< |
1. IBExtract: Identity columns - add addition check for null column for generator name. |
3 |
> |
1. Add try-..except check when initially loading library in IDE. This should |
4 |
> |
ensure that IDE continues to load even when a failure occurs in IBX load |
5 |
> |
library. |
6 |
> |
|
7 |
> |
2. IBXScript: now recognises a CASE...END block within a stored procedure and |
8 |
> |
hence will correctly detect end of the outer containing block when the block |
9 |
> |
contains a SELECT ... CASE ... END construct. |
10 |
> |
|
11 |
> |
3. IBExtract: some further tidying up to remove extraneous white space. |

|
15 |
> |
1. TIBDatabaseInfo: review and tidy-up of property types. Most widen to int64 with the |
16 |
> |
exception of those defined to be one byte wide e.g. DBImplementationNo. |
17 |
> |
|
18 |
> |
2. TIBSQL: Batch Update/Insert support added. |
19 |
> |
|
20 |
> |
3. TIBStoredProc: when generating the SQL, the value of the StoredProcName property |
21 |
> |
is no longer automatically converted to upper case when it is syntactically a |
22 |
> |
SQL Identifier. This is to support the use of stored procedures defined e.g. |
23 |
> |
as CREATE PROCEDURE "iCASE". |
24 |
> |
|
25 |
> |
There could be a backwards compatibility issue when the StoredProcName was entered |
26 |
> |
manually at design time. That is not selected from the drop down list. If the |
27 |
> |
StoredProcName is entered in mixed case and the procedure was declared e.g. as |
28 |
> |
CREATE PROCEDURE iCASE, then the SQL generation will be incorrect. You should |
29 |
> |
ensure that the value of the StoredProcName is all upper case, unless it was |
30 |
> |
declared under dialect 3 and explicitly as mixed case (i.e. delimited by double |
31 |
> |
quotes). |
32 |
> |
|
33 |
> |
Note that when a stored procedure name was declared delimited in double quotes, |
34 |
> |
as in the first example above, the value of the StoredProcName property must not |
35 |
> |
include the delimiters (double quotes). |
36 |
> |
|
37 |
> |
4. IBXUpgradeConfFile: an exception is now raised if a patch file specified in |
38 |
> |
upgrade.conf was not found. This replaces silently ignoring the problem. |
39 |
> |
|
40 |
> |
5. TIBLocalDBSupport: new property "SectionHeaderTemplate". This defaults to |
41 |
> |
'Version.%.3d' and is used to generate the section header names (for a given |
42 |
> |
version no.) in the upgrade.conf file. |

IBX Change Log version (2.4-0 Build 12543) Mon, 22 Feb 2021 11:00:08 +0000 |
50 |
> |
|
51 |
> |
1. Firebird 4 support added. |
52 |
> |
|
53 |
> |
2. New FB4 data types TIME WITH TIME ZONE, TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE, DECFLOAT and |
54 |
> |
extended precision NUMERIC fields are supported. |
55 |
> |
|
56 |
> |
3. TFmtBCDField is used to support access to DECFLOAT and extended precision NUMERIC fields. |
57 |
> |
|
58 |
> |
4. TIBDateTimeField and TIBTimeField are introduced in support of TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE |
59 |
> |
and TIME WITH TIME ZONE fields. These inherit from TDateTimeField. |
60 |
> |
|
61 |
> |
5. IBExtract now supports FB4 enhancements: |
62 |
> |
- new data types as above |
63 |
> |
- Identity column extensions |
64 |
> |
- Default user role |
65 |
> |
- SQL Security clause for Database, Tables, Procedures, Functions and Triggers |
66 |
> |
- Internal Functions |
67 |
> |
|
68 |
> |
6. IBExtract: new event: OnExtractLines. |
69 |
> |
|
70 |
> |
7. IBExtract: revert create trigger to legacy syntax see Firebird CORE-6243, CORE-5545 and DOC-145 |
71 |
> |
|
72 |
> |
8. IBXServices: Server version no. parsing now allows any letter before major version number |
73 |
> |
and is no longer restricted to 'V' e.g. "LI-T4.0.0.1436 Firebird 4.0 Beta 1" |
74 |
> |
|
75 |
> |
9. TIBDataSet and TIBQuery: new property TZTextOption. Used to determine the default |
76 |
> |
format for rendering a time zone. |
77 |
> |
|
78 |
> |
10. TIBDataSet and TIBQuery: new property DefaultTZDate. Used to provide the default date |
79 |
> |
to convert TIME WITH TIME ZONE data type values to and from GMT. |
80 |
> |
|
81 |
> |
11. Unit name IBTypes changed to IBInternals. Internal interfaces TIBGUIInterface and TIBTimerInf renamed to |
82 |
> |
IIBGUIInterface and IIBTimerInf respectively. |
83 |
> |
|
84 |
> |
12. Constants: DPBPrefix and TPBPrefix moved to IB unit. DPBConstantNames and TPBConstantNames |
85 |
> |
now accessible as properties of TIBDatabase and TIBTransaction respectively. |
86 |
> |
|
87 |
> |
13. String Fields: when a fixed character with (CHAR) field is returned, it is now |
88 |
> |
truncated to its fixed character width rather than being right padded with |
89 |
> |
white space to the maximum data size. |
90 |
> |
|
91 |
> |
14. TIBTable.Empty table. In additional to deleting all records in the underlying |
92 |
> |
table, the internal buffers are now also flushed ensuring that the TIBTable is |
93 |
> |
also empty. |
94 |
> |
|
95 |
> |
15. TBatchSQLStatementReader: Line buffer is now cleared on call to reset. |
96 |
> |
|
97 |
> |
16. TIBXControlService descendents: DatabaseName may now be set using a database |
98 |
> |
connect string. The database name is extracted from the connect string. |
99 |
> |
|
100 |
> |
17. DBControlGrid: Minor bug fixes. avoid AV on form closure, avoid black panel |
101 |
> |
|
102 |
> |
18. TIBExtract: Data type of COMPUTED By columns is no longer included in SQL. |
103 |
> |
|
104 |
> |
19. Local database on Linux and with legacy API and FB 2.5 embedded server: fixed problem with password |
105 |
> |
not being present as required. |
106 |
> |
|
107 |
> |
20. IBTreeView split into DBTreeView and IBTreeView. This former is an IBX indepedent |
108 |
> |
version that can be customised to work with other database drivers. |
109 |
> |
|
110 |
> |
21. ISQLMonitor: use platform specific LineEnding to delimit messages. Avoids |
111 |
> |
unnecessary CR at end of line on Unix platforms. |
112 |
> |
|
113 |
> |
22. ISQLMonitor: Unix: Default semaphore timeout increased from 1 second to 10 |
114 |
> |
seconds in order to reduce risk of message loss. |
115 |
> |
|
116 |
> |
23. ISQLMonitor: read and write count statistics now available via: |
117 |
> |
property TIBSQLMonitor.ReadCount; |
118 |
> |
IIBSQLMonitorHook.GetWriteCount: integer; |
119 |
> |
|
120 |
> |
24. ISQLMonitor tidy up and unit split. IPC functions moved to new unit IBIPC. |

