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 |

|
75 |
> |
1. Remove need to check for IsMultiThread by providing access to GUI timers via |
76 |
> |
IBGUIInterface. Note: master/detail delay timer does not apply to console |
77 |
> |
mode apps. |
78 |
> |
|
79 |
> |
2. TIBCustomDataSet: SQLParser ignored if it does not contain a valid select |
80 |
> |
statement. This avoids problems if "Execute Block" is used as the Query. |
81 |
> |
|
82 |
> |
3. IBSQLParser now uses the common SQL tokeniser from fbintf. This replaces the |
83 |
> |
internal SQL tokeniser routines. |
84 |
> |
|
85 |
> |
4. IBSQLParser: new property NotaSelectStmt. Set to true if SQL fails to parse |
86 |
> |
as a select statement, with or without CTEs. |
87 |
> |
|
88 |
> |
5. IBSQLParser: parser now recognises the "ROWS" clause. |
89 |
> |
|
90 |
> |
6. TIBXScript now uses the common SQL tokeniser from fbintf. This replaces the |
91 |
> |
internal SQL tokeniser routines. |
92 |
> |
|
93 |
> |
7. Fix error in TIBXScript processing of "set" statements. This avoids exceptions |
94 |
> |
being raised for valid set statements processed by a data formatter. |
95 |
> |
|
96 |
> |
8. New published property for TIBDatabase and TIBXServicesConnection. This is |
97 |
> |
FirebirdLibraryPathName: string. If not empty it is used to explicitly specify |
98 |
> |
the path of the Firebird Library used by the database/services connection. |
99 |
> |
|
100 |
> |
9. New read only public property for TIBDatabase and TIBXServicesConnection. This |
101 |
> |
is FirebirdAPI and returns the IFirebirdAPI interface used by the database/ |
102 |
> |
services connection. |
103 |
> |
|
104 |
> |
10.SQL Property editors now quote parameter names if "Quote identifier" is selected |
105 |
> |
or param name is not a valid SQL identifier. |
106 |
> |
|
107 |
> |
11. IBLookupComboEditBox: In Lazarus 2.0, TDBLookupComboBox takes a more restrictive |
108 |
> |
view of whether the text box should be editable when no DataSource is specified. |
109 |
> |
TIBLookupComboEditBox has been updated to workaround this problem. As long as |
110 |
> |
ReadOnly is false, the text box is editable when no DataSource is specified. |
111 |
> |
|
112 |
> |
12. AllowUseOfFBLIB is now set to "true" at design time. This is to allow use of |
113 |
> |
the FBLIB environment variable. If you do not want to permit this then you |
114 |
> |
must modify the Register procedure in the design/IBDBReg.pas unit to remove |
115 |
> |
this setting. |

IMPORTANT: the source code tree has been re-organised for IBX 2.3. Please remove |
125 |
> |
all previous copies of the IBX source code tree before installing this release. |
126 |
> |
|
127 |
> |
The IBX packages used by most users have not changed, with one exception. The |
128 |
> |
IBServices unit has been moved to the package iblegacyServices.lpk. To continue |
129 |
> |
to use the IBServices unit in your applications, please add the iblegacyServices |
130 |
> |
to the list of dependencies. To do this, open the Project Inspector and select |
131 |
> |
Add->New Requirement and select "ibLegacyServices" from the list of available |
132 |
> |
packages. |
133 |
> |
|
134 |
> |
1. New unit IBXServices. The IBXServices unit is a re-architectured update of |
135 |
> |
the IBServices unit providing what is intended to be a clearer and easier to |
136 |
> |
use set of IB Services components. See Chapter 10 of the IBX User Guide for |
137 |
> |
more information and the guide to "Firebird Service Management Using IBX". |
138 |
> |
As indicated above, the legacy services components are still available and |
139 |
> |
provided in a separate package. There is no need to update working applications |
140 |
> |
using the older versions except for an additional package dependency. |
141 |
> |
|
142 |
> |
