|
| 3 |
> |
1. TIBStringField: when a string value is read from a dataset buffer, if the |
| 4 |
> |
number of UTF8 characters exceeds the string size then string is truncated |
| 5 |
> |
to the maximum string size. This is usually a problem with fixed width columns |
| 6 |
> |
right padded with white space. |
| 7 |
> |
|
| 8 |
> |
2. SQLFiltered and SQLFilterParams added to TIBQuery, TIBTable and TIBDataset. |
| 9 |
> |
If SQLFiltered is set then when a dataset is opened, each line in the |
| 10 |
> |
SQLFilterParams property is assumed to be a SQL condition clause and |
| 11 |
> |
ANDed into the Where clause of the SQL Select statement provided as a |
| 12 |
> |
dataset property. Each such SQL condition thus acts as an additional filter |
| 13 |
> |
on the dataset. (Not yet tested) |
| 14 |
> |
|
| 15 |
> |
3. The Filtered property inherited from TDataset is no longer used for SQL (server |
| 16 |
> |
side filters). |
| 17 |
> |
|
| 18 |
> |
4. IBLookupComboEditBox: Selection should no longer reset to start of text when |
| 19 |
> |
text matches complete entry. |
| 20 |
> |
|
| 21 |
> |
5. TIBDataLink: Detail Dataset params not refreshed unless both master and detail |
| 22 |
> |
dataset are active (avoids risk of access violation if master is inactive) |
| 23 |
> |
|
| 24 |
> |
6. TIBEvents: Registered property can now be set at design time even if database not open |
| 25 |
> |
|
| 26 |
> |
7. TIBEvents: component now correctly re-initialised after call to UnregisterEvents. |
| 27 |
> |
This should prevent "spillover" of events between sessions. |
| 28 |
> |
|
| 29 |
> |
8. TIBCustomDataset: GetNextRecord now called when reseting to first record of a unidirectional dataset. |
| 30 |
> |
This should ensure that the internal buffer is set up correctly and avoids |
| 31 |
> |
a duplicate initial row. |
| 32 |
> |
|
| 33 |
> |
9. TIBStringField: DataSize now given as byte size of string less trailing any zero character. |
| 34 |
> |
That is, the DataSize should be the field size * character set width. The |
| 35 |
> |
value returned by DataSize is now the same as the Dataset buffer size reserved |
| 36 |
> |
for the field. |
| 37 |
> |
|
| 38 |
> |
10. IBExtact: Tidyup of SQL generation. Avoid unnecessary double quotes. |
| 39 |
> |
|
| 40 |
> |
11. TIBCustomDataset: Add checks on buffer sizes when copying data from row to field buffer |
| 41 |
> |
and vice-versa. This may result in an exception being raised (correctly) for |
| 42 |
> |
older programs when using dataset fields added to a form and the database has been |
| 43 |
> |
upgraded. For example, computed fields can change from 32-bit to 64-bit integers. |
| 44 |
> |
In such cases, the field needs to be deleted in the IDE fields editor and then |
| 45 |
> |
added back in. |
| 46 |
> |
|
| 47 |
> |
12. IBCustomDataset: Blob data is now cleared when TDataSet.Cancel is called. This |
| 48 |
> |
should ensure that (e.g.) a TDBMemo is correctly refreshed after a dataset edit |
| 49 |
> |
is cancelled. |
| 50 |
> |
|

IBX Change Log version (2.3-4 Build 12041) Fri, 17 Apr 2020 14:00:32 +0100 |
| 52 |
> |
|
| 53 |
> |
1. TIBXDataSet and Generators: Generator Names that are not all upper case or |
| 54 |
> |
not SQL Identifiers are now supported. |
| 55 |
> |
|
| 56 |
> |
2. TIBXScript: Set Generator is no longer rejected as unrecognised SQL and is |
| 57 |
> |
passed to the Firebird engine for execution. |
| 58 |
> |
|
| 59 |
> |
3. TIBDataSet: Unidirectional datasets now give an error message if an attempt |
| 60 |
> |
is made to scroll back. |
| 61 |
> |
|
| 62 |
> |
4. New unit: IBMessages.pas. Contains only messages used by IBX and not FBIntf |
| 63 |
> |
|
| 64 |
> |
5. TIBLookupComboEditBox: When generating auto-complete SQL, the ListField is now |
| 65 |
> |
only enclosed in double quotes in SQL dialect 3 and when it needs to be. |
| 66 |
> |
|
| 67 |
> |
6. TIBLookupComboEditBox: when the list source opens, the ListField name is now |
| 68 |
> |
validated. If no match is found in the list of field names and the database has |
| 69 |
> |
been opened in SQL Dialect 3, then the ListField Name is converted to upper case |
| 70 |
> |
if it then matches a field name. Otherwise, a Listfield not valid exception occurs. |
| 71 |
> |
|
| 72 |
> |
7. IBGeneratoreditor.pas: Add missing parenthesis around "IS" statement for compliance |
| 73 |
> |
with fpc 3.2. |
| 74 |
> |
|
| 75 |
> |
IBX Change Log version (2.3-3 Build 11512) Fri, 28 Dec 2018 10:04:17 +0000 |

1. New property for TIBDatabase and TIBXServicesConnection. This is "ConfigOverrides" |
| 79 |
> |
and is used to override the default settings in the client side "firebird.conf" This |
| 80 |
> |
includes "WireCompression" and "WireCrypt". The value of this property is a "TStrings". |
| 81 |
> |
Each line of the string list should be a setting in the same format as "firebird.conf". |
| 82 |
> |
For example "WireCompression = true" in order to request wire compression on the client side. |
| 83 |
> |
|
| 84 |
> |
Note: explicit settings in the client side "firebird.conf" appear to take precedence |
| 85 |
> |
over settings given in TIBDatabase and TIBXServicesConnection. Many client side settings |
| 86 |
> |
also require a compatible setting in the server side "firebird.conf". For example |
| 87 |
> |
"WireCompression = true" must also be set in the server's "firebird.conf" for wire |
| 88 |
> |
compression to be used. |
| 89 |
> |
|
| 90 |
> |
Whether or not WireCompression or WireCrypt are in use can be checked using the information |
| 91 |
> |
returned with the Client/Server protocol version. See ibx/examples/dbadmin and |
| 92 |
> |
ibx/examples/dbinfo for examples of how to display this information. |
| 93 |
> |
|
| 94 |
> |
2. New property for TIBDatabase and TIBXServicesConnection: "WireCompression". This |
