1. TIBDatabaseInfo: review and tidy-up of property types. Most widen to int64 with the |
| 10 |
> |
exception of those defined to be one byte wide e.g. DBImplementationNo. |
| 11 |
> |
|
| 12 |
> |
2. TIBSQL: Batch Update/Insert support added. |
| 13 |
> |
|
| 14 |
> |
3. TIBStoredProc: when generating the SQL, the value of the StoredProcName property |
| 15 |
> |
is no longer automatically converted to upper case when it is syntactically a |
| 16 |
> |
SQL Identifier. This is to support the use of stored procedures defined e.g. |
| 17 |
> |
as CREATE PROCEDURE "iCASE". |
| 18 |
> |
|
| 19 |
> |
There could be a backwards compatibility issue when the StoredProcName was entered |
| 20 |
> |
manually at design time. That is not selected from the drop down list. If the |
| 21 |
> |
StoredProcName is entered in mixed case and the procedure was declared e.g. as |
| 22 |
> |
CREATE PROCEDURE iCASE, then the SQL generation will be incorrect. You should |
| 23 |
> |
ensure that the value of the StoredProcName is all upper case, unless it was |
| 24 |
> |
declared under dialect 3 and explicitly as mixed case (i.e. delimited by double |
| 25 |
> |
quotes). |
| 26 |
> |
|
| 27 |
> |
Note that when a stored procedure name was declared delimited in double quotes, |
| 28 |
> |
as in the first example above, the value of the StoredProcName property must not |
| 29 |
> |
include the delimiters (double quotes). |
| 30 |
> |
|
| 31 |
> |
4. IBXUpgradeConfFile: an exception is now raised if a patch file specified in |
| 32 |
> |
upgrade.conf was not found. This replaces silently ignoring the problem. |
| 33 |
> |
|
| 34 |
> |
5. TIBLocalDBSupport: new property "SectionHeaderTemplate". This defaults to |
| 35 |
> |
'Version.%.3d' and is used to generate the section header names (for a given |
| 36 |
> |
version no.) in the upgrade.conf file. |

1. Firebird 4 support added. |
| 46 |
> |
|
| 47 |
> |
2. New FB4 data types TIME WITH TIME ZONE, TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE, DECFLOAT and |
| 48 |
> |
extended precision NUMERIC fields are supported. |
| 49 |
> |
|
| 50 |
> |
3. TFmtBCDField is used to support access to DECFLOAT and extended precision NUMERIC fields. |
| 51 |
> |
|
| 52 |
> |
4. TIBDateTimeField and TIBTimeField are introduced in support of TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE |
| 53 |
> |
and TIME WITH TIME ZONE fields. These inherit from TDateTimeField. |
| 54 |
> |
|
| 55 |
> |
5. IBExtract now supports FB4 enhancements: |
| 56 |
> |
- new data types as above |
| 57 |
> |
- Identity column extensions |
| 58 |
> |
- Default user role |
| 59 |
> |
- SQL Security clause for Database, Tables, Procedures, Functions and Triggers |
| 60 |
> |
- Internal Functions |
| 61 |
> |
|
| 62 |
> |
6. IBExtract: new event: OnExtractLines. |
| 63 |
> |
|
| 64 |
> |
7. IBExtract: revert create trigger to legacy syntax see Firebird CORE-6243, CORE-5545 and DOC-145 |
| 65 |
> |
|
| 66 |
> |
8. IBXServices: Server version no. parsing now allows any letter before major version number |
| 67 |
> |
and is no longer restricted to 'V' e.g. "LI-T4.0.0.1436 Firebird 4.0 Beta 1" |
| 68 |
> |
|
| 69 |
> |
9. TIBDataSet and TIBQuery: new property TZTextOption. Used to determine the default |
| 70 |
> |
format for rendering a time zone. |
| 71 |
> |
|
| 72 |
> |
10. TIBDataSet and TIBQuery: new property DefaultTZDate. Used to provide the default date |
| 73 |
> |
