NOTE: THIS VERSION RE-WRITES THE INTERNAL BUFFER MANAGER AND SHOULD BE CONSIDERED |
35 |
> |
AS BETA SOFTWARE. EVEN THOUGH IT HAS PASSED ALL REGRESSION TESTS, IT CANNOT |
36 |
> |
BE ASSUMED TO BE PRODUCTION READY UNTIL WIDER USE. PLEASE REPORT ANY |
37 |
> |
ISSUES TO support@mwasoftware.co.uk |
38 |
> |
|
39 |
> |
1. Complete rewrite of internal buffer management in order to improve performance |
40 |
> |
and maintainability. Highlights: |
41 |
> |
|
42 |
> |
* Extending the size of the buffer pool no longer has to copy the entire record |
43 |
> |
cache. Instead, a new extent is simply added to the buffer pool. |
44 |
> |
* A memory to memory copy of each display buffer now is avoided when scolling the |
45 |
> |
dataset. |
46 |
> |
* A separate set of buffers is now used for calculated fields. This avoids |
47 |
> |
having to keep copies of calculated field values in the buffer cache. |
48 |
> |
* Compact bitmaps are used to record null status and need to refresh in each |
49 |
> |
buffer. |
50 |
> |
* Display buffer type changed from PChar to TRecordBuffer in line with change of |
51 |
> |
buffer type in FCL-DB. |
52 |
> |
|
53 |
> |
2. TIBUpdateSQL: changes to SQL text will close linked dataset if open. This is |
54 |
> |
to ensure same behaviour as TIBDataset, TIBTable and TIBStoredProcedure. |
55 |
> |
|
56 |
> |
3. TField Provider Flags: pfRefreshOnInsert and pfRefreshOnUpdate are now supported. |
57 |
> |
If either or both of these flags are set at design time (using the fields editor) |
58 |
> |
then this forces a row refresh on respectively insert or update, or both, when the |
59 |
> |
corresponding field is not present in an SQL RETURNING clause. |
60 |
> |
|
61 |
> |
4. TIBCustomDataset.FieldDefsFromQuery moved to a helper class (TFieldDefsMaker) in order to improve |
62 |
> |
maintainability and readability and to add identification of primary key fields. |
63 |
> |
|
64 |
> |
5. TIBQuery, TIBDataset and TIBTable. Traditionally, IBX has implemented the Refresh method |
65 |
> |
as a refresh of the current row. However, this is different behaviour to that described |
66 |
> |
in the FPC documentation for TDataset.Refresh which is described as "refetches the data in |
67 |
> |
the dataset from the underlying database, and attempts to reposition the cursor on |
68 |
> |
the same record as it was". IBX now complies with the FPC definition of Refresh. |
69 |
> |
|
70 |
> |
6. A progammatic Row Refresh should no longer be required. |
71 |
> |
Use Insert/Update... returning to refresh any fields that may change following an |
72 |
> |
insert or update i.e. Identify fields on Insert only, Computed By, Blob and array fields |
73 |
> |
on both. If there are any other fields (e.g. updated by triggers) set the appropriate ProviderFlag |
74 |
> |
for the field at Design Time to force a row refresh if not in the returning clause. |
75 |
> |
|
76 |
> |
7. It should now be possible to insert a row into an empty unidirectional dataset. |
77 |
> |
|
78 |
> |
8. New TIBQuery, TIBDataSet and TIBTable property: BufferChunksInFirstBlock (default 50). |
79 |
> |
This gives the number of buffers in the initial block for the buffer pool in |
80 |
> |
bi-directional datasets. BufferChunks (default 1000) gives the number of buffers |
81 |
> |
in subsequent buffer pool blocks. This avoids large and mostly unused memory allocations |
82 |
> |
for small datasets. |

|
94 |
> |
1. TIBTransaction: new properties |
95 |
> |
property TransactionID: integer read GetTransactionID; |
96 |
> |
property IsReadOnly: boolean read GetIsReadOnly; |
97 |
> |
{published} |
98 |
> |
property TransactionName: string read FTransactionName write SetTransactionName; |
99 |
> |
|
100 |
> |
2. IBCustomDataset: per row blob and array buffer cached clear before processing |
101 |
> |
Insert or Update...Returning. This allows blobs and arrays to be returned |
102 |
> |
by the statement. |
103 |
> |
|
104 |
> |
3. TSQLXMLReader moved from IBXScript to package fbintf unit IBUtils. |
105 |
> |
|
106 |
> |
4. TransactionName initialised to a newly generated GUID if empty. |
107 |
> |
|
108 |
> |
5. New unit: IBJournal. This provides the TIBJournal component which is a wrapper |
109 |
> |
for the fbintf package's journaling capability. TIBJournal is used to set the |
110 |
> |
file path and filename for the journal file and to Enabled (start journaling) and |
111 |
> |
disable (stop journaling). See fbintf/doc/README.ClientSideJournaling.pdf for |
112 |
> |
more information, and comments in IBJournal.pas. |
113 |
> |
|
114 |
> |
6. TIBDatabase.InternalTransaction is now a read only transaction. |
115 |
> |
|
116 |
> |
7. Bug fix: blob id no longer set to null on update when blob has not been |
117 |
> |
retrieved. |
118 |
> |
|
119 |
> |
8. Row auto refreshed on update/insert if blob or array field updated and field |
120 |
> |
not in a returning clause. |
121 |
> |
|
122 |
> |
9. ColumnCount moved from record buffer header to a single per dataset count. Reduces |
123 |
> |
buffer overhead and avoids problem when refresh query has a different column |
124 |
> |
count to select query i.e. incorrectly changing number of columns. |
125 |
> |
|
126 |
> |
10. IBExtract: support added for UDR Functions, Procedure and Trigger declarations. |
127 |
> |
|
128 |
> |
11. TIBDatabaseInfo. New property FirebirdVersion. This returns the current Firebird version |
129 |
> |
string. Note that the Version property returns an InterBase compatible version string. |
130 |
> |
|
131 |
> |
12. IBExtract: ensure sql identifiers returned as a LIST are always quoted. |
132 |
> |

|
135 |
> |
1. IBCustomDataset: Modify TISQL component now defaults to GoToFirstRecordOnExecute := true. |
136 |
> |
This is for compatibility with Firebird 5 where Update...Returning can return |
137 |
> |
a cursor. |

141 |
> |
1. Add try-..except check when initially loading library in IDE. This should |
142 |
> |
ensure that IDE continues to load even when a failure occurs in IBX load |
143 |
> |
library. |
144 |
> |
|
145 |
> |
2. IBXScript: now recognises a CASE...END block within a stored procedure and |
146 |
> |
hence will correctly detect end of the outer containing block when the block |
147 |
> |
contains a SELECT ... CASE ... END construct. |
148 |
> |
|
149 |
> |
3. IBExtract: some further tidying up to remove extraneous white space. |
150 |
> |
|
151 |
> |
4. IBCustomDataSet: DefaultFieldClasses array declaration updated to avoid compile time |
152 |
> |
errors when extra elements are added to DB.TFieldType. |
153 |
> |
|
154 |
> |
5. IBUpdate: updated to reflect changes to ISQLParam. |
155 |
> |
|
156 |
> |
6. IBXScript: now correctly parses a DECLARE statement which includes a quoted string. |
157 |
> |
|
158 |
> |
7. IBExtract: for ODS >=13, increment generator value by one for ALTER SEQUENCE statement. |
159 |
> |
|
160 |
> |
8. IBSQL: Support for scrollable cursors added (note: local databases only) |