| 95 |
> |
is a "convenience" property. If set the "WireCompression=true" is added to the |
| 96 |
> |
ConfigOverrides. If unchecked then this setting is removed. |
| 97 |
> |
|
| 98 |
> |
3. TIBExtract: 64-bit integer types are now correctly extracted as "BIGINT" and |
| 99 |
> |
not "INT64". |
| 100 |
> |
|
| 101 |
> |
4. New published properties for TIBCSVDataOut, TIBInsertStmtsOut and TIBBlockFormatOut |
| 102 |
> |
These are: |
| 103 |
> |
property TimestampFormat: string; |
| 104 |
> |
property DateFormat: string; |
| 105 |
> |
property TimeFormat: string; |
| 106 |
> |
|
| 107 |
> |
Respectively, these provide the date time format templates for SQL types: TIMESTAMP, |
| 108 |
> |
DATETIME and TIME. The format strings use the standard FPC date/time format |
| 109 |
> |
characters (see https://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/rtl/sysutils/formatchars.html). |
| 110 |
> |
|
| 111 |
> |
If any of the above properties are set to an empty string, then the locale default |
| 112 |
> |
is used. This uses the ShortDateFormat and the LongTimeFormat. In timestamp, the |
| 113 |
> |
locale default is extended by appending '.zzz' to include milliseconds. |
| 114 |
> |
|
| 115 |
> |
TIBCSVDataOut by default sets these properties to the empty string, while the other |
| 116 |
> |
two use: 'yyyy.mm.dd hh:nn:ss.zzz', 'yyyy.mm.dd' and 'hh:nn:ss.zzz' respectively. |
| 117 |
> |
|
| 118 |
> |
5. New published property for TIBCSVDataOut: |
| 119 |
> |
property QuoteStrings: boolean (default true) |
| 120 |
> |
|
| 121 |
> |
If false then strings are unquoted, otherwise, the QuoteChar property value is |
| 122 |
> |
used to delimit each and every string in the output. |
| 123 |
> |
|
| 124 |
> |
6. New published properties for TIBCSVDataOut: |
| 125 |
> |
property FieldSeparator: string; |
| 126 |
> |
property HeaderSeparator: string; |
| 127 |
> |
|
| 128 |
> |
Respectively, these provide the separator character(s) used to separate fields |
| 129 |
> |
in data and header rows. Both default to ','. |
| 130 |
> |
|
| 131 |
> |
7. New published properties for TIBCSVDataOut and TIBBlockFormatOut: |
| 132 |
> |
TOnFormatTextString = procedure(sender: TObject; var TextString: string) of object; |
| 133 |
> |
property OnFormatTextString; |
| 134 |
> |
|
| 135 |
> |
This event handler can be used to process text strings before they are included |
| 136 |
> |
in the output e.g. to replace unprintable characters with alternative strings. |
| 137 |
> |
This only applies to columns with an SQL Type of SQL_VARYING and SQL_TEXT. |
| 138 |
> |
|
| 139 |
> |
8. TIBDataSet now raises an exception when ParamByName called with an invalid parameter name. |
| 140 |
> |
Uses "FindParam" if in order to find out if a parameter with a given name exists |
| 141 |
> |
and without raising and exception if it does not. |
| 142 |
> |
|
| 143 |
> |
9. TIBQuery now uses IBX SQL Parser instead of the TParams SQL parser in order to ensure |
| 144 |
> |
consistency with SQL queries. |
| 145 |
> |
|
| 146 |
> |
10. CaseSensitiveParameterNames property added to TIBSQL, TIBDataSet and TIBQuery. |
| 147 |
> |
When true, SQL statement parameter names are parsed case sensitive. Note for |
| 148 |
> |
TIBDataSet only applies to Select query. |
| 149 |
> |
|
| 150 |
> |
11. IBEvents: removing a TIBEvent component from a form should no longer result in |
| 151 |
> |
an IDE exception. |
| 152 |
> |
|
| 153 |
> |
12. LocalDBSupport: initial database creation should now work correctly |
| 154 |
> |
when the schema source is an sql file. |
| 155 |
> |
|
| 156 |
> |
13. TIBCMLocalDBSupport: new event handler "property OnProgressEvent: TOnProgressEvent" |
| 157 |
> |
when defined, this handler will be called by the internal TIBXScript during |
| 158 |
> |
initial database creation when the schema source is an sql file and may be used |
| 159 |
> |
to provide a visual indication of progress in console mode. |
| 160 |
> |
|
| 161 |
> |
14. TCustomIBLocalDBSupport: new public property "InOnCreateDB: boolean". This is set |
| 162 |
> |
to true while a new local database is being created and its schema populated. |
| 163 |
> |
Useful in (e.g.) TIBDatabase.OnAfterConnect handler to suppress actions |
| 164 |
> |
when the database is disconnected/connected during the create DB procedure. |
| 165 |
> |
|
| 166 |
> |
15. TIBXScript: any User/password parameters found in a CREATE DATABASE statement |
| 167 |
> |
are now always ignored and replaced by the user name and password provided as |
| 168 |
> |
the login parameters for the TIBDatabase referenced from the TIBXScript. The |
| 169 |
> |
IgnoreCreateDatabase property still applies and the CREATE DATABASE statement is |
| 170 |
> |
completely ignored if this property is true. |
| 171 |
> |
|
| 172 |
> |
16. Code tidyup in IBTreeView: Node properties initialisation moved from TIBTreeView.AddNodes |
| 173 |
> |
to TIBTreeView.Added. An OnAddition event handler is no longer needed to initialise |
| 174 |
> |
ImageIndex and SelectImageIndex values on AddNode. |
| 175 |
> |
|
| 176 |
> |
17. TIBDatabase.Attachment and TIBXServicesConnection.ServicesIntf properties are now |
| 177 |
> |
read/write. This should enabled (e.g.) multiple instances of TIBDatabase to share |
| 178 |
> |
the same database connection. |
| 179 |
> |
|
| 180 |
> |
18. TIBDataSet and TIBQuery now support the TDataSet "Filter" property. |
| 181 |
> |
if provided, this should be an conditional SQL expression suitable for |
| 182 |
> |
including in an SQL Select statement "where" clause. If non-empty and the |
| 183 |
> |
"Filtered" property is true then the SQL expression provided as the value of |
| 184 |
> |
the "Filter" property is "ANDed" with any existing condition statement |
| 185 |
> |