to convert TIME WITH TIME ZONE data type values to and from GMT. |
| 74 |
> |
|
| 75 |
> |
11. Unit name IBTypes changed to IBInternals. Internal interfaces TIBGUIInterface and TIBTimerInf renamed to |
| 76 |
> |
IIBGUIInterface and IIBTimerInf respectively. |
| 77 |
> |
|
| 78 |
> |
12. Constants: DPBPrefix and TPBPrefix moved to IB unit. DPBConstantNames and TPBConstantNames |
| 79 |
> |
now accessible as properties of TIBDatabase and TIBTransaction respectively. |
| 80 |
> |
|
| 81 |
> |
13. String Fields: when a fixed character with (CHAR) field is returned, it is now |
| 82 |
> |
truncated to its fixed character width rather than being right padded with |
| 83 |
> |
white space to the maximum data size. |
| 84 |
> |
|
| 85 |
> |
14. TIBTable.Empty table. In additional to deleting all records in the underlying |
| 86 |
> |
table, the internal buffers are now also flushed ensuring that the TIBTable is |
| 87 |
> |
also empty. |
| 88 |
> |
|
| 89 |
> |
15. TBatchSQLStatementReader: Line buffer is now cleared on call to reset. |
| 90 |
> |
|
| 91 |
> |
16. TIBXControlService descendents: DatabaseName may now be set using a database |
| 92 |
> |
connect string. The database name is extracted from the connect string. |
| 93 |
> |
|
| 94 |
> |
17. DBControlGrid: Minor bug fixes. avoid AV on form closure, avoid black panel |
| 95 |
> |
|
| 96 |
> |
18. TIBExtract: Data type of COMPUTED By columns is no longer included in SQL. |
| 97 |
> |
|
| 98 |
> |
19. Local database on Linux and with legacy API and FB 2.5 embedded server: fixed problem with password |
| 99 |
> |
not being present as required. |
| 100 |
> |
|
| 101 |
> |
20. IBTreeView split into DBTreeView and IBTreeView. This former is an IBX indepedent |
| 102 |
> |
version that can be customised to work with other database drivers. |
| 103 |
> |
|
| 104 |
> |
21. ISQLMonitor: use platform specific LineEnding to delimit messages. Avoids |
| 105 |
> |
unnecessary CR at end of line on Unix platforms. |
| 106 |
> |
|
| 107 |
> |
22. ISQLMonitor: Unix: Default semaphore timeout increased from 1 second to 10 |
| 108 |
> |
seconds in order to reduce risk of message loss. |
| 109 |
> |
|
| 110 |
> |
23. ISQLMonitor: read and write count statistics now available via: |
| 111 |
> |
property TIBSQLMonitor.ReadCount; |
| 112 |
> |
IIBSQLMonitorHook.GetWriteCount: integer; |
| 113 |
> |
|
| 114 |
> |
24. ISQLMonitor tidy up and unit split. IPC functions moved to new unit IBIPC. |

|
| 118 |
> |
1. TIBStringField: when a string value is read from a dataset buffer, if the |
| 119 |
> |
number of UTF8 characters exceeds the string size then string is truncated |
| 120 |
> |
to the maximum string size. This is usually a problem with fixed width columns |
| 121 |
> |
right padded with white space. |
| 122 |
> |
|
| 123 |
> |
2. SQLFiltered and SQLFilterParams added to TIBQuery, TIBTable and TIBDataset. |
| 124 |
> |
If SQLFiltered is set then when a dataset is opened, each line in the |
| 125 |
> |
SQLFilterParams property is assumed to be a SQL condition clause and |
| 126 |
> |
ANDed into the Where clause of the SQL Select statement provided as a |
| 127 |
> |
dataset property. Each such SQL condition thus acts as an additional filter |
| 128 |
> |
on the dataset. |
| 129 |
> |
|
| 130 |
> |
3. The Filtered property inherited from TDataset is no longer used for SQL (server |
| 131 |
> |
side filters). |
| 132 |
> |
|
| 133 |
> |
4. IBLookupComboEditBox: Selection should no longer reset to start of text when |
