|
| 21 |
|
a returning clause that updates one or more fields on the current row. A full row |
| 22 |
|
refresh is only performed if (a) ForcedRefresh is true or (b) the query does not return any |
| 23 |
|
field values and the select query contains read only fields. Use of Insert/update |
| 24 |
< |
returning should be significantly more efficient than excuting a refresh query. |
| 24 |
> |
returning should be significantly more efficient than executing a refresh query. |
| 25 |
|
|
| 26 |
|
This behaviour change is intended to be backwards compatible and there should be no need to change |
| 27 |
|
existing programs, other than to improve performance by using the new capability. |

3. IBCustomDataSet: DELETE...RETURNING queries are now also recognised. However, as |
| 30 |
> |
they are called when the dataset row is being deleted, there is no value in |
| 31 |

updating the current record from the query result. Instead, a new event handler |
| 32 |
> |
"OnDeleteReturning" is provided. If a DELETE...RETURNING query is execute and |
| 33 |
> |
an OnDeleteReturning event handler is provided then it is called with the IResults returned |
| 34 |
> |
by the query. The event handler can then interrogate the query results and |
| 35 |
> |
perform whatever action is necessary. For example to confirm, to the user, |
| 36 |

the deletion of a row with the returned values. |

4. TIBTable: generated Insert and Update SQL now include a RETURNING clause for |
| 39 |
|
any Computed By or Identity Columns. The IBTables example has been updated to |
| 40 |
|
illustrate the computation of the employee Full Name on update. |

6. The InsertSQL property editor now shows Firebird 3 Identity columns separate from the Field List. |
| 45 |
|
When InsertSQL is generated, the Identity columns are not included in the list of values to |
| 46 |
|
be inserted. A RETURNING clause is added to the insert statement to return the value of |
| 47 |
|
each Identity column after the insert is executed. |

7. The Modify Property Editor now generates Update SQL with Computed By fields in Update..Returning clause. |
| 50 |
|
Similarly Insert Property Editor now generates Insert SQL with Computed By fields in |
| 51 |
|
Insert..Returning clause. |

11. Minor Performance improvement to handling of Date/Time types in IBX datasets. Field |
| 62 |
|
values are no longer converted to milliseconds from TDateTime and then back again |
| 63 |
|
to TDateTime (the conversion to milliseconds is the default TDataset approach). |
| 64 |

> |
12. Property Editors handling of Stored Procedures. |
| 66 |
|
* Select and Refresh: only show a list of stored procedures that return multiple rows (proc type 1) and |
| 67 |
|
which have a non-empty list of output parameters (i.e. stored procedures that may be used in a select |
| 68 |
|
query). |
| 69 |
|
* Modify and Insert: only show a list of stored procedures that return at most a singleton row (proc type 2). |
| 70 |
|
|
| 71 |
< |
12. IBStoredProc: Now supports Firebird 3 Package Names. A new published property PackageName |
| 71 |
> |
13. IBStoredProc: Now supports Firebird 3 Package Names. A new published property PackageName |
| 72 |
|
can be used to select a package. If non-empty, the stored procedure name is |
| 73 |
|
expected to be a stored procedure defined in the specified package and the |
| 74 |
|
generated SQL will be as required for a stored procedure located in a package. |
| 75 |
|
|
| 76 |
< |
13. Select, Refresh, Insert, Modify, Delete and TIBSQL SQL Property Editors now include |
| 76 |
> |
14. Select, Refresh, Insert, Modify, Delete and TIBSQL SQL Property Editors now include |
| 77 |
|
a "Package Name" drop down box to allow selection of a Firebird 3 Package from |
| 78 |
|
which a stored procedure can be selected. With no package name selected, non-package |
| 79 |
|
stored procedures are listed. |