IBX Change Log version (2.3-5 Build 12350) Tue, 25 Aug 2020 16:11:02 +0100 |
123 |
> |
|
124 |
> |
1. TIBStringField: when a string value is read from a dataset buffer, if the |
125 |
> |
number of UTF8 characters exceeds the string size then string is truncated |
126 |
> |
to the maximum string size. This is usually a problem with fixed width columns |
127 |
> |
right padded with white space. |
128 |
> |
|
129 |
> |
2. SQLFiltered and SQLFilterParams added to TIBQuery, TIBTable and TIBDataset. |
130 |
> |
If SQLFiltered is set then when a dataset is opened, each line in the |
131 |
> |
SQLFilterParams property is assumed to be a SQL condition clause and |
132 |
> |
ANDed into the Where clause of the SQL Select statement provided as a |
133 |
> |
dataset property. Each such SQL condition thus acts as an additional filter |
134 |
> |
on the dataset. |
135 |
> |
|
136 |
> |
3. The Filtered property inherited from TDataset is no longer used for SQL (server |
137 |
> |
side filters). |
138 |
> |
|
139 |
> |
4. IBLookupComboEditBox: Selection should no longer reset to start of text when |
140 |
> |
text matches complete entry. |
141 |
> |
|
142 |
> |
5. TIBDataLink: Detail Dataset params not refreshed unless both master and detail |
143 |
> |
dataset are active (avoids risk of access violation if master is inactive) |
144 |
> |
|
145 |
> |
6. TIBEvents: Registered property can now be set at design time even if database not open |
146 |
> |
|
147 |
> |
7. TIBEvents: component now correctly re-initialised after call to UnregisterEvents. |
148 |
> |
This should prevent "spillover" of events between sessions. |
149 |
> |
|
150 |
> |
8. TIBCustomDataset: GetNextRecord now called when reseting to first record of a unidirectional dataset. |
151 |
> |
This should ensure that the internal buffer is set up correctly and avoids |
152 |
> |
a duplicate initial row. |
153 |
> |
|
154 |
> |
9. TIBStringField: DataSize now given as byte size of string less trailing any zero character. |
155 |
> |
That is, the DataSize should be the field size * character set width. The |
156 |
> |
value returned by DataSize is now the same as the Dataset buffer size reserved |
157 |
> |
for the field. |
158 |
> |
|
159 |
> |
10. IBExtract: Tidyup of SQL generation. Avoid unnecessary double quotes. |
160 |
> |
|
161 |
> |
11. TIBCustomDataset: Add checks on buffer sizes when copying data from row to field buffer |
162 |
> |
and vice-versa. This may result in an exception being raised (correctly) for |
163 |
> |
older programs when using dataset fields added to a form and the database has been |
164 |
> |
upgraded. For example, computed fields can change from 32-bit to 64-bit integers. |
165 |
> |
In such cases, the field needs to be deleted in the IDE fields editor and then |
166 |
> |
added back in. |
167 |
> |
|
168 |
> |
12. IBCustomDataSet: CanInsert, CanEdit, CanDelete and CanRefresh updated to return |
169 |
> |
false if query contains only white space and not just empty. |
170 |
> |
|
171 |
> |
12. IBCustomDataset: Blob data is now cleared when TDataSet.Cancel is called. This |
172 |
> |
should ensure that (e.g.) a TDBMemo is correctly refreshed after a dataset edit |
173 |
> |
is cancelled. |
174 |
> |
|
175 |
> |
13. IBCustomDataset: SetArrayIntf should no longer cause an access violation if |
176 |
> |
called on a null field. |
177 |
> |
|
178 |
> |
14. IBCustomDataSet: An access violation should no longer occur when calling CancelUpdates |
179 |
> |
results in an empty dataTC86 Client side Filtered Dataset 1 X |
180 |
> |
set. |
181 |
> |
|
182 |
> |
15. IBCustomDataSet: OnUpdateError should now be called in all circumstances when |
183 |
> |
a cached update is applied and an exception is raised. |
184 |
> |
|
185 |
> |
16. IBCustomDataSet: Avoid access violation when SetBookmarkData called with nil pointer. |
186 |
> |
|
187 |
> |
17. Console Mode Local Database support: backup/restore should now work correctly. |
188 |
> |
|
189 |
> |
18. Local Database Support: if an upgrade fails, a downgrade is now performed if |
190 |
> |
possible and an exception raised. |
191 |
> |
|
192 |
> |
19. MinimumVersionNo added to Local Database Support. Database will not open if |
193 |
> |
below this version no. and upgrade not possible. |
194 |