| 134 |
> |
text matches complete entry. |
| 135 |
> |
|
| 136 |
> |
5. TIBDataLink: Detail Dataset params not refreshed unless both master and detail |
| 137 |
> |
dataset are active (avoids risk of access violation if master is inactive) |
| 138 |
> |
|
| 139 |
> |
6. TIBEvents: Registered property can now be set at design time even if database not open |
| 140 |
> |
|
| 141 |
> |
7. TIBEvents: component now correctly re-initialised after call to UnregisterEvents. |
| 142 |
> |
This should prevent "spillover" of events between sessions. |
| 143 |
> |
|
| 144 |
> |
8. TIBCustomDataset: GetNextRecord now called when reseting to first record of a unidirectional dataset. |
| 145 |
> |
This should ensure that the internal buffer is set up correctly and avoids |
| 146 |
> |
a duplicate initial row. |
| 147 |
> |
|
| 148 |
> |
9. TIBStringField: DataSize now given as byte size of string less trailing any zero character. |
| 149 |
> |
That is, the DataSize should be the field size * character set width. The |
| 150 |
> |
value returned by DataSize is now the same as the Dataset buffer size reserved |
| 151 |
> |
for the field. |
| 152 |
> |
|
| 153 |
> |
10. IBExtract: Tidyup of SQL generation. Avoid unnecessary double quotes. |
| 154 |
> |
|
| 155 |
> |
11. TIBCustomDataset: Add checks on buffer sizes when copying data from row to field buffer |
| 156 |
> |
and vice-versa. This may result in an exception being raised (correctly) for |
| 157 |
> |
older programs when using dataset fields added to a form and the database has been |
| 158 |
> |
upgraded. For example, computed fields can change from 32-bit to 64-bit integers. |
| 159 |
> |
In such cases, the field needs to be deleted in the IDE fields editor and then |
| 160 |
> |
added back in. |
| 161 |
> |
|
| 162 |
> |
12. IBCustomDataSet: CanInsert, CanEdit, CanDelete and CanRefresh updated to return |
| 163 |
> |
false if query contains only white space and not just empty. |
| 164 |
> |
|
| 165 |
> |
12. IBCustomDataset: Blob data is now cleared when TDataSet.Cancel is called. This |
| 166 |
> |
should ensure that (e.g.) a TDBMemo is correctly refreshed after a dataset edit |
| 167 |
> |
is cancelled. |
| 168 |
> |
|
| 169 |
> |
13. IBCustomDataset: SetArrayIntf should no longer cause an access violation if |
| 170 |
> |
called on a null field. |
| 171 |
> |
|
| 172 |
> |
14. IBCustomDataSet: An access violation should no longer occur when calling CancelUpdates |
| 173 |
> |
results in an empty dataTC86 Client side Filtered Dataset 1 X |
| 174 |
> |
set. |
| 175 |
> |
|
| 176 |
> |
15. IBCustomDataSet: OnUpdateError should now be called in all circumstances when |
| 177 |
> |
a cached update is applied and an exception is raised. |
| 178 |
> |
|
| 179 |
> |
16. IBCustomDataSet: Avoid access violation when SetBookmarkData called with nil pointer. |
| 180 |
> |
|
| 181 |
> |
17. Console Mode Local Database support: backup/restore should now work correctly. |
| 182 |
> |
|
| 183 |
> |
18. Local Database Support: if an upgrade fails, a downgrade is now performed if |
| 184 |
> |
possible and an exception raised. |
| 185 |
> |
|
| 186 |
> |
19. MinimumVersionNo added to Local Database Support. Database will not open if |
| 187 |
> |
below this version no. and upgrade not possible. |
| 188 |

|
1. TIBXDataSet and Generators: Generator Names that are not all upper case or |
| 192 |
|
not SQL Identifiers are now supported. |
