refresh: only show a list of stored procedures that return multiple rows (proc type 1) and
347		which have a non-empty list of output parameters (i.e. stored procedures that may be used in a select
348		query).
349		* Modify and Insert: only show a list of stored procedures that return at most a singleton row (proc type 2).

352		can be used to select a package. If non-empty, the stored procedure name is
353		expected to be a stored procedure defined in the specified package and the
354		generated SQL will be as required for a stored procedure located in a package.

359		stored procedures are listed.
360
361	+	15. TIBXScript: turn off database login prompt when reconnecting - this avoids prompting
362	+	for password on reconnect.
363	+
364	+	16. TIBDatabase: use IAttachment for connection default character set id, code page
365	+	and character set name.
366	+
367	+	17. TIBDatabaseInfo: cache ODS Version information on first request in order to minimise
368	+	DB info lookups"
369	+
370	+	18. IBExtract: now supports DDL Triggers and Grants to DDL objects.
371	+
372	+	19. Add a property Editor for TIBUpdate.RefreshSQL.
373	+
374	+	20. IBUpdate: Ignore non-data (e.g. calculated) fields when assembling list of input
375	+	parameters. This stops an exception being raised when the field cannot be
376	+	located in the record buffer.
377	+
378	+	21. Property Editors now automatically include System Tables when opened and when the query table
379	+	is a System Table.
380	+
381	+	22. IBServices: SQRB and SRB buffers are now reset when service query throws an exception.
382	+	This avoids errors due to a stale SQRB or SRB being used for the next query.
383	+
384	+	23. IBServices: Service attach parameters now include "expected_db". This is used to
385	+	add the SPB item isc_spb_expected_db. This names a database using
386	+	an alternative Security Database (FB3 onwards) and allows (e.g. backup/restore) using such a
387	+	database. examples/services re-written to illustrate use of "expected_db".
388	+
389	+	24. IBServices: TIBControlAndQueryService.WriteNextChunk no longer ignores isc_info_svc_timeout.
390	+	This avoids truncated backups when the server returns a timeout (busy) response.
391	+
392	+	25. TIBDatabase: isc_dpb_page_size now supported as a database parameter when using TIBDatabase.CreateDatabase.
393	+
394	+	26. TIBDatabase: DatabaseName property may now be prefixed by $TEMP$ or $DATADIR$ for local
395	+	databasenames. These are respectively expanded to the local system's temp directory
396	+	(including trailing delimiter) or to a prescribed data directory (including
397	+	trailing delimiter). Under Unix systems the data directory is a hidden directory
398	+	in the user's home directory. The hidden directory name is either the string returned