IBX Change Log version (2.4-2 Build 12773) Mon, 23 Aug 2021 11:59:42 +0100 |
163 |
> |
|
164 |
> |
1. TIBDatabaseInfo: review and tidy-up of property types. Most widen to int64 with the |
165 |
> |
exception of those defined to be one byte wide e.g. DBImplementationNo. |
166 |
> |
|
167 |
> |
2. TIBSQL: Batch Update/Insert support added. |
168 |
> |
|
169 |
> |
3. TIBStoredProc: when generating the SQL, the value of the StoredProcName property |
170 |
> |
is no longer automatically converted to upper case when it is syntactically a |
171 |
> |
SQL Identifier. This is to support the use of stored procedures defined e.g. |
172 |
> |
as CREATE PROCEDURE "iCASE". |
173 |
> |
|
174 |
> |
There could be a backwards compatibility issue when the StoredProcName was entered |
175 |
> |
manually at design time. That is not selected from the drop down list. If the |
176 |
> |
StoredProcName is entered in mixed case and the procedure was declared e.g. as |
177 |
> |
CREATE PROCEDURE iCASE, then the SQL generation will be incorrect. You should |
178 |
> |
ensure that the value of the StoredProcName is all upper case, unless it was |
179 |
> |
declared under dialect 3 and explicitly as mixed case (i.e. delimited by double |
180 |
> |
quotes). |
181 |
> |
|
182 |
> |
Note that when a stored procedure name was declared delimited in double quotes, |
183 |
> |
as in the first example above, the value of the StoredProcName property must not |
184 |
> |
include the delimiters (double quotes). |
185 |
> |
|
186 |
> |
4. IBXUpgradeConfFile: an exception is now raised if a patch file specified in |
187 |
> |
upgrade.conf was not found. This replaces silently ignoring the problem. |
188 |
> |
|
189 |
> |
5. TIBLocalDBSupport: new property "SectionHeaderTemplate". This defaults to |
190 |
> |
'Version.%.3d' and is used to generate the section header names (for a given |
191 |
> |
version no.) in the upgrade.conf file. |
192 |

|
200 |
> |
1. Firebird 4 support added. |
201 |
> |
|
202 |
> |
2. New FB4 data types TIME WITH TIME ZONE, TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE, DECFLOAT and |
203 |
> |
extended precision NUMERIC fields are supported. |
204 |
> |
|
205 |
> |
3. TFmtBCDField is used to support access to DECFLOAT and extended precision NUMERIC fields. |
206 |
> |
|
207 |
> |
4. TIBDateTimeField and TIBTimeField are introduced in support of TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE |
208 |
> |
and TIME WITH TIME ZONE fields. These inherit from TDateTimeField. |
209 |
> |
|
210 |
> |
5. IBExtract now supports FB4 enhancements: |
211 |
> |
- new data types as above |
212 |
> |
- Identity column extensions |
213 |
> |
- Default user role |
214 |
> |
- SQL Security clause for Database, Tables, Procedures, Functions and Triggers |
215 |
> |
- Internal Functions |
216 |
> |
|
217 |
> |
6. IBExtract: new event: OnExtractLines. |
218 |
> |
|
219 |
> |
7. IBExtract: revert create trigger to legacy syntax see Firebird CORE-6243, CORE-5545 and DOC-145 |
220 |
> |
|
221 |
> |
8. IBXServices: Server version no. parsing now allows any letter before major version number |
222 |
> |
and is no longer restricted to 'V' e.g. "LI-T4.0.0.1436 Firebird 4.0 Beta 1" |
223 |
> |
|
224 |
> |
9. TIBDataSet and TIBQuery: new property TZTextOption. Used to determine the default |
225 |
> |
format for rendering a time zone. |
226 |
> |
|
227 |
> |
10. TIBDataSet and TIBQuery: new property DefaultTZDate. Used to provide the default date |
228 |
> |
to convert TIME WITH TIME ZONE data type values to and from GMT. |
229 |
> |
|
230 |
> |
11. Unit name IBTypes changed to IBInternals. Internal interfaces TIBGUIInterface and TIBTimerInf renamed to |
231 |
> |
IIBGUIInterface and IIBTimerInf respectively. |
232 |
> |
|
233 |
> |
12. Constants: DPBPrefix and TPBPrefix moved to IB unit. DPBConstantNames and TPBConstantNames |
234 |
> |
now accessible as properties of TIBDatabase and TIBTransaction respectively. |
235 |
> |
|
236 |
> |
13. String Fields: when a fixed character with (CHAR) field is returned, it is now |
237 |
> |
truncated to its fixed character width rather than being right padded with |
238 |
> |
white space to the maximum data size. |
239 |
> |
|
240 |
> |
14. TIBTable.Empty table. In additional to deleting all records in the underlying |
241 |
> |
table, the internal buffers are now also flushed ensuring that the TIBTable is |
242 |
> |
also empty. |
243 |
> |
|
244 |
> |
15. TBatchSQLStatementReader: Line buffer is now cleared on call to reset. |
245 |
> |
|
246 |
> |
16. TIBXControlService descendents: DatabaseName may now be set using a database |
247 |
> |
connect string. The database name is extracted from the connect string. |
248 |
> |
|
249 |
> |
17. DBControlGrid: Minor bug fixes. avoid AV on form closure, avoid black panel |
250 |
> |
|
251 |
> |
18. TIBExtract: Data type of COMPUTED By columns is no longer included in SQL. |
252 |
> |
|
253 |
> |
19. Local database on Linux and with legacy API and FB 2.5 embedded server: fixed problem with password |
254 |
> |
not being present as required. |
255 |
> |
|
256 |
> |
20. IBTreeView split into DBTreeView and IBTreeView. This former is an IBX indepedent |
257 |
> |
version that can be customised to work with other database drivers. |
258 |
> |
|
259 |
> |
21. ISQLMonitor: use platform specific LineEnding to delimit messages. Avoids |
260 |
> |
unnecessary CR at end of line on Unix platforms. |
261 |
> |
|
262 |
> |
22. ISQLMonitor: Unix: Default semaphore timeout increased from 1 second to 10 |
263 |
> |
seconds in order to reduce risk of message loss. |
264 |
> |
|
265 |
> |
23. ISQLMonitor: read and write count statistics now available via: |
266 |
> |
property TIBSQLMonitor.ReadCount; |
267 |
> |
IIBSQLMonitorHook.GetWriteCount: integer; |
268 |
> |
|
269 |
> |
24. ISQLMonitor tidy up and unit split. IPC functions moved to new unit IBIPC. |

|
273 |
> |
1. TIBStringField: when a string value is read from a dataset buffer, if the |
274 |
> |
number of UTF8 characters exceeds the string size then string is truncated |
275 |
> |
to the maximum string size. This is usually a problem with fixed width columns |
276 |
> |
right padded with white space. |
277 |
> |
|
278 |
> |
2. SQLFiltered and SQLFilterParams added to TIBQuery, TIBTable and TIBDataset. |
279 |
> |
If SQLFiltered is set then when a dataset is opened, each line in the |
280 |
> |
SQLFilterParams property is assumed to be a SQL condition clause and |
281 |
> |
ANDed into the Where clause of the SQL Select statement provided as a |
282 |
> |
dataset property. Each such SQL condition thus acts as an additional filter |
283 |
> |
on the dataset. |
284 |
> |
|
285 |
> |
3. The Filtered property inherited from TDataset is no longer used for SQL (server |
286 |
> |
side filters). |
287 |
> |
|
288 |
> |
4. IBLookupComboEditBox: Selection should no longer reset to start of text when |
289 |
> |
text matches complete entry. |
290 |
> |
|
291 |
> |
5. TIBDataLink: Detail Dataset params not refreshed unless both master and detail |
292 |
> |
dataset are active (avoids risk of access violation if master is inactive) |
293 |
> |
|
294 |
> |
6. TIBEvents: Registered property can now be set at design time even if database not open |
295 |
> |
|
296 |
> |
7. TIBEvents: component now correctly re-initialised after call to UnregisterEvents. |
297 |
> |
This should prevent "spillover" of events between sessions. |
298 |
> |
|
299 |
> |
8. TIBCustomDataset: GetNextRecord now called when reseting to first record of a unidirectional dataset. |
300 |
> |
This should ensure that the internal buffer is set up correctly and avoids |
301 |
> |
a duplicate initial row. |
302 |
> |
|
303 |
> |
9. TIBStringField: DataSize now given as byte size of string less trailing any zero character. |
304 |
> |
That is, the DataSize should be the field size * character set width. The |
305 |
> |
value returned by DataSize is now the same as the Dataset buffer size reserved |
306 |
> |
for the field. |
307 |
> |
|
308 |
> |
10. IBExtract: Tidyup of SQL generation. Avoid unnecessary double quotes. |
309 |
> |
|
310 |
> |
11. TIBCustomDataset: Add checks on buffer sizes when copying data from row to field buffer |
311 |
> |
and vice-versa. This may result in an exception being raised (correctly) for |
312 |
> |
older programs when using dataset fields added to a form and the database has been |
313 |
> |
upgraded. For example, computed fields can change from 32-bit to 64-bit integers. |
314 |
> |
In such cases, the field needs to be deleted in the IDE fields editor and then |
315 |
> |
added back in. |
316 |
> |
|
317 |
> |
12. IBCustomDataSet: CanInsert, CanEdit, CanDelete and CanRefresh updated to return |
318 |
> |
false if query contains only white space and not just empty. |
319 |
> |
|
320 |