in the SQL statement's "Where" clause. |
| 186 |
> |
|
| 187 |
> |
If the "Filter" property is set at run time, the "Filtered" property is true |
| 188 |
> |
and the dataset is already open, then the dataset is closed and re-opened automatically. |
| 189 |
> |
|
| 190 |
> |
The "Filter" condition may include IBX style parameters. In which case, their |
| 191 |
> |
value must be set by the dataset's "OnBeforeOpen" event handler. |
| 192 |
> |
|
| 193 |
> |
This is a public property for TIBDataSet and TIBQuery query and intended for |
| 194 |
> |
use at run time. |
| 195 |
> |
|
| 196 |
> |
Note: The property is a published property of TIBTable. The TIBTable functionality |
| 197 |
> |
is unaffected by this change. |
| 198 |

IBX Change Log version (2.3-2) Wed, 05 Dec 2018 12:19:23 +0000 |
| 200 |
> |
|
| 201 |
> |
1. Remove need to check for IsMultiThread by providing access to GUI timers via |
| 202 |
> |
IBGUIInterface. Note: master/detail delay timer does not apply to console |
| 203 |
> |
mode apps. |
| 204 |
> |
|
| 205 |
> |
2. TIBCustomDataSet: SQLParser ignored if it does not contain a valid select |
| 206 |
> |
statement. This avoids problems if "Execute Block" is used as the Query. |
| 207 |
> |
|
| 208 |
> |
3. IBSQLParser now uses the common SQL tokeniser from fbintf. This replaces the |
| 209 |
> |
internal SQL tokeniser routines. |
| 210 |
> |
|
| 211 |
> |
4. IBSQLParser: new property NotaSelectStmt. Set to true if SQL fails to parse |
| 212 |
> |
as a select statement, with or without CTEs. |
| 213 |
> |
|
| 214 |
> |
5. IBSQLParser: parser now recognises the "ROWS" clause. |
| 215 |
> |
|
| 216 |
> |
6. TIBXScript now uses the common SQL tokeniser from fbintf. This replaces the |
| 217 |
> |
internal SQL tokeniser routines. |
| 218 |
> |
|
| 219 |
> |
7. Fix error in TIBXScript processing of "set" statements. This avoids exceptions |
| 220 |
> |
being raised for valid set statements processed by a data formatter. |
| 221 |
> |
|
| 222 |
> |
8. New published property for TIBDatabase and TIBXServicesConnection. This is |
| 223 |
> |
FirebirdLibraryPathName: string. If not empty it is used to explicitly specify |
| 224 |
> |
the path of the Firebird Library used by the database/services connection. |
| 225 |
> |
|
| 226 |
> |
9. New read only public property for TIBDatabase and TIBXServicesConnection. This |
| 227 |
> |
is FirebirdAPI and returns the IFirebirdAPI interface used by the database/ |
| 228 |
> |
services connection. |
| 229 |
> |
|
| 230 |
> |
10.SQL Property editors now quote parameter names if "Quote identifier" is selected |
| 231 |
> |
or param name is not a valid SQL identifier. |
| 232 |
> |
|
| 233 |
> |
11. IBLookupComboEditBox: In Lazarus 2.0, TDBLookupComboBox takes a more restrictive |
| 234 |
> |
view of whether the text box should be editable when no DataSource is specified. |
| 235 |
> |
TIBLookupComboEditBox has been updated to workaround this problem. As long as |
| 236 |
> |
ReadOnly is false, the text box is editable when no DataSource is specified. |
| 237 |
> |
|
| 238 |
> |
12. AllowUseOfFBLIB is now set to "true" at design time. This is to allow use of |
| 239 |
> |
the FBLIB environment variable. If you do not want to permit this then you |
| 240 |
> |
must modify the Register procedure in the design/IBDBReg.pas unit to remove |
| 241 |
> |
this setting. |
| 242 |

IMPORTANT: the source code tree has been re-organised for IBX 2.3. Please remove |
| 251 |
> |
all previous copies of the IBX source code tree before installing this release. |
| 252 |
> |
|
| 253 |
> |
The IBX packages used by most users have not changed, with one exception. The |
| 254 |
> |
IBServices unit has been moved to the package iblegacyServices.lpk. To continue |
| 255 |
> |
to use the IBServices unit in your applications, please add the iblegacyServices |
| 256 |
> |
to the list of dependencies. To do this, open the Project Inspector and select |
| 257 |
> |
Add->New Requirement and select "ibLegacyServices" from the list of available |
| 258 |
> |
packages. |
| 259 |
> |
|
| 260 |
> |
1. New unit IBXServices. The IBXServices unit is a re-architectured update of |
| 261 |
> |
the IBServices unit providing what is intended to be a clearer and easier to |
| 262 |
> |
use set of IB Services components. See Chapter 10 of the IBX User Guide for |
| 263 |
> |
more information and the guide to "Firebird Service Management Using IBX". |
| 264 |
> |
As indicated above, the legacy services components are still available and |
| 265 |
> |
provided in a separate package. There is no need to update working applications |
| 266 |
> |
using the older versions except for an additional package dependency. |
| 267 |
> |
|
| 268 |
> |
2. The IBX packages and source code tree have been re-organised in an attempt to |
| 269 |
> |
finally get rid of the "duplicate ppu" warnings. This re-organisation should |
| 270 |
> |
not affect existing users. Section 2.3 of the IBX User Guide describes the |
| 271 |
> |
new set of IBX packages. |
| 272 |
> |
|
| 273 |
> |
3. The ibx/examples/DBAdmin and the ibx/examples/services example have been |
| 274 |
> |
updated to use the new Services API components. |
| 275 |
> |
|
| 276 |
> |
4. The iblocal package has been updated to use the new Services API components. |
| 277 |
> |
|
| 278 |
> |
5. procedure SetAutoAdmin; in the new IBX Services this method is now a member of |
| 279 |
> |
TIBXSecurityService. It had been wrongly classified in the previous version |
| 280 |
> |
as a per database configuration item. It is global to a server and hence |
| 281 |
> |
correctly positioned as part of the Security Package. In the DBAdmin example, |
| 282 |
> |
the setting has moved to the mappings page. |
| 283 |
> |
|
| 284 |
> |
6. TIBXScript: IgnoreCreateDatabase added. If true then CREATE DATABASE statements |