|
197 |
> |
1. TIBXDataSet and Generators: Generator Names that are not all upper case or |
198 |
> |
not SQL Identifiers are now supported. |
199 |
> |
|
200 |
> |
2. TIBXScript: Set Generator is no longer rejected as unrecognised SQL and is |
201 |
> |
passed to the Firebird engine for execution. |
202 |
> |
|
203 |
> |
3. TIBDataSet: Unidirectional datasets now give an error message if an attempt |
204 |
> |
is made to scroll back. |
205 |
> |
|
206 |
> |
4. New unit: IBMessages.pas. Contains only messages used by IBX and not FBIntf |
207 |
> |
|
208 |
> |
5. TIBLookupComboEditBox: When generating auto-complete SQL, the ListField is now |
209 |
> |
only enclosed in double quotes in SQL dialect 3 and when it needs to be. |
210 |
> |
|
211 |
> |
6. TIBLookupComboEditBox: when the list source opens, the ListField name is now |
212 |
> |
validated. If no match is found in the list of field names and the database has |
213 |
> |
been opened in SQL Dialect 3, then the ListField Name is converted to upper case |
214 |
> |
if it then matches a field name. Otherwise, a Listfield not valid exception occurs. |
215 |
> |
|
216 |
> |
7. IBGeneratoreditor.pas: Add missing parenthesis around "IS" statement for compliance |
217 |
> |
with fpc 3.2. |
218 |

1. New property for TIBDatabase and TIBXServicesConnection. This is "ConfigOverrides" |
223 |
> |
and is used to override the default settings in the client side "firebird.conf" This |
224 |
> |
includes "WireCompression" and "WireCrypt". The value of this property is a "TStrings". |
225 |
> |
Each line of the string list should be a setting in the same format as "firebird.conf". |
226 |
> |
For example "WireCompression = true" in order to request wire compression on the client side. |
227 |
> |
|
228 |
> |
Note: explicit settings in the client side "firebird.conf" appear to take precedence |
229 |
> |
over settings given in TIBDatabase and TIBXServicesConnection. Many client side settings |
230 |
> |
also require a compatible setting in the server side "firebird.conf". For example |
231 |
> |
"WireCompression = true" must also be set in the server's "firebird.conf" for wire |
232 |
> |
compression to be used. |
233 |
> |
|
234 |
> |
Whether or not WireCompression or WireCrypt are in use can be checked using the information |
235 |
> |
returned with the Client/Server protocol version. See ibx/examples/dbadmin and |
236 |
> |
ibx/examples/dbinfo for examples of how to display this information. |
237 |
> |
|
238 |
> |
2. New property for TIBDatabase and TIBXServicesConnection: "WireCompression". This |
239 |
> |
is a "convenience" property. If set the "WireCompression=true" is added to the |
240 |
> |
ConfigOverrides. If unchecked then this setting is removed. |
241 |
> |
|
242 |
> |
3. TIBExtract: 64-bit integer types are now correctly extracted as "BIGINT" and |
243 |
> |
not "INT64". |
244 |
> |
|
245 |
> |
4. New published properties for TIBCSVDataOut, TIBInsertStmtsOut and TIBBlockFormatOut |
246 |
> |
These are: |
247 |
> |
property TimestampFormat: string; |
248 |
> |
property DateFormat: string; |
249 |
> |
property TimeFormat: string; |
250 |
> |
|
251 |
> |
Respectively, these provide the date time format templates for SQL types: TIMESTAMP, |
252 |
> |
DATETIME and TIME. The format strings use the standard FPC date/time format |
253 |
> |
characters (see https://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/rtl/sysutils/formatchars.html). |
254 |
> |
|
255 |
> |
If any of the above properties are set to an empty string, then the locale default |
256 |
> |
is used. This uses the ShortDateFormat and the LongTimeFormat. In timestamp, the |
257 |
> |
locale default is extended by appending '.zzz' to include milliseconds. |
258 |
> |
|
259 |
> |
TIBCSVDataOut by default sets these properties to the empty string, while the other |
260 |
> |
two use: 'yyyy.mm.dd hh:nn:ss.zzz', 'yyyy.mm.dd' and 'hh:nn:ss.zzz' respectively. |
261 |
> |
|
262 |
> |
5. New published property for TIBCSVDataOut: |
263 |
> |
property QuoteStrings: boolean (default true) |
264 |
> |
|
265 |
> |
If false then strings are unquoted, otherwise, the QuoteChar property value is |
266 |
> |
used to delimit each and every string in the output. |
267 |
> |
|
268 |
> |
6. New published properties for TIBCSVDataOut: |
269 |
> |
property FieldSeparator: string; |
270 |
> |
property HeaderSeparator: string; |
271 |
> |
|
272 |
> |
Respectively, these provide the separator character(s) used to separate fields |
273 |
> |
in data and header rows. Both default to ','. |
274 |
> |
|
275 |
> |
7. New published properties for TIBCSVDataOut and TIBBlockFormatOut: |
276 |
> |
TOnFormatTextString = procedure(sender: TObject; var TextString: string) of object; |
277 |
> |
property OnFormatTextString; |
278 |
> |
|
279 |
> |
This event handler can be used to process text strings before they are included |
280 |
> |
in the output e.g. to replace unprintable characters with alternative strings. |
281 |
> |
This only applies to columns with an SQL Type of SQL_VARYING and SQL_TEXT. |
282 |
> |
|
283 |
> |
8. TIBDataSet now raises an exception when ParamByName called with an invalid parameter name. |
284 |
> |
Uses "FindParam" if in order to find out if a parameter with a given name exists |
285 |
> |
and without raising and exception if it does not. |
286 |
> |
|
287 |
> |
9. TIBQuery now uses IBX SQL Parser instead of the TParams SQL parser in order to ensure |
288 |
> |
consistency with SQL queries. |
289 |
> |
|
290 |
> |
10. CaseSensitiveParameterNames property added to TIBSQL, TIBDataSet and TIBQuery. |
291 |
> |
When true, SQL statement parameter names are parsed case sensitive. Note for |
292 |
> |
TIBDataSet only applies to Select query. |
293 |
> |
|
294 |
> |
11. IBEvents: removing a TIBEvent component from a form should no longer result in |
295 |
> |
an IDE exception. |
296 |
> |
|
297 |
> |
12. LocalDBSupport: initial database creation should now work correctly |
298 |
> |
when the schema source is an sql file. |
299 |
> |
|
300 |
> |
13. TIBCMLocalDBSupport: new event handler "property OnProgressEvent: TOnProgressEvent" |
301 |
> |
when defined, this handler will be called by the internal TIBXScript during |
302 |
> |
initial database creation when the schema source is an sql file and may be used |
303 |
> |
to provide a visual indication of progress in console mode. |
304 |
> |
|
305 |
> |
14. TCustomIBLocalDBSupport: new public property "InOnCreateDB: boolean". This is set |
306 |
> |
to true while a new local database is being created and its schema populated. |
307 |
> |
Useful in (e.g.) TIBDatabase.OnAfterConnect handler to suppress actions |
308 |
> |
when the database is disconnected/connected during the create DB procedure. |
309 |
> |
|
310 |
> |
15. TIBXScript: any User/password parameters found in a CREATE DATABASE statement |
311 |
> |
are now always ignored and replaced by the user name and password provided as |
312 |
> |
the login parameters for the TIBDatabase referenced from the TIBXScript. The |
313 |
> |
IgnoreCreateDatabase property still applies and the CREATE DATABASE statement is |
314 |
> |
completely ignored if this property is true. |
315 |
> |
|
316 |
> |
16. Code tidyup in IBTreeView: Node properties initialisation moved from TIBTreeView.AddNodes |
317 |
> |
to TIBTreeView.Added. An OnAddition event handler is no longer needed to initialise |
318 |
> |
ImageIndex and SelectImageIndex values on AddNode. |
319 |
> |
|
320 |
> |
17. TIBDatabase.Attachment and TIBXServicesConnection.ServicesIntf properties are now |
321 |
> |
read/write. This should enabled (e.g.) multiple instances of TIBDatabase to share |
322 |
> |
the same database connection. |
323 |
> |
|
324 |
> |
18. TIBDataSet and TIBQuery now support the TDataSet "Filter" property. |