12. IBCustomDataset: Blob data is now cleared when TDataSet.Cancel is called. This |
321 |
> |
should ensure that (e.g.) a TDBMemo is correctly refreshed after a dataset edit |
322 |
> |
is cancelled. |
323 |
> |
|
324 |

13. IBCustomDataset: SetArrayIntf should no longer cause an access violation if |
325 |

called on a null field. |
326 |
> |
|
327 |
> |
14. IBCustomDataSet: An access violation should no longer occur when calling CancelUpdates |
328 |

results in an empty dataTC86 Client side Filtered Dataset 1 X |
329 |
> |
set. |
330 |
> |
|
331 |

15. IBCustomDataSet: OnUpdateError should now be called in all circumstances when |
332 |
> |
a cached update is applied and an exception is raised. |
333 |
> |
|
334 |
> |
16. IBCustomDataSet: Avoid access violation when SetBookmarkData called with nil pointer. |

IBX Change Log version (2.3-4 Build 12041) Fri, 17 Apr 2020 14:00:32 +0100 |
345 |
> |
|
346 |
> |
1. TIBXDataSet and Generators: Generator Names that are not all upper case or |
347 |
> |
not SQL Identifiers are now supported. |
348 |
> |
|
349 |
> |
2. TIBXScript: Set Generator is no longer rejected as unrecognised SQL and is |
350 |
> |
passed to the Firebird engine for execution. |
351 |
> |
|
352 |
> |
3. TIBDataSet: Unidirectional datasets now give an error message if an attempt |
353 |
> |
is made to scroll back. |
354 |
> |
|
355 |
> |
4. New unit: IBMessages.pas. Contains only messages used by IBX and not FBIntf |
356 |
> |
|
357 |
> |
5. TIBLookupComboEditBox: When generating auto-complete SQL, the ListField is now |
358 |
> |
only enclosed in double quotes in SQL dialect 3 and when it needs to be. |
359 |
> |
|
360 |
> |
6. TIBLookupComboEditBox: when the list source opens, the ListField name is now |
361 |
> |
validated. If no match is found in the list of field names and the database has |
362 |
> |
been opened in SQL Dialect 3, then the ListField Name is converted to upper case |
363 |
> |
if it then matches a field name. Otherwise, a Listfield not valid exception occurs. |
364 |
> |
|
365 |
> |
7. IBGeneratoreditor.pas: Add missing parenthesis around "IS" statement for compliance |
366 |
> |
with fpc 3.2. |

1. New property for TIBDatabase and TIBXServicesConnection. This is "ConfigOverrides" |
372 |
> |
and is used to override the default settings in the client side "firebird.conf" This |
373 |
> |
includes "WireCompression" and "WireCrypt". The value of this property is a "TStrings". |
374 |
> |
Each line of the string list should be a setting in the same format as "firebird.conf". |
375 |
> |
For example "WireCompression = true" in order to request wire compression on the client side. |
376 |
> |
|
377 |
> |
Note: explicit settings in the client side "firebird.conf" appear to take precedence |
378 |
> |
over settings given in TIBDatabase and TIBXServicesConnection. Many client side settings |
379 |
> |
also require a compatible setting in the server side "firebird.conf". For example |
380 |
> |
"WireCompression = true" must also be set in the server's "firebird.conf" for wire |
381 |
> |
compression to be used. |
382 |
> |
|
383 |
> |
Whether or not WireCompression or WireCrypt are in use can be checked using the information |
384 |
> |
returned with the Client/Server protocol version. See ibx/examples/dbadmin and |
385 |
> |
ibx/examples/dbinfo for examples of how to display this information. |
386 |
> |
|
387 |
> |
2. New property for TIBDatabase and TIBXServicesConnection: "WireCompression". This |
388 |
> |
is a "convenience" property. If set the "WireCompression=true" is added to the |
389 |
> |
ConfigOverrides. If unchecked then this setting is removed. |
390 |
> |
|
391 |
> |
3. TIBExtract: 64-bit integer types are now correctly extracted as "BIGINT" and |
392 |
> |
not "INT64". |
393 |
> |
|
394 |
> |
4. New published properties for TIBCSVDataOut, TIBInsertStmtsOut and TIBBlockFormatOut |
395 |
> |
These are: |
396 |
> |
property TimestampFormat: string; |
397 |
> |
property DateFormat: string; |
398 |
> |
property TimeFormat: string; |
399 |
> |
|
400 |
> |
Respectively, these provide the date time format templates for SQL types: TIMESTAMP, |
401 |
> |
DATETIME and TIME. The format strings use the standard FPC date/time format |
402 |
> |
characters (see https://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/rtl/sysutils/formatchars.html). |
403 |
> |
|
404 |
> |
If any of the above properties are set to an empty string, then the locale default |
405 |
> |
is used. This uses the ShortDateFormat and the LongTimeFormat. In timestamp, the |
406 |
> |
locale default is extended by appending '.zzz' to include milliseconds. |
407 |
> |
|
408 |
> |
TIBCSVDataOut by default sets these properties to the empty string, while the other |
409 |
> |
two use: 'yyyy.mm.dd hh:nn:ss.zzz', 'yyyy.mm.dd' and 'hh:nn:ss.zzz' respectively. |
410 |
> |
|
411 |
> |
5. New published property for TIBCSVDataOut: |
412 |
> |
property QuoteStrings: boolean (default true) |
413 |
> |
|
414 |
> |
If false then strings are unquoted, otherwise, the QuoteChar property value is |
415 |
> |
used to delimit each and every string in the output. |
416 |
> |
|
417 |
> |
6. New published properties for TIBCSVDataOut: |
418 |
> |
property FieldSeparator: string; |
419 |
> |
property HeaderSeparator: string; |
420 |
> |
|
421 |
> |
Respectively, these provide the separator character(s) used to separate fields |
422 |
> |
in data and header rows. Both default to ','. |
423 |
> |
|
424 |
> |
7. New published properties for TIBCSVDataOut and TIBBlockFormatOut: |
425 |
> |
TOnFormatTextString = procedure(sender: TObject; var TextString: string) of object; |
426 |
> |
property OnFormatTextString; |
427 |
> |
|
428 |
> |
This event handler can be used to process text strings before they are included |
429 |
> |
in the output e.g. to replace unprintable characters with alternative strings. |
430 |
> |
This only applies to columns with an SQL Type of SQL_VARYING and SQL_TEXT. |
431 |
> |
|
432 |
> |
8. TIBDataSet now raises an exception when ParamByName called with an invalid parameter name. |
433 |
> |
Uses "FindParam" if in order to find out if a parameter with a given name exists |
434 |
> |
and without raising and exception if it does not. |
435 |
> |
|
436 |
> |
9. TIBQuery now uses IBX SQL Parser instead of the TParams SQL parser in order to ensure |
437 |
> |
consistency with SQL queries. |
438 |
> |
|
439 |
> |
10. CaseSensitiveParameterNames property added to TIBSQL, TIBDataSet and TIBQuery. |
440 |
> |
When true, SQL statement parameter names are parsed case sensitive. Note for |
441 |
> |
TIBDataSet only applies to Select query. |
442 |
> |
|
443 |
> |
11. IBEvents: removing a TIBEvent component from a form should no longer result in |
444 |
> |
an IDE exception. |
445 |
> |
|
446 |
> |
12. LocalDBSupport: initial database creation should now work correctly |
447 |
> |
when the schema source is an sql file. |
448 |
> |
|
449 |
> |
13. TIBCMLocalDBSupport: new event handler "property OnProgressEvent: TOnProgressEvent" |
450 |
> |
when defined, this handler will be called by the internal TIBXScript during |
451 |
> |
initial database creation when the schema source is an sql file and may be used |
452 |
> |
to provide a visual indication of progress in console mode. |
453 |
> |
|
454 |
> |
14. TCustomIBLocalDBSupport: new public property "InOnCreateDB: boolean". This is set |
455 |
> |
to true while a new local database is being created and its schema populated. |
456 |
> |
Useful in (e.g.) TIBDatabase.OnAfterConnect handler to suppress actions |
457 |
> |
when the database is disconnected/connected during the create DB procedure. |
458 |
> |
|
459 |
> |
15. TIBXScript: any User/password parameters found in a CREATE DATABASE statement |
460 |
> |
are now always ignored and replaced by the user name and password provided as |
461 |
> |
the login parameters for the TIBDatabase referenced from the TIBXScript. The |
462 |
> |
IgnoreCreateDatabase property still applies and the CREATE DATABASE statement is |
463 |
> |
completely ignored if this property is true. |
464 |
> |
|
465 |
> |
16. Code tidyup in IBTreeView: Node properties initialisation moved from TIBTreeView.AddNodes |
466 |
> |
to TIBTreeView.Added. An OnAddition event handler is no longer needed to initialise |
467 |
> |
ImageIndex and SelectImageIndex values on AddNode. |
468 |
> |
|
469 |
> |
17. TIBDatabase.Attachment and TIBXServicesConnection.ServicesIntf properties are now |
470 |
> |
read/write. This should enabled (e.g.) multiple instances of TIBDatabase to share |
471 |
> |
the same database connection. |
472 |
> |
|
473 |
> |
18. TIBDataSet and TIBQuery now support the TDataSet "Filter" property. |
474 |
> |
if provided, this should be an conditional SQL expression suitable for |
475 |
> |
including in an SQL Select statement "where" clause. If non-empty and the |
476 |
> |
"Filtered" property is true then the SQL expression provided as the value of |
477 |
> |
the "Filter" property is "ANDed" with any existing condition statement |
478 |
> |
in the SQL statement's "Where" clause. |
479 |
> |
|
480 |
> |
If the "Filter" property is set at run time, the "Filtered" property is true |
481 |
> |
and the dataset is already open, then the dataset is closed and re-opened automatically. |
482 |
> |
|
483 |
> |
The "Filter" condition may include IBX style parameters. In which case, their |
484 |
> |
value must be set by the dataset's "OnBeforeOpen" event handler. |
485 |
> |
|
486 |
> |
This is a public property for TIBDataSet and TIBQuery query and intended for |
487 |
> |
use at run time. |
488 |
> |
|
489 |
> |
Note: The property is a published property of TIBTable. The TIBTable functionality |
490 |
> |
is unaffected by this change. |