15. TIBXScript: turn off database login prompt when reconnecting - this avoids prompting |
| 82 |
|
for password on reconnect. |
| 83 |
|
|
| 84 |
+ |
16. TIBDatabase: use IAttachment for connection default character set id, code page |
| 85 |
+ |
and character set name. |
| 86 |
+ |
|
| 87 |
+ |
17. TIBDatabaseInfo: cache ODS Version information on first request in order to minimise |
| 88 |
+ |
DB info lookups" |
| 89 |
+ |
|
| 90 |
+ |
18. IBExtract: now supports DDL Triggers and Grants to DDL objects. |
| 91 |
+ |
|
| 92 |
+ |
19. Add a property Editor for TIBUpdate.RefreshSQL. |
| 93 |
+ |
|
| 94 |
+ |
20. IBUpdate: Ignore non-data (e.g. calculated) fields when assembling list of input |
| 95 |
+ |
parameters. This stops an exception being raised when the field cannot be |
| 96 |
+ |
located in the record buffer. |
| 97 |
+ |
|
| 98 |
+ |
21. Property Editors now automatically include System Tables when opened and when the query table |
| 99 |
+ |
is a System Table. |
| 100 |
+ |
|
| 101 |
+ |
22. IBServices: SQRB and SRB buffers are now reset when service query throws an exception. |
| 102 |
+ |
This avoids errors due to a stale SQRB or SRB being used for the next query. |
| 103 |
+ |
|
| 104 |
+ |
23. IBServices: Service attach parameters now include "expected_db". This is used to |
| 105 |
+ |
add the SPB item isc_spb_expected_db. This names a database using |
| 106 |
+ |
an alternative Security Database (FB3 onwards) and allows (e.g. backup/restore) using such a |
| 107 |
+ |
database. examples/services re-written to illustrate use of "expected_db". |
| 108 |
+ |
|
| 109 |
+ |
24. IBServices: TIBControlAndQueryService.WriteNextChunk no longer ignores isc_info_svc_timeout. |
| 110 |
+ |
This avoids truncated backups when the server returns a timeout (busy) response. |
| 111 |
+ |
|
| 112 |
+ |
25. TIBDatabase: isc_dpb_page_size now supported as a database parameter when using TIBDatabase.CreateDatabase. |
| 113 |
+ |
|
| 114 |
+ |
26. TIBDatabase: DatabaseName property may now be prefixed by $TEMP$ or $DATADIR$ for local |
| 115 |
+ |
databasenames. These are respectively expanded to the local system's temp directory |
| 116 |
+ |
(including trailing delimiter) or to a prescribed data directory (including |
| 117 |
+ |
trailing delimiter). Under Unix systems the data directory is a hidden directory |
| 118 |
+ |
in the user's home directory. The hidden directory name is either the string returned |
| 119 |
+ |
from the SysUtils "Vendor Name" or "IBX" if empty. In either case prefixed by a '.'. |
| 120 |
+ |
Under Windows, the directory is the same as the Data Directory as decribed |
| 121 |
+ |
above but instead prefixed by the User's application data path. These may be |
| 122 |
+ |
used to improve application portability for Personal Databases. |
| 123 |
+ |
|
| 124 |
+ |
27. TIBTable: FieldDefs property is no longer published. Due to the use of TIBFieldDef |
| 125 |
+ |
this has not worked for a long time and is not useful either. FieldDefs should be |
| 126 |
+ |
managed using the Fields Editor as with any other dataset. To access the fields |
| 127 |
+ |
editor for a TIBTable component, double click on the component. The fields editor |
| 128 |
+ |
is then displayed. |
| 129 |
+ |
|
| 130 |
+ |
28. TIBDatabaseInfo: new properties/function |
| 131 |
+ |
* DateDBCreated (returns date/time database created) |
| 132 |
+ |
* TransactionCount (returns no. of active transactions) |
| 133 |
+ |
* GetDatabasePage(PageNo: integer) (returns contents of specified database page - SYSDBA only). |
| 134 |
+ |
* PagesFree (Firebird 3 or later) |
| 135 |
+ |
* PagesUsed (Firebird 3 or later) |
| 136 |
+ |
* Encrypted (returns true if database encrypted. (Firebird 3.0.3 or later only) |
| 137 |
+ |
* EncryptionKeyName (returns the name of the encryption key if any (Firebird 3.0.3 or later only) |
| 138 |
+ |
|
| 139 |
+ |
29. IBServices classes now provided the decoded release number in the (array) property ServerVersionNo. |
| 140 |
+ |
|
| 141 |
+ |
30. TIBSecurityService now supports display/modification of the User Admin Role (Firebird 2.5 and later). |
| 142 |
+ |
|
| 143 |
+ |
31. TIBConfigService now has a procedure SetAutoAdmin(Value: boolean) to enable/disable |
| 144 |
+ |
the automtic mapping of privileged OS users to the RDB$ADMIN role (Firebird 2.5 and later). |
| 145 |
+ |
|
| 146 |
+ |
32. TIBBackupService: New Option - NoDBTriggers equivalent to -nodbtriggers switch introduced |
| 147 |
+ |
in the gbak utility at V.2.1 to prevent database-level and transaction-level triggers from |
| 148 |
+ |
firing during backup and restore. |
| 149 |
+ |
|
| 150 |
+ |
33. Both TIBBackupService and TIBRestoreService now support backup/restore statistics options |
| 151 |
+ |
for verbose output using the new property "StatisticsRequested". |
| 152 |
+ |
see https://firebirdsql.org/file/documentation/release_notes/html/en/2_5/rnfb25-util-gbak.html#rnfb25-util-gbakstats |
| 153 |
+ |
|
| 154 |
+ |
34. TIBRestoreService: now supports new options RestoreMetaDataOnly (Firebird 2.5 and later). |
| 155 |
+ |
|
| 156 |
+ |
35. TIBOnlineValidationService component added to the IBServices and the "Firebird Admin" |
| 157 |
+ |
palette. This uses the online validation feature added in Firebird 2.5. The |
| 158 |
+ |
services's properties enable inclusion/exclusion of tables and indexes using |
| 159 |
+ |
regular expressions. See. |
| 160 |
+ |