if provided, this should be an conditional SQL expression suitable for |
326 |

including in an SQL Select statement "where" clause. If non-empty and the |
327 |
> |
"Filtered" property is true then the SQL expression provided as the value of |
328 |

the "Filter" property is "ANDed" with any existing condition statement |
329 |

in the SQL statement's "Where" clause. |
330 |

|
331 |
> |
If the "Filter" property is set at run time, the "Filtered" property is true |
332 |
> |
and the dataset is already open, then the dataset is closed and re-opened automatically. |
333 |
> |
|
334 |
> |
The "Filter" condition may include IBX style parameters. In which case, their |
335 |

value must be set by the dataset's "OnBeforeOpen" event handler. |

This is a public property for TIBDataSet and TIBQuery query and intended for |
338 |

use at run time. |
339 |

is unaffected by this change. |

IBX Change Log version (2.3-2) Wed, 05 Dec 2018 12:19:23 +0000 |
344 |
> |
|
345 |
> |
1. Remove need to check for IsMultiThread by providing access to GUI timers via |
346 |
> |
IBGUIInterface. Note: master/detail delay timer does not apply to console |
347 |
> |
mode apps. |
348 |
> |
|
349 |
> |
2. TIBCustomDataSet: SQLParser ignored if it does not contain a valid select |
350 |
> |
statement. This avoids problems if "Execute Block" is used as the Query. |
351 |
> |
|
352 |
> |
3. IBSQLParser now uses the common SQL tokeniser from fbintf. This replaces the |
353 |
> |
internal SQL tokeniser routines. |
354 |
> |
|
355 |
> |
4. IBSQLParser: new property NotaSelectStmt. Set to true if SQL fails to parse |
356 |
> |
as a select statement, with or without CTEs. |
357 |
> |
|
358 |
> |
5. IBSQLParser: parser now recognises the "ROWS" clause. |
359 |
> |
|
360 |
> |
6. TIBXScript now uses the common SQL tokeniser from fbintf. This replaces the |
361 |
> |
internal SQL tokeniser routines. |
362 |
> |
|
363 |
> |
7. Fix error in TIBXScript processing of "set" statements. This avoids exceptions |
364 |
> |
being raised for valid set statements processed by a data formatter. |
365 |
> |
|
366 |
> |
8. New published property for TIBDatabase and TIBXServicesConnection. This is |
367 |
> |
FirebirdLibraryPathName: string. If not empty it is used to explicitly specify |
368 |
> |
the path of the Firebird Library used by the database/services connection. |
369 |
> |
|
370 |
> |
9. New read only public property for TIBDatabase and TIBXServicesConnection. This |
371 |
> |
is FirebirdAPI and returns the IFirebirdAPI interface used by the database/ |
372 |
> |
services connection. |
373 |
> |
|
374 |
> |
10.SQL Property editors now quote parameter names if "Quote identifier" is selected |
375 |
> |
or param name is not a valid SQL identifier. |
376 |
> |
|
377 |
> |
11. IBLookupComboEditBox: In Lazarus 2.0, TDBLookupComboBox takes a more restrictive |
378 |
> |
view of whether the text box should be editable when no DataSource is specified. |
379 |
> |
TIBLookupComboEditBox has been updated to workaround this problem. As long as |
380 |
> |
ReadOnly is false, the text box is editable when no DataSource is specified. |
381 |
> |
|
382 |
> |
12. AllowUseOfFBLIB is now set to "true" at design time. This is to allow use of |
383 |
> |
the FBLIB environment variable. If you do not want to permit this then you |
384 |
> |
must modify the Register procedure in the design/IBDBReg.pas unit to remove |
385 |
> |
this setting. |