IBX Change Log version (2.3-2) Wed, 05 Dec 2018 12:19:23 +0000 |
493 |
> |
|
494 |
> |
1. Remove need to check for IsMultiThread by providing access to GUI timers via |
495 |
> |
IBGUIInterface. Note: master/detail delay timer does not apply to console |
496 |
> |
mode apps. |
497 |
> |
|
498 |
> |
2. TIBCustomDataSet: SQLParser ignored if it does not contain a valid select |
499 |
> |
statement. This avoids problems if "Execute Block" is used as the Query. |
500 |
> |
|
501 |
> |
3. IBSQLParser now uses the common SQL tokeniser from fbintf. This replaces the |
502 |
> |
internal SQL tokeniser routines. |
503 |
> |
|
504 |
> |
4. IBSQLParser: new property NotaSelectStmt. Set to true if SQL fails to parse |
505 |
> |
as a select statement, with or without CTEs. |
506 |
> |
|
507 |
> |
5. IBSQLParser: parser now recognises the "ROWS" clause. |
508 |
> |
|
509 |
> |
6. TIBXScript now uses the common SQL tokeniser from fbintf. This replaces the |
510 |
> |
internal SQL tokeniser routines. |
511 |
> |
|
512 |
> |
7. Fix error in TIBXScript processing of "set" statements. This avoids exceptions |
513 |
> |
being raised for valid set statements processed by a data formatter. |
514 |
> |
|
515 |
> |
8. New published property for TIBDatabase and TIBXServicesConnection. This is |
516 |
> |
FirebirdLibraryPathName: string. If not empty it is used to explicitly specify |
517 |
> |
the path of the Firebird Library used by the database/services connection. |
518 |
> |
|
519 |
> |
9. New read only public property for TIBDatabase and TIBXServicesConnection. This |
520 |
> |
is FirebirdAPI and returns the IFirebirdAPI interface used by the database/ |
521 |
> |
services connection. |
522 |
> |
|
523 |
> |
10.SQL Property editors now quote parameter names if "Quote identifier" is selected |
524 |
> |
or param name is not a valid SQL identifier. |
525 |
> |
|
526 |
> |
11. IBLookupComboEditBox: In Lazarus 2.0, TDBLookupComboBox takes a more restrictive |
527 |
> |
view of whether the text box should be editable when no DataSource is specified. |
528 |
> |
TIBLookupComboEditBox has been updated to workaround this problem. As long as |
529 |
> |
ReadOnly is false, the text box is editable when no DataSource is specified. |
530 |
> |
|
531 |
> |
12. AllowUseOfFBLIB is now set to "true" at design time. This is to allow use of |
532 |
> |
the FBLIB environment variable. If you do not want to permit this then you |
533 |
> |
must modify the Register procedure in the design/IBDBReg.pas unit to remove |
534 |
> |
this setting. |

