1. IBExtract: Identity columns - add additional check for null column for generator name. |

|
|
| 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 excuting a refresh query. |
| 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. |
| 75 |
|
15. TIBXScript: turn off database login prompt when reconnecting - this avoids prompting |
| 76 |
|
for password on reconnect. |
| 77 |
|
|
| 78 |
< |
16. IBDatabase: use IAttachment for connection default character set id, code page |
| 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. |
| 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 |

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. |

|
| 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 |

> |
a Create Database Statement generated by IBX. |
| 169 |

|
| 170 |
> |
40. All IBServices now have an additional published property "PortNo". This may |
| 171 |

| 172 |
> |
port number is used. |
| 173 |
> |
|
| 174 |
> |
41: TIBLookupComboeditBox: Ensure dataset updated when change selected with the keyboard |
| 175 |
> |