1. IBCustomDataset: replace deprecated function ValidUTF8String with call to |
390 |
> |
Utf8EscapeControlChars |
391 |

IBX Change Log version (2.3-0) Mon, 16 Apr 2018 09:48:06 +0100 |
393 |
> |
|
394 |
> |
IMPORTANT: the source code tree has been re-organised for IBX 2.3. Please remove |
395 |
> |
all previous copies of the IBX source code tree before installing this release. |
396 |
> |
|
397 |
> |
The IBX packages used by most users have not changed, with one exception. The |
398 |
> |
IBServices unit has been moved to the package iblegacyServices.lpk. To continue |
399 |
> |
to use the IBServices unit in your applications, please add the iblegacyServices |
400 |
> |
to the list of dependencies. To do this, open the Project Inspector and select |
401 |
> |
Add->New Requirement and select "ibLegacyServices" from the list of available |
402 |
> |
packages. |
403 |
> |
|
404 |
> |
1. New unit IBXServices. The IBXServices unit is a re-architectured update of |
405 |
> |
the IBServices unit providing what is intended to be a clearer and easier to |
406 |
> |
use set of IB Services components. See Chapter 10 of the IBX User Guide for |
407 |
> |
more information and the guide to "Firebird Service Management Using IBX". |
408 |
> |
As indicated above, the legacy services components are still available and |
409 |
> |
provided in a separate package. There is no need to update working applications |
410 |
> |
using the older versions except for an additional package dependency. |
411 |
> |
|
412 |
> |
2. The IBX packages and source code tree have been re-organised in an attempt to |
413 |
> |
finally get rid of the "duplicate ppu" warnings. This re-organisation should |
414 |
> |
not affect existing users. Section 2.3 of the IBX User Guide describes the |
415 |
> |
new set of IBX packages. |
416 |
> |
|
417 |
> |
3. The ibx/examples/DBAdmin and the ibx/examples/services example have been |
418 |
> |
updated to use the new Services API components. |
419 |
> |
|
420 |
> |
4. The iblocal package has been updated to use the new Services API components. |
421 |
> |
|
422 |
> |
5. procedure SetAutoAdmin; in the new IBX Services this method is now a member of |
423 |
> |
TIBXSecurityService. It had been wrongly classified in the previous version |
424 |
> |
as a per database configuration item. It is global to a server and hence |
425 |
> |
correctly positioned as part of the Security Package. In the DBAdmin example, |
426 |
> |
the setting has moved to the mappings page. |
427 |
> |
|
428 |
> |
6. TIBXScript: IgnoreCreateDatabase added. If true then CREATE DATABASE statements |
429 |
> |
are ignored. |
430 |
> |
|
431 |
> |
7. TIBDatabase: DropDatabase now ensures that all transactions have been properly |
432 |
> |
closed before the database is dropped. Before and After Disconnect event handlers |
433 |
> |
are also fired. |
434 |
> |
|
435 |
> |
8. TIBTransaction: OnStartTransaction event now fires every time the transaction |
436 |
> |
is started and not just the first time. |
437 |
> |
|
438 |
> |
9. IBDataOutput: Use FormatFloat for all performance statistics to avoid platform |
439 |
> |
depenendency with comp type. |
440 |
> |
|
441 |
> |
10. IBDataOutput: select query data output is now sent to stdout instead of stderr. |
442 |
> |
|
443 |
> |
11. TIBDatabase: Remove regression. If a user login dialog changes the DatabaseName |
444 |
> |
then this is recognised and not ignored. |
445 |
> |
|
446 |
> |
12. TIBDataSet, TIBQuery, TIBTable: additions: |
447 |
> |
function GetRowsAffected(var SelectCount, InsertCount, UpdateCount, DeleteCount: integer): boolean; |
448 |
> |
function GetPerfStatistics(var stats: TPerfCounters): boolean; |
449 |
> |
property EnableStatistics: boolean read FEnableStatistics write SetEnableStatistics; |
450 |
> |
|
451 |
> |
GetRowsAffected returns the affected row counts from the last insert/update/delete |
452 |
> |
if EnableStatistics = true then GetPerfStatistics returns the current stats |
453 |
> |
counters for the select query. Note: stats accumulate after each fetch from |
454 |
> |
the database. To get total query cost after open, call the "Last" method |
455 |
> |
and then GetPerfStatistics. |
456 |
> |
|
457 |
> |
See ibx/examples/consolemode for an example of the use of GetPerfStatistics |
458 |
> |
|
459 |
> |
13. TIBExtract: Identity columns DDL. "Start with clause" now correctly encapsulated |
460 |
> |
in parenthesises. |
461 |
> |
|
462 |
> |
14. TIBExtract: new published property "AlwaysQuoteIdentifiers". If true then in dialect 3 |
463 |
> |
SQL identifiers are always delimited by double quotes. If false, then they are |
464 |
> |
only delimited if the identifier is a reserved word, contains lower case or special |
465 |
> |
characters. Set this property to true to retain previous behaviour. |
466 |
> |
|
467 |
> |
15. Insert SQL Property Editor. In Insert Returning Clause, Identity column names |
468 |
> |
are now inserted in double quotes if not Reserved Words or valid SQL Identifiers. |
469 |
> |
|
470 |
> |
16. TIBDataSet, TIBQuery, TIBTable: addition: |
471 |
> |
property MasterDetailDelay: integer {defaults to zero} |
472 |
> |
|
473 |
> |
When non-zero and the dataset is a detail table referencing a master table |
474 |
> |
through either a MasterSource (TIBTable) or a DataSource (TIBDataSet, TIBQuery) |
475 |
> |
then a synchronisation delay is added (in milliseconds) between the master |
476 |
> |
row changing and the detail dataset being re-opened. If the master dataset |
477 |
> |
is scrolled before the delay expires then the delay is reset. This can be used |
478 |
> |
to avoid performance overheads when scrolling through a large master dataset. |
479 |
> |
|
480 |
> |
Note: uses fptimer and hence requires a thread manager. Under Linux the |
481 |
> |
chreads unit must be included in your project. TTimer is not used in order |
482 |
> |
to avoid an LCL dependency. Requires FPC 3.0.2 or later. |
483 |
> |
|
484 |
> |
17. TIBExtract: User role grants now excluded when etGrantsToUser not specified |
485 |
> |
with Extract Option eoDatabase. |
486 |
> |
|
487 |
> |
18. TIBLookupComboEditBox: Workaround added for https://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=33428 |
488 |
> |
When a deLayoutChanged event is reported on the ListSource dataset, the |
489 |
> |
combobox text is updated. This allows a listsource (detail) to be in a Master/Detail |
490 |
> |
relationship with the control's datasource (master). |
491 |
> |
|
492 |
> |
19. TIBExtract: Full BigInt value range now supported for Generators/Sequences. |
493 |
> |
|
494 |
> |
20. TIBExtract: Select Procedures (Procedure type 1) now include "SUSPEND;" clause in their |
495 |
> |
stubs. Pedantic fix really, as procedures output in dependency order anyway. |
496 |
> |
|
497 |
> |
21. TIBExtract: Package Headers and Package Bodies are now included in the extracted |
498 |
> |
DDL (Firebird 3 and later only). |
499 |
> |
|
500 |
> |
22. TIBLookupComboBox Autocomplete Fixes: |
501 |
> |
i. Only appended text is now selected after autocomplete. |
502 |
> |
ii. Uppercase keys no longer ignored for autocomplete. |
503 |
> |
iii. Retain Prefix case is now honoured correctly. |
504 |
> |
iv. When a DataSource is assigned, typing after autocomplete now extends prefix |
505 |
> |
before autocomplete performed. i.e. behaviour now the same as when |
506 |
> |
no DataSource assigned. |
507 |
> |
|
508 |
> |
23. TIBXScript: Single Line Comments starting with '--' are now ignored when occurring |
509 |
> |
between SQL statements. |
510 |
> |
|
511 |
> |
24. TIBExtract: New published property CaseSensitiveObjectNames. If false (default) then |
512 |
> |
ObjectNames are converted to upper case before matching against metadata object |
513 |
> |
names, unless the objectname is delimited by double quotes, in which case, the |
514 |
> |
double quotes are removed and the remaining string is used (unmodified) to match |
515 |
> |
against the metadata object name. |
516 |
> |
|
517 |
> |
If true then the ObjectName is used as is without modification and matched |
518 |
> |
against the metadata object name. No attempt is made to remove double quotes. |
519 |
> |
|
520 |
> |
25. TIBExtract: New Extract Types: etDatabaseTriggers and etDDLTriggers. When used |
521 |
> |
with eoTrigger, these extract types can be used to select only Database Triggers, |
522 |
> |
or DDL Triggers or both. Ignored when etTable or etTrigger included in Extract Types. |
523 |
> |
|
524 |
> |
26. TIBXScript: If an exception occurs during the processing of a statement, the |
525 |
> |
statement separate character is now reset to the default (';'). |
526 |
> |
|
527 |
> |
27. TIBDatabase: Reconnect method added and used by TIBXScript for reconnect. |
528 |
> |
|
529 |
> |
28. TIBXScript: Transaction is no longer automatically reactivated immediately processing |
530 |
> |
a commit or reconnect statement and instead activated only when next SQL statement |
531 |
> |
is executed. |
532 |
> |
|
533 |
> |
29. TIBSQL.HasField should no longer generate and exception when the field does not exist. |
534 |
> |
|
535 |
> |
30. TIBXScript: case insensitive regex now used when matching statements instead of |
536 |
> |
converting statement to upper case. |
537 |
> |
|
538 |
> |
31. TIBExtract: metadata comments now supported. New published property |
539 |
> |
IncludeMetaDataComments (default true). If true then metadata comments included |
540 |
> |
in extracted DDL. New Extract Object member eoComments. This may be used with |
541 |
> |
ExtractObject method to list all metadata comments. |
542 |
> |
|
543 |
> |
32. TIBExtract: ListObjectNames method added. |
544 |
> |
|
545 |
> |
33. Updated Database component editor to support additional connection string |
546 |
> |
types. |