2. The IBX packages and source code tree have been re-organised in an attempt to |
143 |
> |
finally get rid of the "duplicate ppu" warnings. This re-organisation should |
144 |
> |
not affect existing users. Section 2.3 of the IBX User Guide describes the |
145 |
> |
new set of IBX packages. |
146 |
> |
|
147 |
> |
3. The ibx/examples/DBAdmin and the ibx/examples/services example have been |
148 |
> |
updated to use the new Services API components. |
149 |
> |
|
150 |
> |
4. The iblocal package has been updated to use the new Services API components. |
151 |
> |
|
152 |
> |
5. procedure SetAutoAdmin; in the new IBX Services this method is now a member of |
153 |
> |
TIBXSecurityService. It had been wrongly classified in the previous version |
154 |
> |
as a per database configuration item. It is global to a server and hence |
155 |
> |
correctly positioned as part of the Security Package. In the DBAdmin example, |
156 |
> |
the setting has moved to the mappings page. |
157 |
> |
|
158 |
> |
6. TIBXScript: IgnoreCreateDatabase added. If true then CREATE DATABASE statements |
159 |
> |
are ignored. |
160 |
> |
|
161 |
> |
7. TIBDatabase: DropDatabase now ensures that all transactions have been properly |
162 |
> |
closed before the database is dropped. Before and After Disconnect event handlers |
163 |
> |
are also fired. |
164 |
> |
|
165 |
> |
8. TIBTransaction: OnStartTransaction event now fires every time the transaction |
166 |
> |
is started and not just the first time. |
167 |
> |
|
168 |
> |
9. IBDataOutput: Use FormatFloat for all performance statistics to avoid platform |
169 |
> |
depenendency with comp type. |
170 |
> |
|
171 |
> |
10. IBDataOutput: select query data output is now sent to stdout instead of stderr. |
172 |
> |
|
173 |
> |
11. TIBDatabase: Remove regression. If a user login dialog changes the DatabaseName |
174 |
> |
then this is recognised and not ignored. |
175 |
> |
|
176 |
> |
12. TIBDataSet, TIBQuery, TIBTable: additions: |
177 |
> |
function GetRowsAffected(var SelectCount, InsertCount, UpdateCount, DeleteCount: integer): boolean; |
178 |
> |
function GetPerfStatistics(var stats: TPerfCounters): boolean; |
179 |
> |
property EnableStatistics: boolean read FEnableStatistics write SetEnableStatistics; |
180 |
> |
|
181 |
> |
GetRowsAffected returns the affected row counts from the last insert/update/delete |
182 |
> |
if EnableStatistics = true then GetPerfStatistics returns the current stats |
183 |
> |
counters for the select query. Note: stats accumulate after each fetch from |
184 |
> |
the database. To get total query cost after open, call the "Last" method |
185 |
> |
and then GetPerfStatistics. |
186 |
> |
|
187 |
> |
See ibx/examples/consolemode for an example of the use of GetPerfStatistics |
188 |
> |
|
189 |
> |
13. TIBExtract: Identity columns DDL. "Start with clause" now correctly encapsulated |
190 |
> |
in parenthesises. |
191 |
> |
|
192 |
> |
14. TIBExtract: new published property "AlwaysQuoteIdentifiers". If true then in dialect 3 |
193 |
> |
SQL identifiers are always delimited by double quotes. If false, then they are |
194 |
> |
only delimited if the identifier is a reserved word, contains lower case or special |
195 |
> |
characters. Set this property to true to retain previous behaviour. |
196 |
> |
|
197 |
> |
15. Insert SQL Property Editor. In Insert Returning Clause, Identity column names |
198 |
> |
are now inserted in double quotes if not Reserved Words or valid SQL Identifiers. |
199 |
> |
|
200 |
> |
16. TIBDataSet, TIBQuery, TIBTable: addition: |
201 |
> |
property MasterDetailDelay: integer {defaults to zero} |
202 |
> |
|
203 |
> |
When non-zero and the dataset is a detail table referencing a master table |
204 |
> |
through either a MasterSource (TIBTable) or a DataSource (TIBDataSet, TIBQuery) |
205 |
> |
then a synchronisation delay is added (in milliseconds) between the master |