| 285 |
> |
are ignored. |
| 286 |
> |
|
| 287 |
> |
7. TIBDatabase: DropDatabase now ensures that all transactions have been properly |
| 288 |
> |
closed before the database is dropped. Before and After Disconnect event handlers |
| 289 |
> |
are also fired. |
| 290 |
> |
|
| 291 |
> |
8. TIBTransaction: OnStartTransaction event now fires every time the transaction |
| 292 |
> |
is started and not just the first time. |
| 293 |
> |
|
| 294 |
> |
9. IBDataOutput: Use FormatFloat for all performance statistics to avoid platform |
| 295 |
> |
depenendency with comp type. |
| 296 |
> |
|
| 297 |
> |
10. IBDataOutput: select query data output is now sent to stdout instead of stderr. |
| 298 |
> |
|
| 299 |
> |
11. TIBDatabase: Remove regression. If a user login dialog changes the DatabaseName |
| 300 |
> |
then this is recognised and not ignored. |
| 301 |
> |
|
| 302 |
> |
12. TIBDataSet, TIBQuery, TIBTable: additions: |
| 303 |
> |
function GetRowsAffected(var SelectCount, InsertCount, UpdateCount, DeleteCount: integer): boolean; |
| 304 |
> |
function GetPerfStatistics(var stats: TPerfCounters): boolean; |
| 305 |
> |
property EnableStatistics: boolean read FEnableStatistics write SetEnableStatistics; |
| 306 |
> |
|
| 307 |
> |
GetRowsAffected returns the affected row counts from the last insert/update/delete |
| 308 |
> |
if EnableStatistics = true then GetPerfStatistics returns the current stats |
| 309 |
> |
counters for the select query. Note: stats accumulate after each fetch from |
| 310 |
> |
the database. To get total query cost after open, call the "Last" method |
| 311 |
> |
and then GetPerfStatistics. |
| 312 |

See ibx/examples/consolemode for an example of the use of GetPerfStatistics |
| 314 |
> |
|
| 315 |
> |
13. TIBExtract: Identity columns DDL. "Start with clause" now correctly encapsulated |
| 316 |
> |
in parenthesises. |
| 317 |
> |
|
| 318 |
> |
14. TIBExtract: new published property "AlwaysQuoteIdentifiers". If true then in dialect 3 |
| 319 |
> |
SQL identifiers are always delimited by double quotes. If false, then they are |
| 320 |
> |
only delimited if the identifier is a reserved word, contains lower case or special |
| 321 |
> |
characters. Set this property to true to retain previous behaviour. |
| 322 |
> |
|
| 323 |
> |
15. Insert SQL Property Editor. In Insert Returning Clause, Identity column names |
| 324 |
> |
are now inserted in double quotes if not Reserved Words or valid SQL Identifiers. |
| 325 |
> |
|
| 326 |
> |
16. TIBDataSet, TIBQuery, TIBTable: addition: |
| 327 |
> |
property MasterDetailDelay: integer {defaults to zero} |
| 328 |
> |
|
| 329 |
> |
When non-zero and the dataset is a detail table referencing a master table |
| 330 |
> |
through either a MasterSource (TIBTable) or a DataSource (TIBDataSet, TIBQuery) |
| 331 |
> |
then a synchronisation delay is added (in milliseconds) between the master |
| 332 |
> |
row changing and the detail dataset being re-opened. If the master dataset |
| 333 |
> |
is scrolled before the delay expires then the delay is reset. This can be used |
| 334 |
> |
to avoid performance overheads when scrolling through a large master dataset. |
| 335 |
> |
|
| 336 |
> |
Note: uses fptimer and hence requires a thread manager. Under Linux the |
| 337 |
> |
chreads unit must be included in your project. TTimer is not used in order |
| 338 |
> |
to avoid an LCL dependency. Requires FPC 3.0.2 or later. |
| 339 |
> |
|
| 340 |
> |
17. TIBExtract: User role grants now excluded when etGrantsToUser not specified |
| 341 |
> |
with Extract Option eoDatabase. |
| 342 |
> |
|
| 343 |
> |
18. TIBLookupComboEditBox: Workaround added for https://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=33428 |
| 344 |
> |
When a deLayoutChanged event is reported on the ListSource dataset, the |
| 345 |
> |
combobox text is updated. This allows a listsource (detail) to be in a Master/Detail |
| 346 |
> |
relationship with the control's datasource (master). |
| 347 |
> |
|
| 348 |
> |
19. TIBExtract: Full BigInt value range now supported for Generators/Sequences. |
| 349 |
> |
|
| 350 |
> |
20. TIBExtract: Select Procedures (Procedure type 1) now include "SUSPEND;" clause in their |
| 351 |
> |
stubs. Pedantic fix really, as procedures output in dependency order anyway. |
| 352 |
> |
|
| 353 |
> |
21. TIBExtract: Package Headers and Package Bodies are now included in the extracted |
| 354 |
> |
DDL (Firebird 3 and later only). |
| 355 |
> |
|
| 356 |
> |
22. TIBLookupComboBox Autocomplete Fixes: |
| 357 |
> |
i. Only appended text is now selected after autocomplete. |
| 358 |
> |
ii. Uppercase keys no longer ignored for autocomplete. |
| 359 |
> |
iii. Retain Prefix case is now honoured correctly. |
| 360 |
> |
iv. When a DataSource is assigned, typing after autocomplete now extends prefix |
| 361 |
> |
before autocomplete performed. i.e. behaviour now the same as when |
| 362 |
> |
no DataSource assigned. |
| 363 |
> |
|
| 364 |
> |
23. TIBXScript: Single Line Comments starting with '--' are now ignored when occurring |
| 365 |
> |
between SQL statements. |
| 366 |
> |
|
| 367 |
> |
24. TIBExtract: New published property CaseSensitiveObjectNames. If false (default) then |
| 368 |
> |
ObjectNames are converted to upper case before matching against metadata object |
| 369 |
> |
names, unless the objectname is delimited by double quotes, in which case, the |
| 370 |
> |
double quotes are removed and the remaining string is used (unmodified) to match |
| 371 |
> |
against the metadata object name. |
| 372 |
> |
|
| 373 |
> |
If true then the ObjectName is used as is without modification and matched |
| 374 |
> |
against the metadata object name. No attempt is made to remove double quotes. |
| 375 |
> |