IBX Change Log version (2.2-0) Wed, 28 Feb 2018 10:57:45 +0000 |
549 |
> |
|
550 |
> |
NOTE: THE LOCATIONS OF SOME OF THE UNIT DIRECTORIES HAS CHANGED FROM IBX 2.1. THIS IS TO |
551 |
> |
AVOID DUPLICATE PPU WARNINGS. PLEASE REMOVE EARLIER VERSIONS OF IBX BEFORE INSTALLING THIS |
552 |
> |
RELEASE. |
553 |
> |
|
554 |
> |
NOTE: THE DBADMIN DEMO REQUIRES THAT THE MemDSLaz PACKAGE IS INSTALLED IN THE LAZARUS IDE. |
555 |
> |
|
556 |
> |
1. IBExtract: Identity columns - add additional check for null column for generator name. |
557 |
|
|
558 |
|
2. IBCustomDataSet: Insert and Modify (Update) queries now recognise and process SQL RETURNING clauses. |
559 |
|
The main use for this is for Firebird 3 Identity columns (see IBXDocumentation 6.6.8 for further |
560 |
< |
information). Values returned as a result of executing an Insert or Update statement |
561 |
< |
replace existing values in the current row for each corresponding column. |
560 |
> |
information). However, this is also a very useful mechanism for returning updated computed by |
561 |
> |
column values. Values returned as a result of executing an Insert or Update statement |
562 |
> |
replace existing values in the current row for each corresponding column. |
563 |
> |
|
564 |
> |
Previously, if a dataset's select query included read only (computed by) fields then |
565 |
> |
an automatic row refresh was performed after an insert or update query had been processed, |
566 |
> |
irrespective of the setting of the "ForcedUpdates" property. This has changed such |
567 |
> |
that an automatic refresh is no longer performed if an insert or update query contains |
568 |
> |
a returning clause that updates one or more fields on the current row. A full row |
569 |
> |
refresh is only performed if (a) ForcedRefresh is true or (b) the query does not return any |
570 |
> |
field values and the select query contains read only fields. Use of Insert/update |
571 |
> |
returning should be significantly more efficient than executing a refresh query. |
572 |
> |
|
573 |
> |
This behaviour change is intended to be backwards compatible and there should be no need to change |
574 |
> |
existing programs, other than to improve performance by using the new capability. |
575 |
|
|
576 |
< |
3. The InsertSQL property editor now shows Firebird 3 Identity columns separate from the Field List. |
576 |
> |
3. IBCustomDataSet: DELETE...RETURNING queries are now also recognised. However, as |
577 |
> |
they are called when the dataset row is being deleted, there is no value in |
578 |
> |
updating the current record from the query result. Instead, a new event handler |
579 |
> |
"OnDeleteReturning" is provided. If a DELETE...RETURNING query is execute and |
580 |
> |
an OnDeleteReturning event handler is provided then it is called with the IResults returned |
581 |
> |
by the query. The event handler can then interrogate the query results and |
582 |
> |
perform whatever action is necessary. For example to confirm, to the user, |
583 |
> |
the deletion of a row with the returned values. |
584 |
> |
|
585 |
> |
4. TIBTable: generated Insert and Update SQL now include a RETURNING clause for |
586 |
> |
any Computed By or Identity Columns. The IBTables example has been updated to |
587 |
> |
illustrate the computation of the employee Full Name on update. |
588 |
> |
|
589 |
> |
5. TIBTable: The GeneratorField property is now published. |
590 |
> |
|
591 |
> |
6. The InsertSQL property editor now shows Firebird 3 Identity columns separate from the Field List. |
592 |
|
When InsertSQL is generated, the Identity columns are not included in the list of values to |
593 |
|
be inserted. A RETURNING clause is added to the insert statement to return the value of |
594 |
|
each Identity column after the insert is executed. |
595 |
|
|
596 |
+ |
7. The Modify Property Editor now generates Update SQL with Computed By fields in Update..Returning clause. |
597 |
+ |
Similarly Insert Property Editor now generates Insert SQL with Computed By fields in |
598 |
+ |
Insert..Returning clause. |
599 |
+ |
|
600 |
+ |
8. TIBGenerator: small performance improvement by not preparing query each time |
601 |
+ |
a new value is generated. |
602 |
+ |
|
603 |
+ |
9. TIBSQL: Free resources when transaction changed - ensures new transaction is used. |
604 |
+ |
|
605 |
+ |
10. Property editors will now sync table name to a System Table when "Include System |
606 |
+ |
Tables" is selected and the query is for a System Table. |
607 |
+ |
|
608 |
+ |
11. Minor Performance improvement to handling of Date/Time types in IBX datasets. Field |
609 |
+ |
values are no longer converted to milliseconds from TDateTime and then back again |
610 |
+ |
to TDateTime (the conversion to milliseconds is the default TDataset approach). |
611 |
+ |
|
612 |
+ |
12. Property Editors handling of Stored Procedures. |
613 |
+ |
* Select and Refresh: only show a list of stored procedures that return multiple rows (proc type 1) and |
614 |
+ |
which have a non-empty list of output parameters (i.e. stored procedures that may be used in a select |
615 |
+ |
query). |
616 |
+ |
* Modify and Insert: only show a list of stored procedures that return at most a singleton row (proc type 2). |
617 |
+ |
|
618 |
+ |
13. IBStoredProc: Now supports Firebird 3 Package Names. A new published property PackageName |
619 |
+ |
can be used to select a package. If non-empty, the stored procedure name is |
620 |
+ |
expected to be a stored procedure defined in the specified package and the |
621 |
+ |
generated SQL will be as required for a stored procedure located in a package. |
622 |