|
543 |

IMPORTANT: the source code tree has been re-organised for IBX 2.3. Please remove |
544 |
> |
all previous copies of the IBX source code tree before installing this release. |
545 |
> |
|
546 |
> |
The IBX packages used by most users have not changed, with one exception. The |
547 |
> |
IBServices unit has been moved to the package iblegacyServices.lpk. To continue |
548 |
> |
to use the IBServices unit in your applications, please add the iblegacyServices |
549 |
> |
to the list of dependencies. To do this, open the Project Inspector and select |
550 |
> |
Add->New Requirement and select "ibLegacyServices" from the list of available |
551 |
> |
packages. |
552 |
> |
|
553 |
> |
1. New unit IBXServices. The IBXServices unit is a re-architectured update of |
554 |
> |
the IBServices unit providing what is intended to be a clearer and easier to |
555 |
> |
use set of IB Services components. See Chapter 10 of the IBX User Guide for |
556 |
> |
more information and the guide to "Firebird Service Management Using IBX". |
557 |
> |
As indicated above, the legacy services components are still available and |
558 |
> |
provided in a separate package. There is no need to update working applications |
559 |
> |
using the older versions except for an additional package dependency. |
560 |
> |
|
561 |
> |
2. The IBX packages and source code tree have been re-organised in an attempt to |
562 |
> |
finally get rid of the "duplicate ppu" warnings. This re-organisation should |
563 |
> |
not affect existing users. Section 2.3 of the IBX User Guide describes the |
564 |
> |
new set of IBX packages. |
565 |
> |
|
566 |
> |
3. The ibx/examples/DBAdmin and the ibx/examples/services example have been |
567 |
> |
updated to use the new Services API components. |
568 |
> |
|
569 |
> |
4. The iblocal package has been updated to use the new Services API components. |
570 |
> |
|
571 |
> |
5. procedure SetAutoAdmin; in the new IBX Services this method is now a member of |
572 |
> |
TIBXSecurityService. It had been wrongly classified in the previous version |
573 |
> |
as a per database configuration item. It is global to a server and hence |
574 |
> |
correctly positioned as part of the Security Package. In the DBAdmin example, |
575 |
> |
the setting has moved to the mappings page. |
576 |
> |
|
577 |
> |
6. TIBXScript: IgnoreCreateDatabase added. If true then CREATE DATABASE statements |
578 |
> |
are ignored. |
579 |
> |
|
580 |
> |
7. TIBDatabase: DropDatabase now ensures that all transactions have been properly |
581 |
> |
closed before the database is dropped. Before and After Disconnect event handlers |
582 |
> |
are also fired. |
583 |
> |
|
584 |
> |
8. TIBTransaction: OnStartTransaction event now fires every time the transaction |
585 |
> |
is started and not just the first time. |
586 |
> |
|
587 |
> |
9. IBDataOutput: Use FormatFloat for all performance statistics to avoid platform |
588 |
> |
depenendency with comp type. |
589 |
> |
|
590 |
> |
10. IBDataOutput: select query data output is now sent to stdout instead of stderr. |
591 |
> |
|
592 |
> |
11. TIBDatabase: Remove regression. If a user login dialog changes the DatabaseName |
593 |
> |
then this is recognised and not ignored. |
594 |
> |
|
595 |
> |
12. TIBDataSet, TIBQuery, TIBTable: additions: |
596 |
> |
function GetRowsAffected(var SelectCount, InsertCount, UpdateCount, DeleteCount: integer): boolean; |
597 |
> |
function GetPerfStatistics(var stats: TPerfCounters): boolean; |
598 |
> |
property EnableStatistics: boolean read FEnableStatistics write SetEnableStatistics; |
599 |
> |
|
600 |
> |
GetRowsAffected returns the affected row counts from the last insert/update/delete |
601 |
> |
if EnableStatistics = true then GetPerfStatistics returns the current stats |
602 |
> |
counters for the select query. Note: stats accumulate after each fetch from |
603 |
> |
the database. To get total query cost after open, call the "Last" method |
604 |
> |
and then GetPerfStatistics. |
605 |
> |
|
606 |
> |
See ibx/examples/consolemode for an example of the use of GetPerfStatistics |
607 |
> |
|
608 |
> |
13. TIBExtract: Identity columns DDL. "Start with clause" now correctly encapsulated |
609 |
> |
in parenthesises. |
610 |
> |
|
611 |
> |
14. TIBExtract: new published property "AlwaysQuoteIdentifiers". If true then in dialect 3 |
612 |
> |
SQL identifiers are always delimited by double quotes. If false, then they are |
613 |
> |
only delimited if the identifier is a reserved word, contains lower case or special |
614 |
> |
characters. Set this property to true to retain previous behaviour. |
615 |
> |
|
616 |
> |
15. Insert SQL Property Editor. In Insert Returning Clause, Identity column names |
617 |
> |
are now inserted in double quotes if not Reserved Words or valid SQL Identifiers. |
618 |
> |
|
619 |
> |
16. TIBDataSet, TIBQuery, TIBTable: addition: |
620 |
> |
property MasterDetailDelay: integer {defaults to zero} |
621 |
> |
|
622 |
> |
When non-zero and the dataset is a detail table referencing a master table |
623 |
> |
through either a MasterSource (TIBTable) or a DataSource (TIBDataSet, TIBQuery) |
624 |
> |
then a synchronisation delay is added (in milliseconds) between the master |
625 |
> |
row changing and the detail dataset being re-opened. If the master dataset |
626 |
> |
is scrolled before the delay expires then the delay is reset. This can be used |
627 |
> |
to avoid performance overheads when scrolling through a large master dataset. |
628 |
> |
|
629 |
> |
Note: uses fptimer and hence requires a thread manager. Under Linux the |
630 |
> |
chreads unit must be included in your project. TTimer is not used in order |
631 |
> |
to avoid an LCL dependency. Requires FPC 3.0.2 or later. |
632 |
> |
|
633 |
> |
17. TIBExtract: User role grants now excluded when etGrantsToUser not specified |
634 |
> |
with Extract Option eoDatabase. |
635 |
> |
|
636 |
> |
18. TIBLookupComboEditBox: Workaround added for https://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=33428 |
637 |
> |
When a deLayoutChanged event is reported on the ListSource dataset, the |
638 |
> |
combobox text is updated. This allows a listsource (detail) to be in a Master/Detail |
639 |
> |
relationship with the control's datasource (master). |
640 |
> |
|
641 |
> |
19. TIBExtract: Full BigInt value range now supported for Generators/Sequences. |
642 |
> |
|
643 |
> |
20. TIBExtract: Select Procedures (Procedure type 1) now include "SUSPEND;" clause in their |
644 |
> |
stubs. Pedantic fix really, as procedures output in dependency order anyway. |
645 |
> |
|
646 |
> |
21. TIBExtract: Package Headers and Package Bodies are now included in the extracted |
647 |
> |
DDL (Firebird 3 and later only). |
648 |
> |
|
649 |
> |
22. TIBLookupComboBox Autocomplete Fixes: |
650 |
> |
i. Only appended text is now selected after autocomplete. |
651 |
> |
ii. Uppercase keys no longer ignored for autocomplete. |
652 |
> |
iii. Retain Prefix case is now honoured correctly. |
653 |
> |
iv. When a DataSource is assigned, typing after autocomplete now extends prefix |
654 |
> |
before autocomplete performed. i.e. behaviour now the same as when |
655 |
> |
no DataSource assigned. |
656 |
> |
|
657 |
> |
23. TIBXScript: Single Line Comments starting with '--' are now ignored when occurring |
658 |
> |
between SQL statements. |
659 |
> |
|
660 |
> |
24. TIBExtract: New published property CaseSensitiveObjectNames. If false (default) then |
661 |
> |
ObjectNames are converted to upper case before matching against metadata object |
662 |
> |
names, unless the objectname is delimited by double quotes, in which case, the |
663 |
> |
double quotes are removed and the remaining string is used (unmodified) to match |
664 |
> |
against the metadata object name. |
665 |
> |
|
666 |
> |
If true then the ObjectName is used as is without modification and matched |
667 |
> |
against the metadata object name. No attempt is made to remove double quotes. |
668 |
> |
|
669 |
> |
25. TIBExtract: New Extract Types: etDatabaseTriggers and etDDLTriggers. When used |
670 |
> |
with eoTrigger, these extract types can be used to select only Database Triggers, |
671 |
> |
or DDL Triggers or both. Ignored when etTable or etTrigger included in Extract Types. |
672 |
> |
|
673 |
> |
26. TIBXScript: If an exception occurs during the processing of a statement, the |
674 |
> |
statement separate character is now reset to the default (';'). |
675 |
> |
|
676 |
> |
27. TIBDatabase: Reconnect method added and used by TIBXScript for reconnect. |
677 |
> |
|
678 |
> |
28. TIBXScript: Transaction is no longer automatically reactivated immediately processing |
679 |
> |
a commit or reconnect statement and instead activated only when next SQL statement |
680 |
> |
is executed. |
681 |
> |
|
682 |
> |
29. TIBSQL.HasField should no longer generate and exception when the field does not exist. |
683 |
> |
|
684 |
> |
30. TIBXScript: case insensitive regex now used when matching statements instead of |
685 |
> |
converting statement to upper case. |
686 |
> |
|
687 |
> |
31. TIBExtract: metadata comments now supported. New published property |
688 |
> |
IncludeMetaDataComments (default true). If true then metadata comments included |
689 |
> |
in extracted DDL. New Extract Object member eoComments. This may be used with |
690 |
> |
ExtractObject method to list all metadata comments. |
691 |
> |
|
692 |
> |
32. TIBExtract: ListObjectNames method added. |
693 |
> |
|
694 |
> |
33. Updated Database component editor to support additional connection string |
695 |
> |
types. |