|
| 376 |
> |
25. TIBExtract: New Extract Types: etDatabaseTriggers and etDDLTriggers. When used |
| 377 |
> |
with eoTrigger, these extract types can be used to select only Database Triggers, |
| 378 |
> |
or DDL Triggers or both. Ignored when etTable or etTrigger included in Extract Types. |
| 379 |
> |
|
| 380 |
> |
26. TIBXScript: If an exception occurs during the processing of a statement, the |
| 381 |
> |
statement separate character is now reset to the default (';'). |
| 382 |
> |
|
| 383 |
> |
27. TIBDatabase: Reconnect method added and used by TIBXScript for reconnect. |
| 384 |
> |
|
| 385 |
> |
28. TIBXScript: Transaction is no longer automatically reactivated immediately processing |
| 386 |
> |
a commit or reconnect statement and instead activated only when next SQL statement |
| 387 |
> |
is executed. |
| 388 |
> |
|
| 389 |
> |
29. TIBSQL.HasField should no longer generate and exception when the field does not exist. |
| 390 |
> |
|
| 391 |
> |
30. TIBXScript: case insensitive regex now used when matching statements instead of |
| 392 |
> |
converting statement to upper case. |
| 393 |
> |
|
| 394 |
> |
31. TIBExtract: metadata comments now supported. New published property |
| 395 |
> |
IncludeMetaDataComments (default true). If true then metadata comments included |
| 396 |
> |
in extracted DDL. New Extract Object member eoComments. This may be used with |
| 397 |
> |
ExtractObject method to list all metadata comments. |
| 398 |
> |
|
| 399 |
> |
32. TIBExtract: ListObjectNames method added. |
| 400 |
> |
|
| 401 |
> |
33. Updated Database component editor to support additional connection string |
| 402 |
> |
types. |
| 403 |

IBX Change Log version (2.2-0) Wed, 28 Feb 2018 10:57:45 +0000 |
| 405 |
> |
|
| 406 |
> |
NOTE: THE LOCATIONS OF SOME OF THE UNIT DIRECTORIES HAS CHANGED FROM IBX 2.1. THIS IS TO |
| 407 |
> |
AVOID DUPLICATE PPU WARNINGS. PLEASE REMOVE EARLIER VERSIONS OF IBX BEFORE INSTALLING THIS |
| 408 |
> |
RELEASE. |
| 409 |
> |
|
| 410 |
> |
NOTE: THE DBADMIN DEMO REQUIRES THAT THE MemDSLaz PACKAGE IS INSTALLED IN THE LAZARUS IDE. |
| 411 |
> |
|
| 412 |
> |
1. IBExtract: Identity columns - add additional check for null column for generator name. |
| 413 |
> |
|
| 414 |
> |
2. IBCustomDataSet: Insert and Modify (Update) queries now recognise and process SQL RETURNING clauses. |
| 415 |
> |
The main use for this is for Firebird 3 Identity columns (see IBXDocumentation 6.6.8 for further |
| 416 |
> |
information). However, this is also a very useful mechanism for returning updated computed by |
| 417 |
> |
column values. Values returned as a result of executing an Insert or Update statement |
| 418 |
> |
replace existing values in the current row for each corresponding column. |
| 419 |
> |
|
| 420 |
> |
Previously, if a dataset's select query included read only (computed by) fields then |
| 421 |
> |
an automatic row refresh was performed after an insert or update query had been processed, |
| 422 |
> |
irrespective of the setting of the "ForcedUpdates" property. This has changed such |
| 423 |
> |
that an automatic refresh is no longer performed if an insert or update query contains |
| 424 |
> |
a returning clause that updates one or more fields on the current row. A full row |
| 425 |
> |
refresh is only performed if (a) ForcedRefresh is true or (b) the query does not return any |
| 426 |
> |
field values and the select query contains read only fields. Use of Insert/update |
| 427 |
> |
returning should be significantly more efficient than executing a refresh query. |
| 428 |
> |
|
| 429 |
> |
This behaviour change is intended to be backwards compatible and there should be no need to change |
| 430 |
> |
existing programs, other than to improve performance by using the new capability. |
| 431 |
> |
|
| 432 |
> |
3. IBCustomDataSet: DELETE...RETURNING queries are now also recognised. However, as |
| 433 |
> |
they are called when the dataset row is being deleted, there is no value in |
| 434 |
> |
updating the current record from the query result. Instead, a new event handler |
| 435 |
> |
"OnDeleteReturning" is provided. If a DELETE...RETURNING query is execute and |
| 436 |
> |
an OnDeleteReturning event handler is provided then it is called with the IResults returned |
| 437 |
> |
by the query. The event handler can then interrogate the query results and |
| 438 |
> |
perform whatever action is necessary. For example to confirm, to the user, |
| 439 |
> |
the deletion of a row with the returned values. |
| 440 |
> |
|
| 441 |
> |
4. TIBTable: generated Insert and Update SQL now include a RETURNING clause for |
| 442 |
> |
any Computed By or Identity Columns. The IBTables example has been updated to |
| 443 |
> |
illustrate the computation of the employee Full Name on update. |
| 444 |
> |
|
| 445 |
> |
5. TIBTable: The GeneratorField property is now published. |
| 446 |
> |
|
| 447 |
> |
6. The InsertSQL property editor now shows Firebird 3 Identity columns separate from the Field List. |
| 448 |
> |
When InsertSQL is generated, the Identity columns are not included in the list of values to |
| 449 |
> |
be inserted. A RETURNING clause is added to the insert statement to return the value of |
| 450 |
> |
each Identity column after the insert is executed. |
| 451 |
> |
|
| 452 |
> |
7. The Modify Property Editor now generates Update SQL with Computed By fields in Update..Returning clause. |
| 453 |
> |
Similarly Insert Property Editor now generates Insert SQL with Computed By fields in |
| 454 |
> |
Insert..Returning clause. |
| 455 |
> |
|
| 456 |
> |
8. TIBGenerator: small performance improvement by not preparing query each time |
| 457 |
> |
a new value is generated. |
| 458 |
> |
|
| 459 |
> |
9. TIBSQL: Free resources when transaction changed - ensures new transaction is used. |
