IBX Change Log version (2.2-0) Sat, 20 Jan 2018 12:09:59 +0000 |
| 2 |
+ |
|
| 3 |
+ |
1. IBExtract: Identity columns - add additional check for null column for generator name. |
| 4 |
+ |
|
| 5 |
+ |
2. IBCustomDataSet: Insert and Modify (Update) queries now recognise and process SQL RETURNING clauses. |
| 6 |
+ |
The main use for this is for Firebird 3 Identity columns (see IBXDocumentation 6.6.8 for further |
| 7 |
+ |
information). However, this is also a very useful mechanism for returning updated computed by |
| 8 |
+ |
column values. Values returned as a result of executing an Insert or Update statement |
| 9 |
+ |
replace existing values in the current row for each corresponding column. |
| 10 |
+ |
|
| 11 |
+ |
Previously, if a dataset's select query included read only (computed by) fields then |
| 12 |
+ |
an automatic row refresh was performed after an insert or update query had been processed, |
| 13 |
+ |
irrespective of the setting of the "ForcedUpdates" property. This has changed such |
| 14 |
+ |
that an automatic refresh is no longer performed if an insert or update query contains |
| 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. |
| 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. |
| 22 |
+ |
|
| 23 |
+ |
3. IBCustomDataSet: DELETE...RETURNING queries are now also recognised. However, as |
| 24 |
+ |
they are called when the dataset row is being deleted, there is no value in |
| 25 |
+ |
updating the current record from the query result. Instead, a new event handler |
| 26 |
+ |
"OnDeleteReturning" is provided. If a DELETE...RETURNING query is execute and |
| 27 |
+ |
an OnDeleteReturning event handler is provided then it is called with the IResults returned |
| 28 |
+ |
by the query. The event handler can then interrogate the query results and |
| 29 |
+ |
perform whatever action is necessary. For example to confirm, to the user, |
| 30 |
+ |
the deletion of a row with the returned values. |
| 31 |
+ |
|
| 32 |
+ |
4. TIBTable: generated Insert and Update SQL now include a RETURNING clause for |
| 33 |
+ |
any Computed By or Identity Columns. The IBTables example has been updated to |
| 34 |
+ |
illustrate the computation of the employee Full Name on update. |
| 35 |
+ |
|
| 36 |
+ |
5. TIBTable: The GeneratorField property is now published. |
| 37 |
+ |
|
| 38 |
+ |
6. The InsertSQL property editor now shows Firebird 3 Identity columns separate from the Field List. |
| 39 |
+ |
When InsertSQL is generated, the Identity columns are not included in the list of values to |
| 40 |
+ |
be inserted. A RETURNING clause is added to the insert statement to return the value of |
| 41 |
+ |
each Identity column after the insert is executed. |
| 42 |
+ |
|
| 43 |
+ |
7. The Modify Property Editor now generates Update SQL with Computed By fields in Update..Returning clause. |
| 44 |
+ |
Similarly Insert Property Editor now generates Insert SQL with Computed By fields in |
| 45 |
+ |
Insert..Returning clause. |
| 46 |
+ |
|
| 47 |
+ |
8. TIBGenerator: small performance improvement by not preparing query each time |
| 48 |
+ |
a new value is generated. |
| 49 |
+ |
|
| 50 |
+ |
9. TIBSQL: Free resources when transaction changed - ensures new transaction is used. |
| 51 |
+ |
|
| 52 |
+ |
10. Property editors will now sync table name to a System Table when "Include System |
| 53 |
+ |
Tables" is selected and the query is for a System Table. |
| 54 |
+ |
|
| 55 |
+ |
11. Minor Performance improvement to handling of Date/Time types in IBX datasets. Field |
| 56 |
+ |
values are no longer converted to milliseconds from TDateTime and then back again |
| 57 |
+ |
to TDateTime (the conversion to milliseconds is the default TDataset approach). |
| 58 |
+ |
|
| 59 |
+ |
12. Property Editors handling of Stored Procedures. |
| 60 |
+ |
* Select and Refresh: only show a list of stored procedures that return multiple rows (proc type 1) and |
| 61 |
+ |
which have a non-empty list of output parameters (i.e. stored procedures that may be used in a select |
| 62 |
+ |
query). |
| 63 |
+ |
* Modify and Insert: only show a list of stored procedures that return at most a singleton row (proc type 2). |
| 64 |
+ |
|
| 65 |
+ |
13. IBStoredProc: Now supports Firebird 3 Package Names. A new published property PackageName |
| 66 |
+ |
can be used to select a package. If non-empty, the stored procedure name is |
| 67 |
+ |
expected to be a stored procedure defined in the specified package and the |
| 68 |
+ |
generated SQL will be as required for a stored procedure located in a package. |
| 69 |
+ |
|
| 70 |
+ |
14. Select, Refresh, Insert, Modify, Delete and TIBSQL SQL Property Editors now include |
| 71 |
+ |
a "Package Name" drop down box to allow selection of a Firebird 3 Package from |
| 72 |
+ |
which a stored procedure can be selected. With no package name selected, non-package |
| 73 |
+ |
stored procedures are listed. |
| 74 |
+ |
|
| 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 |
| 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. |
| 85 |
+ |
|