IBX Change Log version (2.2-0) Wed, 28 Feb 2018 10:57:45 +0000 |
698 |
> |
|
699 |
> |
NOTE: THE LOCATIONS OF SOME OF THE UNIT DIRECTORIES HAS CHANGED FROM IBX 2.1. THIS IS TO |
700 |
> |
AVOID DUPLICATE PPU WARNINGS. PLEASE REMOVE EARLIER VERSIONS OF IBX BEFORE INSTALLING THIS |
701 |
> |
RELEASE. |
702 |
> |
|
703 |
> |
NOTE: THE DBADMIN DEMO REQUIRES THAT THE MemDSLaz PACKAGE IS INSTALLED IN THE LAZARUS IDE. |
704 |
> |
|
705 |
> |
1. IBExtract: Identity columns - add additional check for null column for generator name. |
706 |
> |
|
707 |
> |
2. IBCustomDataSet: Insert and Modify (Update) queries now recognise and process SQL RETURNING clauses. |
708 |
> |
The main use for this is for Firebird 3 Identity columns (see IBXDocumentation 6.6.8 for further |
709 |
> |
information). However, this is also a very useful mechanism for returning updated computed by |
710 |
> |
column values. Values returned as a result of executing an Insert or Update statement |
711 |
> |
replace existing values in the current row for each corresponding column. |
712 |
> |
|
713 |
> |
Previously, if a dataset's select query included read only (computed by) fields then |
714 |
> |
an automatic row refresh was performed after an insert or update query had been processed, |
715 |
> |
irrespective of the setting of the "ForcedUpdates" property. This has changed such |
716 |
> |
that an automatic refresh is no longer performed if an insert or update query contains |
717 |
> |
a returning clause that updates one or more fields on the current row. A full row |
718 |
> |
refresh is only performed if (a) ForcedRefresh is true or (b) the query does not return any |
719 |
> |
field values and the select query contains read only fields. Use of Insert/update |
720 |
> |
returning should be significantly more efficient than executing a refresh query. |
721 |
> |
|
722 |
> |
This behaviour change is intended to be backwards compatible and there should be no need to change |
723 |
> |
existing programs, other than to improve performance by using the new capability. |
724 |
> |
|
725 |
> |
3. IBCustomDataSet: DELETE...RETURNING queries are now also recognised. However, as |
726 |
> |
they are called when the dataset row is being deleted, there is no value in |
727 |
> |
updating the current record from the query result. Instead, a new event handler |
728 |
> |
"OnDeleteReturning" is provided. If a DELETE...RETURNING query is execute and |
729 |
> |
an OnDeleteReturning event handler is provided then it is called with the IResults returned |
730 |
> |
by the query. The event handler can then interrogate the query results and |
731 |
> |
perform whatever action is necessary. For example to confirm, to the user, |
732 |
> |
the deletion of a row with the returned values. |
733 |
> |
|
734 |
> |
4. TIBTable: generated Insert and Update SQL now include a RETURNING clause for |
735 |
> |
any Computed By or Identity Columns. The IBTables example has been updated to |
736 |
> |
illustrate the computation of the employee Full Name on update. |
737 |
> |
|
738 |
> |
5. TIBTable: The GeneratorField property is now published. |
739 |
> |
|
740 |
> |
6. The InsertSQL property editor now shows Firebird 3 Identity columns separate from the Field List. |
741 |
> |
When InsertSQL is generated, the Identity columns are not included in the list of values to |
742 |
> |
be inserted. A RETURNING clause is added to the insert statement to return the value of |
743 |
> |
each Identity column after the insert is executed. |
744 |
> |
|
745 |
> |
7. The Modify Property Editor now generates Update SQL with Computed By fields in Update..Returning clause. |
746 |
> |
Similarly Insert Property Editor now generates Insert SQL with Computed By fields in |
747 |
> |
Insert..Returning clause. |
748 |
> |
|
749 |
> |
8. TIBGenerator: small performance improvement by not preparing query each time |
750 |
> |
a new value is generated. |
751 |
> |
|
752 |
> |
9. TIBSQL: Free resources when transaction changed - ensures new transaction is used. |
753 |
> |
|
754 |
> |
10. Property editors will now sync table name to a System Table when "Include System |
755 |
> |
Tables" is selected and the query is for a System Table. |
756 |
> |
|
757 |
> |
11. Minor Performance improvement to handling of Date/Time types in IBX datasets. Field |
758 |
> |
values are no longer converted to milliseconds from TDateTime and then back again |
759 |
> |
to TDateTime (the conversion to milliseconds is the default TDataset approach). |
760 |
> |
|
761 |
> |
12. Property Editors handling of Stored Procedures. |
762 |
> |
* Select and Refresh: only show a list of stored procedures that return multiple rows (proc type 1) and |
763 |
> |
which have a non-empty list of output parameters (i.e. stored procedures that may be used in a select |
764 |
> |
query). |
765 |
> |
* Modify and Insert: only show a list of stored procedures that return at most a singleton row (proc type 2). |
766 |
> |
|
767 |
> |
13. IBStoredProc: Now supports Firebird 3 Package Names. A new published property PackageName |
768 |
> |
can be used to select a package. If non-empty, the stored procedure name is |
769 |
> |
expected to be a stored procedure defined in the specified package and the |
770 |
> |
generated SQL will be as required for a stored procedure located in a package. |
771 |
> |
|
772 |
> |
14. Select, Refresh, Insert, Modify, Delete and TIBSQL SQL Property Editors now include |
773 |
> |
a "Package Name" drop down box to allow selection of a Firebird 3 Package from |
774 |
> |
which a stored procedure can be selected. With no package name selected, non-package |
775 |
> |
stored procedures are listed. |
776 |
> |
|
777 |
> |
15. TIBXScript: turn off database login prompt when reconnecting - this avoids prompting |
778 |
> |
for password on reconnect. |
779 |
> |
|
780 |
> |
16. TIBDatabase: use IAttachment for connection default character set id, code page |
781 |
> |
and character set name. |
782 |
> |
|
783 |
> |
17. TIBDatabaseInfo: cache ODS Version information on first request in order to minimise |
784 |
> |
DB info lookups" |
785 |
> |
|
786 |
> |
18. IBExtract: now supports DDL Triggers and Grants to DDL objects. |
787 |
> |
|
788 |
> |
19. Add a property Editor for TIBUpdate.RefreshSQL. |
789 |
> |
|
790 |
> |
20. IBUpdate: Ignore non-data (e.g. calculated) fields when assembling list of input |
791 |
> |
parameters. This stops an exception being raised when the field cannot be |
792 |
> |
located in the record buffer. |
793 |
> |
|
794 |
> |
21. Property Editors now automatically include System Tables when opened and when the query table |
795 |
> |
is a System Table. |
796 |
> |
|
797 |
> |
22. IBServices: SQRB and SRB buffers are now reset when service query throws an exception. |
798 |
> |
This avoids errors due to a stale SQRB or SRB being used for the next query. |
799 |
> |
|
800 |
> |
23. IBServices: Service attach parameters now include "expected_db". This is used to |
801 |
> |
add the SPB item isc_spb_expected_db. This names a database using |
802 |
> |
an alternative Security Database (FB3 onwards) and allows (e.g. backup/restore) using such a |
803 |
> |
database. examples/services re-written to illustrate use of "expected_db". |
804 |
> |
|
805 |
> |
24. IBServices: TIBControlAndQueryService.WriteNextChunk no longer ignores isc_info_svc_timeout. |
806 |
> |
This avoids truncated backups when the server returns a timeout (busy) response. |
807 |
> |
|
808 |
> |
25. TIBDatabase: isc_dpb_page_size now supported as a database parameter when using TIBDatabase.CreateDatabase. |
809 |
> |
|
810 |
> |
26. TIBDatabase: DatabaseName property may now be prefixed by $TEMP$ or $DATADIR$ for local |
811 |
> |
databasenames. These are respectively expanded to the local system's temp directory |
812 |
> |
(including trailing delimiter) or to a prescribed data directory (including |
813 |
> |
trailing delimiter). Under Unix systems the data directory is a hidden directory |
814 |
> |
in the user's home directory. The hidden directory name is either the string returned |
815 |
> |
from the SysUtils "Vendor Name" or "IBX" if empty. In either case prefixed by a '.'. |
816 |
> |
Under Windows, the directory is the same as the Data Directory as decribed |
817 |
> |
above but instead prefixed by the User's application data path. These may be |
818 |
> |
used to improve application portability for Personal Databases. |
819 |
> |
|
820 |
> |
27. TIBTable: FieldDefs property is no longer published. Due to the use of TIBFieldDef |
821 |
> |
this has not worked for a long time and is not useful either. FieldDefs should be |
822 |
> |
managed using the Fields Editor as with any other dataset. To access the fields |
823 |
> |
editor for a TIBTable component, double click on the component. The fields editor |
824 |
> |
is then displayed. |
825 |
> |
|
826 |
> |
28. TIBDatabaseInfo: new properties/function |
827 |
> |
* DateDBCreated (returns date/time database created) |
828 |
> |
* TransactionCount (returns no. of active transactions) |
829 |
> |
* GetDatabasePage(PageNo: integer) (returns contents of specified database page - SYSDBA only). |
830 |
> |
* PagesFree (Firebird 3 or later) |
831 |
> |
* PagesUsed (Firebird 3 or later) |
832 |
> |
* Encrypted (returns true if database encrypted. (Firebird 3.0.3 or later only) |
833 |
> |
* EncryptionKeyName (returns the name of the encryption key if any (Firebird 3.0.3 or later only) |
834 |
> |
|
835 |
> |
29. IBServices classes now provided the decoded release number in the (array) property ServerVersionNo. |
836 |
> |
|
837 |
> |
30. TIBSecurityService now supports display/modification of the User Admin Role (Firebird 2.5 and later). |
838 |
> |
|
839 |
> |
31. TIBConfigService now has a procedure SetAutoAdmin(Value: boolean) to enable/disable |
840 |
> |
the automtic mapping of privileged OS users to the RDB$ADMIN role (Firebird 2.5 and later). |
841 |
> |
|
842 |
> |
32. TIBBackupService: New Option - NoDBTriggers equivalent to -nodbtriggers switch introduced |
843 |
> |
in the gbak utility at V.2.1 to prevent database-level and transaction-level triggers from |
844 |
> |
firing during backup and restore. |
845 |
> |
|
846 |
> |
33. Both TIBBackupService and TIBRestoreService now support backup/restore statistics options |
847 |
> |
for verbose output using the new property "StatisticsRequested". |
848 |
> |
see https://firebirdsql.org/file/documentation/release_notes/html/en/2_5/rnfb25-util-gbak.html#rnfb25-util-gbakstats |
849 |
> |
|
850 |
> |
34. TIBRestoreService: now supports new options RestoreMetaDataOnly (Firebird 2.5 and later). |
851 |
> |
|
852 |
> |
35. TIBOnlineValidationService component added to the IBServices and the "Firebird Admin" |
853 |
> |
palette. This uses the online validation feature added in Firebird 2.5. The |
854 |
> |
services's properties enable inclusion/exclusion of tables and indexes using |
855 |
> |
regular expressions. See. |
856 |
> |
https://firebirdsql.org/file/documentation/release_notes/html/en/2_5/rnfb25-apiods-api.html#rnfb25-apiods-api-onlinevalidation |
857 |
> |
|
858 |
> |
36. IBServices: procedure TIBConfigService.SetNoLinger added to set no linger |
859 |
> |
option on a database. |
860 |
> |
|
861 |
> |
37. TIBCustomService: Assign method implemented to allow copying of service login |
862 |
> |
context between service API components. "Detach" method now only detaches |
863 |
> |
service when last reference to the service interface detaches. Tidy up of |
864 |
> |
code for SetActive and Attach methods including password hiding. |
865 |
> |
|
866 |
> |
38. TIBDatabase: new properties: AuthenticationMethod and RemoteProtocol. Read only |
867 |
> |
and used to determine the auth method and protocol used for the connection. |
868 |
> |
|
869 |
> |
39. TIBDatabase: ensure that SQLDialect setting is used when creating a database using |
870 |
> |
a Create Database Statement generated by IBX. |
871 |
> |
|
872 |
> |
40. All IBServices now have an additional published property "PortNo". This may |
873 |
> |
be set to a non-standard port number when necessary. If zero then the default |
874 |
> |
port number is used. |
875 |
> |
|
876 |
> |
41: TIBLookupComboeditBox: Ensure dataset updated when change selected with the keyboard |
877 |
> |
and not just the mouse. |
878 |
> |
|
879 |
> |
42. TIBCustomDataset: reopen query if already active when a TIBControlLink is added. |
880 |
> |
|
881 |