| 460 |
> |
|
| 461 |
> |
10. Property editors will now sync table name to a System Table when "Include System |
| 462 |
> |
Tables" is selected and the query is for a System Table. |
| 463 |
> |
|
| 464 |
> |
11. Minor Performance improvement to handling of Date/Time types in IBX datasets. Field |
| 465 |
> |
values are no longer converted to milliseconds from TDateTime and then back again |
| 466 |
> |
to TDateTime (the conversion to milliseconds is the default TDataset approach). |
| 467 |
> |
|
| 468 |
> |
12. Property Editors handling of Stored Procedures. |
| 469 |
> |
* Select and Refresh: only show a list of stored procedures that return multiple rows (proc type 1) and |
| 470 |
> |
which have a non-empty list of output parameters (i.e. stored procedures that may be used in a select |
| 471 |
> |
query). |
| 472 |
> |
* Modify and Insert: only show a list of stored procedures that return at most a singleton row (proc type 2). |
| 473 |
> |
|
| 474 |
> |
13. IBStoredProc: Now supports Firebird 3 Package Names. A new published property PackageName |
| 475 |
> |
can be used to select a package. If non-empty, the stored procedure name is |
| 476 |
> |
expected to be a stored procedure defined in the specified package and the |
| 477 |
> |
generated SQL will be as required for a stored procedure located in a package. |
| 478 |
> |
|
| 479 |
> |
14. Select, Refresh, Insert, Modify, Delete and TIBSQL SQL Property Editors now include |
| 480 |
> |
a "Package Name" drop down box to allow selection of a Firebird 3 Package from |
| 481 |
> |
which a stored procedure can be selected. With no package name selected, non-package |
| 482 |
> |
stored procedures are listed. |
| 483 |
> |
|
| 484 |
> |
15. TIBXScript: turn off database login prompt when reconnecting - this avoids prompting |
| 485 |
> |
for password on reconnect. |
| 486 |
> |
|
| 487 |
> |
16. TIBDatabase: use IAttachment for connection default character set id, code page |
| 488 |
> |
and character set name. |
| 489 |
> |
|
| 490 |
> |
17. TIBDatabaseInfo: cache ODS Version information on first request in order to minimise |
| 491 |
> |
DB info lookups" |
| 492 |
> |
|
| 493 |
> |
18. IBExtract: now supports DDL Triggers and Grants to DDL objects. |
| 494 |
> |
|
| 495 |
> |
19. Add a property Editor for TIBUpdate.RefreshSQL. |
| 496 |
> |
|
| 497 |
> |
20. IBUpdate: Ignore non-data (e.g. calculated) fields when assembling list of input |
| 498 |
> |
parameters. This stops an exception being raised when the field cannot be |
| 499 |
> |
located in the record buffer. |
| 500 |
> |
|
| 501 |
> |
21. Property Editors now automatically include System Tables when opened and when the query table |
| 502 |
> |
is a System Table. |
| 503 |
> |
|
| 504 |
> |
22. IBServices: SQRB and SRB buffers are now reset when service query throws an exception. |
| 505 |
> |
This avoids errors due to a stale SQRB or SRB being used for the next query. |
| 506 |
> |
|
| 507 |
> |
23. IBServices: Service attach parameters now include "expected_db". This is used to |
| 508 |
> |
add the SPB item isc_spb_expected_db. This names a database using |
| 509 |
> |
an alternative Security Database (FB3 onwards) and allows (e.g. backup/restore) using such a |
| 510 |
> |
database. examples/services re-written to illustrate use of "expected_db". |
| 511 |
> |
|
| 512 |
> |
24. IBServices: TIBControlAndQueryService.WriteNextChunk no longer ignores isc_info_svc_timeout. |
| 513 |
> |
This avoids truncated backups when the server returns a timeout (busy) response. |
| 514 |
> |
|
| 515 |
> |
25. TIBDatabase: isc_dpb_page_size now supported as a database parameter when using TIBDatabase.CreateDatabase. |
| 516 |
> |
|
| 517 |
> |
26. TIBDatabase: DatabaseName property may now be prefixed by $TEMP$ or $DATADIR$ for local |
| 518 |
> |
databasenames. These are respectively expanded to the local system's temp directory |
| 519 |
> |
(including trailing delimiter) or to a prescribed data directory (including |
| 520 |
> |
trailing delimiter). Under Unix systems the data directory is a hidden directory |
| 521 |
> |
in the user's home directory. The hidden directory name is either the string returned |
| 522 |
> |
from the SysUtils "Vendor Name" or "IBX" if empty. In either case prefixed by a '.'. |
| 523 |
> |
Under Windows, the directory is the same as the Data Directory as decribed |
| 524 |
> |
above but instead prefixed by the User's application data path. These may be |
| 525 |
> |
used to improve application portability for Personal Databases. |
| 526 |
> |
|
| 527 |
> |
27. TIBTable: FieldDefs property is no longer published. Due to the use of TIBFieldDef |
| 528 |
> |
this has not worked for a long time and is not useful either. FieldDefs should be |
| 529 |
> |
managed using the Fields Editor as with any other dataset. To access the fields |
| 530 |
> |
editor for a TIBTable component, double click on the component. The fields editor |
| 531 |
> |
is then displayed. |
| 532 |
> |
|
| 533 |
> |
28. TIBDatabaseInfo: new properties/function |
| 534 |
> |
* DateDBCreated (returns date/time database created) |
| 535 |
> |
* TransactionCount (returns no. of active transactions) |
| 536 |
> |
* GetDatabasePage(PageNo: integer) (returns contents of specified database page - SYSDBA only). |
| 537 |
> |
* PagesFree (Firebird 3 or later) |
| 538 |
> |
* PagesUsed (Firebird 3 or later) |
| 539 |
> |
* Encrypted (returns true if database encrypted. (Firebird 3.0.3 or later only) |
| 540 |
> |
* EncryptionKeyName (returns the name of the encryption key if any (Firebird 3.0.3 or later only) |
| 541 |
> |
|
| 542 |
> |
29. IBServices classes now provided the decoded release number in the (array) property ServerVersionNo. |
| 543 |
> |
|
| 544 |
> |