206 |
> |
row changing and the detail dataset being re-opened. If the master dataset |
207 |
> |
is scrolled before the delay expires then the delay is reset. This can be used |
208 |
> |
to avoid performance overheads when scrolling through a large master dataset. |
209 |
> |
|
210 |
> |
Note: uses fptimer and hence requires a thread manager. Under Linux the |
211 |
> |
chreads unit must be included in your project. TTimer is not used in order |
212 |
> |
to avoid an LCL dependency. Requires FPC 3.0.2 or later. |
213 |
> |
|
214 |
> |
17. TIBExtract: User role grants now excluded when etGrantsToUser not specified |
215 |
> |
with Extract Option eoDatabase. |
216 |
> |
|
217 |
> |
18. TIBLookupComboEditBox: Workaround added for https://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=33428 |
218 |
> |
When a deLayoutChanged event is reported on the ListSource dataset, the |
219 |
> |
combobox text is updated. This allows a listsource (detail) to be in a Master/Detail |
220 |
> |
relationship with the control's datasource (master). |
221 |
> |
|
222 |
> |
19. TIBExtract: Full BigInt value range now supported for Generators/Sequences. |
223 |
> |
|
224 |
> |
20. TIBExtract: Select Procedures (Procedure type 1) now include "SUSPEND;" clause in their |
225 |
> |
stubs. Pedantic fix really, as procedures output in dependency order anyway. |
226 |
> |
|
227 |
> |
21. TIBExtract: Package Headers and Package Bodies are now included in the extracted |
228 |
> |
DDL (Firebird 3 and later only). |
229 |
> |
|
230 |
> |
22. TIBLookupComboBox Autocomplete Fixes: |
231 |
> |
i. Only appended text is now selected after autocomplete. |
232 |
> |
ii. Uppercase keys no longer ignored for autocomplete. |
233 |
> |
iii. Retain Prefix case is now honoured correctly. |
234 |
> |
iv. When a DataSource is assigned, typing after autocomplete now extends prefix |
235 |
> |
before autocomplete performed. i.e. behaviour now the same as when |
236 |
> |
no DataSource assigned. |
237 |
> |
|
238 |
> |
23. TIBXScript: Single Line Comments starting with '--' are now ignored when occurring |
239 |
> |
between SQL statements. |
240 |
> |
|
241 |
> |
24. TIBExtract: New published property CaseSensitiveObjectNames. If false (default) then |
242 |
> |
ObjectNames are converted to upper case before matching against metadata object |
243 |
> |
names, unless the objectname is delimited by double quotes, in which case, the |
244 |
> |
double quotes are removed and the remaining string is used (unmodified) to match |
245 |
> |
against the metadata object name. |
246 |
> |
|
247 |
> |
If true then the ObjectName is used as is without modification and matched |
248 |
> |
against the metadata object name. No attempt is made to remove double quotes. |
249 |
> |
|
250 |
> |
25. TIBExtract: New Extract Types: etDatabaseTriggers and etDDLTriggers. When used |
251 |
> |
with eoTrigger, these extract types can be used to select only Database Triggers, |
252 |
> |
or DDL Triggers or both. Ignored when etTable or etTrigger included in Extract Types. |
253 |
> |
|
254 |
> |
26. TIBXScript: If an exception occurs during the processing of a statement, the |
255 |
> |
statement separate character is now reset to the default (';'). |
256 |
> |
|
257 |
> |
27. TIBDatabase: Reconnect method added and used by TIBXScript for reconnect. |
258 |
> |
|
259 |
> |
28. TIBXScript: Transaction is no longer automatically reactivated immediately processing |
260 |
> |
a commit or reconnect statement and instead activated only when next SQL statement |
261 |
> |
is executed. |
262 |
> |
|
263 |
> |
29. TIBSQL.HasField should no longer generate and exception when the field does not exist. |
264 |
> |
|
265 |
> |
30. TIBXScript: case insensitive regex now used when matching statements instead of |
266 |
> |