883 |
> |
|
884 |
> |
44. TIBExtract: new extract type (etGrantsToUser) for use with eoDatabase. If included |
885 |
> |
then database schema includes grants to all users. If not present then the |
886 |
> |
only user grants included are those to User PUBLIC. |
887 |
> |
|
888 |
> |
45. TIBTreeView: performance improvement. When expanding include both expanded node |
889 |

IBX Change Log version (2.1-0) Fri, 15 Dec 2017 12:20:11 +0000 |
893 |
> |
|
894 |
> |
1. IBCustomDataset: Minor change of PChar to PByte for compatibility with fbintf |
895 |
> |
changes. |
896 |
> |
|
897 |
> |
2. IBCustomDataset: Fixed use of incorrect datasize in TIBStringField.SetAsString. |
898 |
> |
Bug could result in truncated multi-byte character set values. |
899 |
> |
|
900 |
> |
3. Changes consequential on moving fbintf character set utility functions from |
901 |
> |
IFirebirdAPI to IAttachment. |

4. Avoid "Object is nil" error when opening a database with DefaultSystemCodePage = true |
904 |
> |
|
905 |
> |
5. IBLookupComboEditBox: avoid race condition when autocompleting text that occasionally |
906 |
> |
results in autocomplete ignoring prefix text. |
907 |

entering a new name into the text box. |
910 |
> |
|
911 |
> |
7. IBCustomDataset: ensure that TIBStringField uses the field size reported by |
912 |
> |
Firebird rather than recomputing it. |
913 |
> |
|
914 |
> |
8. Property Editor positioning tidy up: All IBX Property editors should now be |
915 |
> |
screen centre. Previously some were "poDesigned" which may be inappropriate |
916 |
> |
for multi monitor desktops. |
917 |
> |
|
918 |
> |
10. TIBTreeView.FindNode: protect against error if zero length path or empty tree node. |
919 |
> |
|
920 |
> |
11. TIBTransaction: On Force Disconnect do not raise an exception when problem ending |
921 |
> |
a transaction and always reset the object. |
922 |