30. TIBSecurityService now supports display/modification of the User Admin Role (Firebird 2.5 and later). |
| 545 |
> |
|
| 546 |
> |
31. TIBConfigService now has a procedure SetAutoAdmin(Value: boolean) to enable/disable |
| 547 |
> |
the automtic mapping of privileged OS users to the RDB$ADMIN role (Firebird 2.5 and later). |
| 548 |
> |
|
| 549 |
> |
32. TIBBackupService: New Option - NoDBTriggers equivalent to -nodbtriggers switch introduced |
| 550 |
> |
in the gbak utility at V.2.1 to prevent database-level and transaction-level triggers from |
| 551 |
> |
firing during backup and restore. |
| 552 |
> |
|
| 553 |
> |
33. Both TIBBackupService and TIBRestoreService now support backup/restore statistics options |
| 554 |
> |
for verbose output using the new property "StatisticsRequested". |
| 555 |
> |
see https://firebirdsql.org/file/documentation/release_notes/html/en/2_5/rnfb25-util-gbak.html#rnfb25-util-gbakstats |
| 556 |
> |
|
| 557 |
> |
34. TIBRestoreService: now supports new options RestoreMetaDataOnly (Firebird 2.5 and later). |
| 558 |
> |
|
| 559 |
> |
35. TIBOnlineValidationService component added to the IBServices and the "Firebird Admin" |
| 560 |
> |
palette. This uses the online validation feature added in Firebird 2.5. The |
| 561 |
> |
services's properties enable inclusion/exclusion of tables and indexes using |
| 562 |
> |
regular expressions. See. |
| 563 |
> |
https://firebirdsql.org/file/documentation/release_notes/html/en/2_5/rnfb25-apiods-api.html#rnfb25-apiods-api-onlinevalidation |
| 564 |
> |
|
| 565 |
> |
36. IBServices: procedure TIBConfigService.SetNoLinger added to set no linger |
| 566 |
> |
option on a database. |
| 567 |
> |
|
| 568 |
> |
37. TIBCustomService: Assign method implemented to allow copying of service login |
| 569 |
> |
context between service API components. "Detach" method now only detaches |
| 570 |
> |
service when last reference to the service interface detaches. Tidy up of |
| 571 |
> |
code for SetActive and Attach methods including password hiding. |
| 572 |
> |
|
| 573 |
> |
38. TIBDatabase: new properties: AuthenticationMethod and RemoteProtocol. Read only |
| 574 |
> |
and used to determine the auth method and protocol used for the connection. |
| 575 |
> |
|
| 576 |
> |
39. TIBDatabase: ensure that SQLDialect setting is used when creating a database using |
| 577 |
> |
a Create Database Statement generated by IBX. |
| 578 |
> |
|
| 579 |
> |
40. All IBServices now have an additional published property "PortNo". This may |
| 580 |
> |
be set to a non-standard port number when necessary. If zero then the default |
| 581 |
> |
port number is used. |
| 582 |
> |
|
| 583 |
> |
41: TIBLookupComboeditBox: Ensure dataset updated when change selected with the keyboard |
| 584 |
> |
and not just the mouse. |
| 585 |
> |
|
| 586 |
> |
42. TIBCustomDataset: reopen query if already active when a TIBControlLink is added. |
| 587 |
> |
|
| 588 |
> |
43. TIBTreeview: new ImageIndexField and SelectedIndexField Property allows the |
| 589 |
> |
image index and selected image index for each node to be set from a database field. |
| 590 |
> |
|
| 591 |
> |
44. TIBExtract: new extract type (etGrantsToUser) for use with eoDatabase. If included |
| 592 |
> |
then database schema includes grants to all users. If not present then the |
| 593 |
> |
only user grants included are those to User PUBLIC. |
| 594 |
> |
|
| 595 |
> |
45. TIBTreeView: performance improvement. When expanding include both expanded node |
| 596 |
> |
and child nodes in dataset. |

IBX Change Log version (2.1-0) Fri, 15 Dec 2017 12:20:11 +0000 |
| 600 |
> |
|
| 601 |
> |
1. IBCustomDataset: Minor change of PChar to PByte for compatibility with fbintf |
| 602 |
> |
changes. |
| 603 |
> |
|
| 604 |
> |
2. IBCustomDataset: Fixed use of incorrect datasize in TIBStringField.SetAsString. |
| 605 |
> |
Bug could result in truncated multi-byte character set values. |
| 606 |
> |
|
| 607 |
> |
3. Changes consequential on moving fbintf character set utility functions from |
| 608 |
> |
IFirebirdAPI to IAttachment. |
| 609 |
> |
|
| 610 |
> |
4. Avoid "Object is nil" error when opening a database with DefaultSystemCodePage = true |
| 611 |
> |
|
| 612 |
> |
5. IBLookupComboEditBox: avoid race condition when autocompleting text that occasionally |
| 613 |
> |
results in autocomplete ignoring prefix text. |
| 614 |
> |
|
| 615 |
> |
6. IBLookupComboEditBox: Ensure that cursor is not reset to start of text when |
| 616 |
> |
entering a new name into the text box. |
| 617 |
> |
|

> |
7. IBCustomDataset: ensure that TIBStringField uses the field size reported by |
| 619 |
> |
Firebird rather than recomputing it. |
| 620 |
> |
|
| 621 |
> |
8. Property Editor positioning tidy up: All IBX Property editors should now be |
| 622 |
> |
screen centre. Previously some were "poDesigned" which may be inappropriate |
| 623 |
> |
for multi monitor desktops. |
| 624 |
> |
|
| 625 |
> |
10. TIBTreeView.FindNode: protect against error if zero length path or empty tree node. |
| 626 |
> |
|
| 627 |
> |
11. TIBTransaction: On Force Disconnect do not raise an exception when problem ending |
| 628 |
> |
a transaction and always reset the object. |
| 629 |
> |
|
| 630 |
> |
12. TIBQuery tidyup: remove unnecessary call to GetAffectedRows. |
| 631 |
> |
|
| 632 |
> |
13. TIBXScript: Allow for override of database filename in Create Database statements. |
| 633 |
> |
|
| 634 |
> |
14. IBLocaldb: Support initialisation of the database from an SQL script in addition |
| 635 |
> |
to a gbak format archive. |
| 636 |
> |
|
| 637 |
> |
15. IBLocaldb: fix problem that stopped the OnSharedDataDir event from being recognised. |
| 638 |
> |
|
| 639 |
> |
16. IBLocaldb: Drop database if error creating an empty database. |
| 640 |
> |
|