converting statement to upper case. |
267 |
> |
|
268 |
> |
31. TIBExtract: metadata comments now supported. New published property |
269 |
> |
IncludeMetaDataComments (default true). If true then metadata comments included |
270 |
> |
in extracted DDL. New Extract Object member eoComments. This may be used with |
271 |
> |
ExtractObject method to list all metadata comments. |
272 |
> |
|
273 |
> |
32. TIBExtract: ListObjectNames method added. |
274 |
> |
|
275 |
> |
33. Updated Database component editor to support additional connection string |
276 |
> |
types. |

NOTE: THE LOCATIONS OF SOME OF THE UNIT DIRECTORIES HAS CHANGED FROM IBX 2.1. THIS IS TO |
281 |
> |
AVOID DUPLICATE PPU WARNINGS. PLEASE REMOVE EARLIER VERSIONS OF IBX BEFORE INSTALLING THIS |
282 |
> |
RELEASE. |
283 |
> |
|
284 |
> |
NOTE: THE DBADMIN DEMO REQUIRES THAT THE MemDSLaz PACKAGE IS INSTALLED IN THE LAZARUS IDE. |
285 |
|
|
286 |
|
1. IBExtract: Identity columns - add additional check for null column for generator name. |
287 |
|
|
298 |
|
a returning clause that updates one or more fields on the current row. A full row |
299 |
|
refresh is only performed if (a) ForcedRefresh is true or (b) the query does not return any |
300 |
|
field values and the select query contains read only fields. Use of Insert/update |
301 |
< |
returning should be significantly more efficient than excuting a refresh query. |
301 |
> |
returning should be significantly more efficient than executing a refresh query. |
302 |
|
|
303 |
|
This behaviour change is intended to be backwards compatible and there should be no need to change |
304 |
|
existing programs, other than to improve performance by using the new capability. |
305 |
|
|
306 |
< |
3. TIBTable: generated Insert and Update SQL now include a RETURNING clause for |
306 |
> |
3. IBCustomDataSet: DELETE...RETURNING queries are now also recognised. However, as |
307 |
> |
they are called when the dataset row is being deleted, there is no value in |
308 |
> |
updating the current record from the query result. Instead, a new event handler |
309 |
> |
"OnDeleteReturning" is provided. If a DELETE...RETURNING query is execute and |
310 |
> |
an OnDeleteReturning event handler is provided then it is called with the IResults returned |
311 |
> |
by the query. The event handler can then interrogate the query results and |
312 |
> |
perform whatever action is necessary. For example to confirm, to the user, |
313 |
> |
the deletion of a row with the returned values. |
314 |
> |
|
315 |
> |
4. TIBTable: generated Insert and Update SQL now include a RETURNING clause for |
316 |
|
any Computed By or Identity Columns. The IBTables example has been updated to |
317 |
|
illustrate the computation of the employee Full Name on update. |
318 |
|
|
319 |
< |
4. TIBTable: The GeneratorField property is now published. |
319 |
> |
5. TIBTable: The GeneratorField property is now published. |
320 |
|
|
321 |
< |
5. The InsertSQL property editor now shows Firebird 3 Identity columns separate from the Field List. |
321 |
> |
6. The InsertSQL property editor now shows Firebird 3 Identity columns separate from the Field List. |
322 |
|
When InsertSQL is generated, the Identity columns are not included in the list of values to |
323 |
|
be inserted. A RETURNING clause is added to the insert statement to return the value of |
324 |
|
each Identity column after the insert is executed. |
325 |
|
|
326 |
< |
6. The Modify Property Editor now generates Update SQL with Computed By fields in Update..Returning clause. |
326 |
> |
7. The Modify Property Editor now generates Update SQL with Computed By fields in Update..Returning clause. |
327 |
|
Similarly Insert Property Editor now generates Insert SQL with Computed By fields in |
328 |
|
Insert..Returning clause. |

12. Property Editors handling of Stored Procedures. |