+ |
|
623 |
+ |
14. Select, Refresh, Insert, Modify, Delete and TIBSQL SQL Property Editors now include |
624 |
+ |
a "Package Name" drop down box to allow selection of a Firebird 3 Package from |
625 |
+ |
which a stored procedure can be selected. With no package name selected, non-package |
626 |
+ |
stored procedures are listed. |
627 |
+ |
|
628 |
+ |
15. TIBXScript: turn off database login prompt when reconnecting - this avoids prompting |
629 |
+ |
for password on reconnect. |
630 |
+ |
|
631 |
+ |
16. TIBDatabase: use IAttachment for connection default character set id, code page |
632 |
+ |
and character set name. |
633 |
+ |
|
634 |
+ |
17. TIBDatabaseInfo: cache ODS Version information on first request in order to minimise |
635 |
+ |
DB info lookups" |
636 |
+ |
|
637 |
+ |
18. IBExtract: now supports DDL Triggers and Grants to DDL objects. |
638 |
+ |
|
639 |
+ |
19. Add a property Editor for TIBUpdate.RefreshSQL. |
640 |
+ |
|
641 |
+ |
20. IBUpdate: Ignore non-data (e.g. calculated) fields when assembling list of input |
642 |
+ |
parameters. This stops an exception being raised when the field cannot be |
643 |
+ |
located in the record buffer. |
644 |
+ |
|
645 |
+ |
21. Property Editors now automatically include System Tables when opened and when the query table |
646 |
+ |
is a System Table. |
647 |
+ |
|
648 |
+ |
22. IBServices: SQRB and SRB buffers are now reset when service query throws an exception. |
649 |
+ |
This avoids errors due to a stale SQRB or SRB being used for the next query. |
650 |
+ |
|
651 |
+ |
23. IBServices: Service attach parameters now include "expected_db". This is used to |
652 |
+ |
add the SPB item isc_spb_expected_db. This names a database using |
653 |
+ |
an alternative Security Database (FB3 onwards) and allows (e.g. backup/restore) using such a |
654 |
+ |
database. examples/services re-written to illustrate use of "expected_db". |
655 |
+ |
|
656 |
+ |
24. IBServices: TIBControlAndQueryService.WriteNextChunk no longer ignores isc_info_svc_timeout. |
657 |
+ |
This avoids truncated backups when the server returns a timeout (busy) response. |
658 |
+ |
|
659 |
+ |
25. TIBDatabase: isc_dpb_page_size now supported as a database parameter when using TIBDatabase.CreateDatabase. |
660 |
+ |
|
661 |
+ |
26. TIBDatabase: DatabaseName property may now be prefixed by $TEMP$ or $DATADIR$ for local |
662 |
+ |
databasenames. These are respectively expanded to the local system's temp directory |
663 |
+ |
(including trailing delimiter) or to a prescribed data directory (including |
664 |
+ |
trailing delimiter). Under Unix systems the data directory is a hidden directory |
665 |
+ |
in the user's home directory. The hidden directory name is either the string returned |
666 |
+ |
from the SysUtils "Vendor Name" or "IBX" if empty. In either case prefixed by a '.'. |
667 |
+ |
Under Windows, the directory is the same as the Data Directory as decribed |
668 |
+ |
above but instead prefixed by the User's application data path. These may be |
669 |
+ |
used to improve application portability for Personal Databases. |
670 |
+ |
|
671 |
+ |
27. TIBTable: FieldDefs property is no longer published. Due to the use of TIBFieldDef |
672 |
+ |
this has not worked for a long time and is not useful either. FieldDefs should be |
673 |
+ |
managed using the Fields Editor as with any other dataset. To access the fields |
674 |
+ |
editor for a TIBTable component, double click on the component. The fields editor |
675 |
+ |
is then displayed. |
676 |
+ |
|
677 |
+ |
28. TIBDatabaseInfo: new properties/function |
678 |
+ |
* DateDBCreated (returns date/time database created) |
679 |
+ |
* TransactionCount (returns no. of active transactions) |
680 |
+ |
* GetDatabasePage(PageNo: integer) (returns contents of specified database page - SYSDBA only). |
681 |
+ |
* PagesFree (Firebird 3 or later) |
682 |
+ |
* PagesUsed (Firebird 3 or later) |
683 |
+ |
* Encrypted (returns true if database encrypted. (Firebird 3.0.3 or later only) |
684 |
+ |
* EncryptionKeyName (returns the name of the encryption key if any (Firebird 3.0.3 or later only) |
685 |
+ |
|
686 |
+ |
29. IBServices classes now provided the decoded release number in the (array) property ServerVersionNo. |
687 |
+ |
|
688 |
+ |
30. TIBSecurityService now supports display/modification of the User Admin Role (Firebird 2.5 and later). |
689 |
+ |
|
690 |
+ |
31. TIBConfigService now has a procedure SetAutoAdmin(Value: boolean) to enable/disable |
691 |
+ |
the automtic mapping of privileged OS users to the RDB$ADMIN role (Firebird 2.5 and later). |
692 |
+ |
|
693 |
+ |
32. TIBBackupService: New Option - NoDBTriggers equivalent to -nodbtriggers switch introduced |
694 |
+ |
in the gbak utility at V.2.1 to prevent database-level and transaction-level triggers from |
695 |
+ |
firing during backup and restore. |
696 |
+ |
|
697 |
+ |
33. Both TIBBackupService and TIBRestoreService now support backup/restore statistics options |
698 |
+ |
for verbose output using the new property "StatisticsRequested". |
699 |
+ |
see https://firebirdsql.org/file/documentation/release_notes/html/en/2_5/rnfb25-util-gbak.html#rnfb25-util-gbakstats |
700 |
+ |
|
701 |
+ |
34. TIBRestoreService: now supports new options RestoreMetaDataOnly (Firebird 2.5 and later). |
702 |
+ |
|
703 |
+ |
35. TIBOnlineValidationService component added to the IBServices and the "Firebird Admin" |
704 |
+ |
palette. This uses the online validation feature added in Firebird 2.5. The |
705 |
+ |
services's properties enable inclusion/exclusion of tables and indexes using |
706 |
+ |
regular expressions. See. |