> |
16. IBLocaldb: Drop database if error creating an empty database. |
933 |
> |
|
934 |
> |
17. TIBTreeView: improve performance when selecting node - avoid refreshing dataset |
935 |
> |
unless selected node not in current dataset. |
936 |
> |
|
937 |
> |
18. IBServices: SetDBParams method moved from TCustomIBLocalDBSupport (in IBLocalDB package) |
938 |
> |
to TIBCustomService, and IBlocalDB code tidy up. |
939 |
> |
|
940 |
> |
19. IBTreeView: Initialise TIBTreeNode KeyValue to null to avoid unpredictable |
941 |

behaviour due to uninitialised variable. |
942 |
> |
|
943 |

945 |
> |
|
946 |
> |
21. IBSQL: When Database changed ensure that all resources are freed. |
947 |
> |
|
948 |
> |
22. IBCustomDataset: When database changed ensure that queries an unprepared. |
949 |
> |
|
950 |
> |
23. SQL Property Editors now use SynEdit with SQL Highlighter. New features include: |
951 |
> |
* Line Wrap on SQL Token boundaries (on user command) |
952 |
> |
* auto-complete table names in drop down list of table names |
953 |
> |
* Double click on tablename or field name adds to SQL text |
954 |
> |
|
955 |
> |
24. IBDataOutput: print statistics using float (%f) format instead of decimal (%d). |
956 |
> |
|
957 |
> |
25. IBTreeView: Call to FindNode: param type change from "array of Variant" to |
958 |
> |
TVariantArray. Seems to avoid memory corruption in Windows (probably a |
959 |
> |
workaround for a problem in fpc 3.0.4 win64). |
960 |
> |
|
961 |
> |
26. IBDatabaseInfo: Code tidy up. Add check for database not assigned or not open. |
962 |
> |

IBX Change Log version (2.0-2) Fri, 24 Feb 2017 12:17:53 +0000 |
966 |
> |
|
967 |
> |
1. TIBDatabase.CreateDatabase: extract full DB Name from SQL using reg ex in order to |
968 |
> |
include remote system name. |
969 |
> |
|
970 |
> |
2. TIBExtract: No longer include comment header and COMMIT statement for empty |
971 |
> |
tables when data included in output. |
972 |
> |
|
973 |
> |
3. Profiling: IBSQL now has conditional compilation flags to enable query performance |
974 |
> |
and timing information to be written to stdout. This may be used to locate |
975 |
> |
performance bottlenecks. |
976 |
> |
|
977 |
> |
4. SQLParser: only call "OnChanging" event handler when value is different. |
978 |
> |
|
979 |
> |
5. IBDynamicGrid: Update handling of navigation keys for a TDateEdit |
980 |
> |
|
981 |
> |
6. IBCustomDataset: Set internalunprepared flag when transaction ends. This ensures |
982 |
> |
that BindFields is called when the query is next activated. Avoids FieldName |
983 |
> |
not found error. |
984 |
> |
|
985 |
> |
7. IBUpdate: This is a new IBX component similar to TIBUpdateSQL. It is more general |
986 |
> |
purpose and allows the programmer to define any action they want for Update, Insert |
987 |
> |
or Delete. This may be complex SQL (similar to a Trigger), application specific |
988 |
> |
filtering of updates, or use of statements such as Grant or Revoke instead of |
989 |
> |
normal DML. See User Manual for more information. |

|
1003 |
> |
5. TIBExtract: extract of individual Triggers and Stored Procedures can now include |
1004 |
> |
grants to these objects. |
1005 |
> |
|
1006 |
> |
6. TIBExtract: Stored Procedures and Views output in dependency order to avoid |
1007 |
> |
dependency problems restoring complex databases. |
1008 |
> |
|
1009 |
> |
7. TIBXScript: This component has been restructured to allow for the processing of |
1010 |
> |
embedded XML in INSERT statements and to support interactive sources in addition |
1011 |
> |
to non-interactive data sources such as files. |
1012 |
> |
|
1013 |
> |
8. TIBXScript: CREATE DATABASE, DROP DATABASE, CONNECT statements are now supported. |
1014 |

1025 |
> |
10. IBVersion unit added to hold current IBX Version Number information. |
1026 |
> |
|
1027 |

See also doc/IBX4LazarusGuide.pdf for important information on |
1040 |

upgrading to IBX2. |

1. Size property of TIBStringField is now the width in characters of the field |
1043 |
> |
and not the byte length. This applies only to multi-byte character sets such |
1044 |
> |
as UTF8. The original approach aligned with TStringField. However, the TStringField |
1045 |
> |
code is not recognised as a bug and hence this change to align the behaviour. |
1046 |
> |
The TStringField change is expected in fpc 3.2.0. |
1047 |
> |
|
1048 |
> |
2. A new property AutoFieldSize: boolean has been added to TIBStringField. When |
1049 |
> |
true (default) then Size property value saved in the lfm is ignored. Size is |
1050 |
> |
always set from the dynamic information read from the database. It is unclear |
1051 |
> |
why anyone would want to override this and set Size to false. |
1052 |
> |
|
1053 |
> |
3. ibxscript: should now handle correctly a Case..End statement within a procedure |
1054 |
> |
block. |
1055 |
> |
|
1056 |
> |
4. IBDatabase: new property - CreateIfNotExists. If true and database does not |
1057 |
> |
exist when an attempt is made to connect to it (run time only) then an attempt |
1058 |
> |
is made to create the database. |
1059 |
> |
|
1060 |
> |
5. IBDatabase: new event - OnCreateDatabase. This event is called after a database |
1061 |
> |
has been successfully created as a result of a call to CreateDatabase or when |
1062 |
> |
creating a database after it was found not to exist. |
1063 |
> |
|
1064 |
> |
6. DBControlGrid: a race condition could result in the wrong row image being |
1065 |
> |
written to the cache. This has been avoided by a trip round the message |
1066 |
> |
loop before rendering the row image. |
1067 |
> |
|
1068 |
> |
7. DBControlGrid: It is strongly recommended not to open the source DataSet for |
1069 |
> |
a DBControlGrid during a Form's "OnShow" event handler. Under GTK2 this is |
1070 |
> |
known to risk corrupt rendering of row images when the control is first |
1071 |
> |
displayed. If necessary use "Application.QueueAsyncCall" to delay opening |
1072 |
> |
of the dataset (see DBControlGrid examples) until the Form's Window has been created. |
1073 |
> |
|
1074 |
> |
8. DBControlGrid & IBDynamicGrid: Navigation keys should now work correctly with |
1075 |
> |
a TDateEdit control located on an editor panel. |
1076 |
> |
|
1077 |
> |
9. TIBExtract: brought up-to-date plus many bug fixes. |
1078 |
> |
|
1079 |
> |
10. DBControlGrid: Removed memory leak when updating rows. |
1080 |
> |
|
1081 |
> |
11. TIBCMLocalDBSupport: fixed invalid free on upgrade. |

1. IBCustomDataset: When calling SetCodePage, no longer request transliteration |
1086 |
> |
when target codepage is CP_NONE. This is a workaround for |
1087 |
> |
http://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=30622. |
1088 |
> |
|
1089 |
> |
2. DBLog option removed from TIBStatisticalService - not supported by server |
1090 |
> |
since Firebird 1.5. |
1091 |
> |
|
1092 |
> |
3. ibxscript: An error is no longer generated for "on commit preserve rows" or |
1093 |
> |
similar. |
1094 |
> |
|
1095 |
> |
4. IBCodePage: updated mapping between codepages and character id. |
1096 |
> |
|
1097 |
> |
5. ftWideString and ftWideMemo withdrawn. There is no UTF16 character set in |
1098 |
> |
Firebird. Character sets with a char width of two are not UTF16. |
1099 |
> |
|
1100 |
> |
6. Strings received from the database are now always transliterated into UTF8 |
1101 |
> |
regardless of the database character set or connection character set. This |
1102 |
> |
is for compatibility with the LCL. |
1103 |

1. IBBlob: Defer reading of blob until read method called. This avoids having to |
1107 |
|
read in an entire blob just to get the size of the blob. General performance |