343 |
|
* Select and Refresh: only show a list of stored procedures that return multiple rows (proc type 1) and |
344 |
|
which have a non-empty list of output parameters (i.e. stored procedures that may be used in a select |
345 |
|
query). |
346 |
|
* Modify and Insert: only show a list of stored procedures that return at most a singleton row (proc type 2). |

13. IBStoredProc: Now supports Firebird 3 Package Names. A new published property PackageName |
349 |
|
can be used to select a package. If non-empty, the stored procedure name is |
350 |
|
expected to be a stored procedure defined in the specified package and the |
351 |
|
generated SQL will be as required for a stored procedure located in a package. |

16. TIBDatabase: use IAttachment for connection default character set id, code page |
362 |
+ |
and character set name. |
363 |
+ |
|
364 |
+ |
17. TIBDatabaseInfo: cache ODS Version information on first request in order to minimise |
365 |
+ |
DB info lookups" |
366 |
+ |
|
367 |
+ |
18. IBExtract: now supports DDL Triggers and Grants to DDL objects. |
368 |
+ |
|
369 |
+ |
19. Add a property Editor for TIBUpdate.RefreshSQL. |
370 |
+ |
|
371 |
+ |
20. IBUpdate: Ignore non-data (e.g. calculated) fields when assembling list of input |
372 |
+ |
parameters. This stops an exception being raised when the field cannot be |
373 |
+ |
located in the record buffer. |
374 |
+ |
|
375 |
+ |
21. Property Editors now automatically include System Tables when opened and when the query table |
376 |
+ |
is a System Table. |
377 |
+ |
|
378 |
+ |
22. IBServices: SQRB and SRB buffers are now reset when service query throws an exception. |
379 |
+ |
This avoids errors due to a stale SQRB or SRB being used for the next query. |
380 |
+ |
|
381 |
+ |
23. IBServices: Service attach parameters now include "expected_db". This is used to |
382 |
+ |
add the SPB item isc_spb_expected_db. This names a database using |
383 |
+ |
an alternative Security Database (FB3 onwards) and allows (e.g. backup/restore) using such a |
384 |
+ |
database. examples/services re-written to illustrate use of "expected_db". |
385 |
+ |
|
386 |
+ |
24. IBServices: TIBControlAndQueryService.WriteNextChunk no longer ignores isc_info_svc_timeout. |
387 |
+ |
This avoids truncated backups when the server returns a timeout (busy) response. |
388 |
+ |
|
389 |
+ |
25. TIBDatabase: isc_dpb_page_size now supported as a database parameter when using TIBDatabase.CreateDatabase. |
390 |
+ |
|
391 |
+ |
26. TIBDatabase: DatabaseName property may now be prefixed by $TEMP$ or $DATADIR$ for local |
392 |
+ |
databasenames. These are respectively expanded to the local system's temp directory |
393 |
+ |
(including trailing delimiter) or to a prescribed data directory (including |
394 |
+ |
trailing delimiter). Under Unix systems the data directory is a hidden directory |
395 |
+ |
in the user's home directory. The hidden directory name is either the string returned |
396 |
+ |
from the SysUtils "Vendor Name" or "IBX" if empty. In either case prefixed by a '.'. |
397 |
+ |
Under Windows, the directory is the same as the Data Directory as decribed |
398 |
+ |
above but instead prefixed by the User's application data path. These may be |
399 |
+ |
used to improve application portability for Personal Databases. |
400 |
+ |
|
401 |
+ |
27. TIBTable: FieldDefs property is no longer published. Due to the use of TIBFieldDef |
402 |
+ |
this has not worked for a long time and is not useful either. FieldDefs should be |
403 |
+ |
managed using the Fields Editor as with any other dataset. To access the fields |
404 |
+ |
editor for a TIBTable component, double click on the component. The fields editor |
405 |
+ |
is then displayed. |
406 |
+ |
|
407 |
+ |
28. TIBDatabaseInfo: new properties/function |
408 |
+ |