708 |
+ |
|
709 |
+ |
36. IBServices: procedure TIBConfigService.SetNoLinger added to set no linger |
710 |
+ |
option on a database. |
711 |
+ |
|
712 |
+ |
37. TIBCustomService: Assign method implemented to allow copying of service login |
713 |
+ |
context between service API components. "Detach" method now only detaches |
714 |
+ |
service when last reference to the service interface detaches. Tidy up of |
715 |
+ |
code for SetActive and Attach methods including password hiding. |
716 |
+ |
|
717 |
+ |
38. TIBDatabase: new properties: AuthenticationMethod and RemoteProtocol. Read only |
718 |
+ |
and used to determine the auth method and protocol used for the connection. |
719 |
+ |
|
720 |
+ |
39. TIBDatabase: ensure that SQLDialect setting is used when creating a database using |
721 |
+ |
a Create Database Statement generated by IBX. |
722 |
+ |
|
723 |
+ |
40. All IBServices now have an additional published property "PortNo". This may |
724 |
+ |
be set to a non-standard port number when necessary. If zero then the default |
725 |
+ |
port number is used. |
726 |
+ |
|
727 |
+ |
41: TIBLookupComboeditBox: Ensure dataset updated when change selected with the keyboard |
728 |
+ |
and not just the mouse. |
729 |
+ |
|
730 |
+ |
42. TIBCustomDataset: reopen query if already active when a TIBControlLink is added. |
731 |
+ |
|
732 |
+ |
43. TIBTreeview: new ImageIndexField and SelectedIndexField Property allows the |
733 |
+ |
image index and selected image index for each node to be set from a database field. |
734 |
+ |
|
735 |
+ |
44. TIBExtract: new extract type (etGrantsToUser) for use with eoDatabase. If included |
736 |
+ |
then database schema includes grants to all users. If not present then the |
737 |
+ |
only user grants included are those to User PUBLIC. |
738 |
+ |
|
739 |
+ |
45. TIBTreeView: performance improvement. When expanding include both expanded node |
740 |
+ |
and child nodes in dataset. |