| 161 |
+ |
|
| 162 |
+ |
36. IBServices: procedure TIBConfigService.SetNoLinger added to set no linger |
| 163 |
+ |
option on a database. |
| 164 |
+ |
|
| 165 |
+ |
37. TIBCustomService: Assign method implemented to allow copying of service login |
| 166 |
+ |
context between service API components. "Detach" method now only detaches |
| 167 |
+ |
service when last reference to the service interface detaches. Tidy up of |
| 168 |
+ |
code for SetActive and Attach methods including password hiding. |
| 169 |
+ |
|
| 170 |
+ |
38. TIBDatabase: new properties: AuthenticationMethod and RemoteProtocol. Read only |
| 171 |
+ |
and used to determine the auth method and protocol used for the connection. |
| 172 |
+ |
|
| 173 |
+ |
39. TIBDatabase: ensure that SQLDialect setting is used when creating a database using |
| 174 |
+ |
a Create Database Statement generated by IBX. |
| 175 |
+ |
|
| 176 |
+ |
40. All IBServices now have an additional published property "PortNo". This may |
| 177 |
+ |
be set to a non-standard port number when necessary. If zero then the default |
| 178 |
+ |
port number is used. |
| 179 |
+ |
|
| 180 |
+ |
41: TIBLookupComboeditBox: Ensure dataset updated when change selected with the keyboard |
| 181 |
+ |
and not just the mouse. |
| 182 |
+ |
|
| 183 |
+ |
42. TIBCustomDataset: reopen query if already active when a TIBControlLink is added. |
| 184 |
+ |
|
| 185 |
+ |
43. TIBTreeview: new ImageIndexField and SelectedIndexField Property allows the |
| 186 |
+ |
image index and selected image index for each node to be set from a database field. |
| 187 |
+ |
|
| 188 |
+ |
44. TIBExtract: new extract type (etGrantsToUser) for use with eoDatabase. If included |
| 189 |
+ |
then database schema includes grants to all users. If not present then the |
| 190 |
+ |
only user grants included are those to User PUBLIC. |
| 191 |
+ |
|
| 192 |
+ |
45. TIBTreeView: performance improvement. When expanding include both expanded node |
| 193 |
+ |