* DateDBCreated (returns date/time database created) |
409 |
+ |
* TransactionCount (returns no. of active transactions) |
410 |
+ |
* GetDatabasePage(PageNo: integer) (returns contents of specified database page - SYSDBA only). |
411 |
+ |
* PagesFree (Firebird 3 or later) |
412 |
+ |
* PagesUsed (Firebird 3 or later) |
413 |
+ |
* Encrypted (returns true if database encrypted. (Firebird 3.0.3 or later only) |
414 |
+ |
* EncryptionKeyName (returns the name of the encryption key if any (Firebird 3.0.3 or later only) |
415 |
+ |
|
416 |
+ |
29. IBServices classes now provided the decoded release number in the (array) property ServerVersionNo. |
417 |
+ |
|
418 |
+ |
30. TIBSecurityService now supports display/modification of the User Admin Role (Firebird 2.5 and later). |
419 |
+ |
|
420 |
+ |
31. TIBConfigService now has a procedure SetAutoAdmin(Value: boolean) to enable/disable |
421 |
+ |
the automtic mapping of privileged OS users to the RDB$ADMIN role (Firebird 2.5 and later). |
422 |
+ |
|
423 |
+ |
32. TIBBackupService: New Option - NoDBTriggers equivalent to -nodbtriggers switch introduced |
424 |
+ |
in the gbak utility at V.2.1 to prevent database-level and transaction-level triggers from |
425 |
+ |
firing during backup and restore. |
426 |
+ |
|
427 |
+ |
33. Both TIBBackupService and TIBRestoreService now support backup/restore statistics options |
428 |
+ |
for verbose output using the new property "StatisticsRequested". |
429 |
+ |

430 |
+ |
|
431 |
+ |
34. TIBRestoreService: now supports new options RestoreMetaDataOnly (Firebird 2.5 and later). |
432 |
+ |
|
433 |
+ |
35. TIBOnlineValidationService component added to the IBServices and the "Firebird Admin" |
434 |
+ |
palette. This uses the online validation feature added in Firebird 2.5. The |
435 |
+ |
services's properties enable inclusion/exclusion of tables and indexes using |
436 |
+ |
regular expressions. See. |

438 |
+ |
|
439 |
+ |
36. IBServices: procedure TIBConfigService.SetNoLinger added to set no linger |
440 |
+ |
option on a database. |
441 |
+ |
|
442 |
+ |
37. TIBCustomService: Assign method implemented to allow copying of service login |
443 |
+ |
context between service API components. "Detach" method now only detaches |
444 |
+ |
service when last reference to the service interface detaches. Tidy up of |
445 |
+ |
code for SetActive and Attach methods including password hiding. |
446 |
+ |
|
447 |
+ |
38. TIBDatabase: new properties: AuthenticationMethod and RemoteProtocol. Read only |
448 |
+ |
and used to determine the auth method and protocol used for the connection. |
449 |
+ |
|
450 |
+ |
39. TIBDatabase: ensure that SQLDialect setting is used when creating a database using |
451 |
+ |
a Create Database Statement generated by IBX. |
452 |
+ |
|
453 |
+ |
40. All IBServices now have an additional published property "PortNo". This may |
454 |
+ |
be set to a non-standard port number when necessary. If zero then the default |
455 |
+ |
port number is used. |
456 |
+ |
|
457 |
+ |
41: TIBLookupComboeditBox: Ensure dataset updated when change selected with the keyboard |
458 |
+ |
and not just the mouse. |
459 |
+ |
|
460 |
+ |
42. TIBCustomDataset: reopen query if already active when a TIBControlLink is added. |
461 |
+ |
|
462 |
+ |
43. TIBTreeview: new ImageIndexField and SelectedIndexField Property allows the |
463 |
+ |
image index and selected image index for each node to be set from a database field. |
464 |
+ |
|
465 |
+ |
44. TIBExtract: new extract type (etGrantsToUser) for use with eoDatabase. If included |
466 |
+ |
then database schema includes grants to all users. If not present then the |
467 |
+ |
only user grants included are those to User PUBLIC. |
468 |
+ |
|
469 |
+ |
45. TIBTreeView: performance improvement. When expanding include both expanded node |
470 |
+ |
and child nodes in dataset. |