| 641 |

17. TIBTreeView: improve performance when selecting node - avoid refreshing dataset |
| 642 |
> |
unless selected node not in current dataset. |
| 643 |
> |
|
| 644 |
> |
18. IBServices: SetDBParams method moved from TCustomIBLocalDBSupport (in IBLocalDB package) |
| 645 |
> |
to TIBCustomService, and IBlocalDB code tidy up. |
| 646 |
> |
|
| 647 |
> |
19. IBTreeView: Initialise TIBTreeNode KeyValue to null to avoid unpredictable |
| 648 |
> |
behaviour due to uninitialised variable. |
| 649 |
> |
|
| 650 |
> |
20. IBServices: Correct encoding of isc_spb_prp_write_mode in TIBConfigService from |
| 651 |
> |
integer to byte. Ditto isc_spb_prp_reserve_space and isc_spb_prp_access_mode. |
| 652 |
> |
|
| 653 |
> |
21. IBSQL: When Database changed ensure that all resources are freed. |
| 654 |
> |
|
| 655 |
> |
22. IBCustomDataset: When database changed ensure that queries an unprepared. |
| 656 |
> |
|
| 657 |

23. SQL Property Editors now use SynEdit with SQL Highlighter. New features include: |
| 658 |
> |
* Line Wrap on SQL Token boundaries (on user command) |
| 659 |
> |
* auto-complete table names in drop down list of table names |
| 660 |
> |
* Double click on tablename or field name adds to SQL text |
| 661 |
> |
|
| 662 |
> |
24. IBDataOutput: print statistics using float (%f) format instead of decimal (%d). |
| 663 |
> |
|
| 664 |
> |
25. IBTreeView: Call to FindNode: param type change from "array of Variant" to |
| 665 |
> |
TVariantArray. Seems to avoid memory corruption in Windows (probably a |
| 666 |
> |
workaround for a problem in fpc 3.0.4 win64). |
| 667 |
> |
|
| 668 |
> |
26. IBDatabaseInfo: Code tidy up. Add check for database not assigned or not open. |
| 669 |
> |

|
| 674 |
> |
1. TIBDatabase.CreateDatabase: extract full DB Name from SQL using reg ex in order to |
| 675 |
> |
include remote system name. |
| 676 |
> |
|
| 677 |
> |
2. TIBExtract: No longer include comment header and COMMIT statement for empty |
| 678 |
> |
tables when data included in output. |
| 679 |
> |
|
| 680 |
> |
3. Profiling: IBSQL now has conditional compilation flags to enable query performance |
| 681 |
> |
and timing information to be written to stdout. This may be used to locate |
| 682 |
> |
performance bottlenecks. |
| 683 |
> |
|
| 684 |
> |
4. SQLParser: only call "OnChanging" event handler when value is different. |
| 685 |
> |
|
| 686 |
> |
5. IBDynamicGrid: Update handling of navigation keys for a TDateEdit |
| 687 |
> |
|
| 688 |
> |
6. IBCustomDataset: Set internalunprepared flag when transaction ends. This ensures |
| 689 |
> |
that BindFields is called when the query is next activated. Avoids FieldName |
| 690 |
> |
not found error. |
| 691 |
> |
|
| 692 |
> |
7. IBUpdate: This is a new IBX component similar to TIBUpdateSQL. It is more general |
| 693 |
> |
purpose and allows the programmer to define any action they want for Update, Insert |
| 694 |
> |
or Delete. This may be complex SQL (similar to a Trigger), application specific |
| 695 |
> |
filtering of updates, or use of statements such as Grant or Revoke instead of |
| 696 |
> |
normal DML. See User Manual for more information. |

> |
1. TIBEvents: Fix uninitialised variable that could result in lost events. |
| 701 |
> |
|
| 702 |
> |
2. TIBExtract: Added support for FB3 "USAGE" privilege. |
| 703 |
> |
|
| 704 |
> |
3. TIBExtract: data formatted as Charset set "octets" is now output using |
| 705 |
> |
hexadecimal notation. |
| 706 |
> |
|
| 707 |
> |
4. TIBExtract: Binary Blobs and array data can now be embedded in INSERT statements |
| 708 |
> |
using a simple XML format. |
| 709 |
> |
|
| 710 |
> |
5. TIBExtract: extract of individual Triggers and Stored Procedures can now include |
| 711 |
> |
grants to these objects. |
| 712 |
> |
|
| 713 |
> |
6. TIBExtract: Stored Procedures and Views output in dependency order to avoid |
| 714 |
> |
dependency problems restoring complex databases. |
| 715 |
> |
|
| 716 |
> |
7. TIBXScript: This component has been restructured to allow for the processing of |
| 717 |
> |
embedded XML in INSERT statements and to support interactive sources in addition |
| 718 |
> |
to non-interactive data sources such as files. |
| 719 |
> |
|
| 720 |
> |
8. TIBXScript: CREATE DATABASE, DROP DATABASE, CONNECT statements are now supported. |
| 721 |
> |
|
| 722 |
> |
9. TIBXScript: ISQL compatiable Set statements are now supported: |
| 723 |
> |
SET SQL DIALECT |
| 724 |
> |
SET TERM |
| 725 |
> |
SET AUTODDL |
| 726 |

10. IBVersion unit added to hold current IBX Version Number information. |
| 733 |
> |
|
| 734 |
> |
11. TIBExtract: Use character rather than byte length for VarChar procedure arguments., |
| 735 |

See also doc/IBX4LazarusGuide.pdf for important information on |
| 747 |
> |
upgrading to IBX2. |
| 748 |
> |
|
| 749 |
> |
1. Size property of TIBStringField is now the width in characters of the field |
| 750 |
> |
and not the byte length. This applies only to multi-byte character sets such |
| 751 |
> |
as UTF8. The original approach aligned with TStringField. However, the TStringField |
| 752 |
> |
code is not recognised as a bug and hence this change to align the behaviour. |
| 753 |
> |
The TStringField change is expected in fpc 3.2.0. |
| 754 |
> |
|
| 755 |
> |
2. A new property AutoFieldSize: boolean has been added to TIBStringField. When |
| 756 |
> |
true (default) then Size property value saved in the lfm is ignored. Size is |
| 757 |
> |
always set from the dynamic information read from the database. It is unclear |
| 758 |
> |
why anyone would want to override this and set Size to false. |
| 759 |
> |
|
| 760 |
> |
3. ibxscript: should now handle correctly a Case..End statement within a procedure |
| 761 |
> |
block. |
| 762 |
> |
|
| 763 |
> |
4. IBDatabase: new property - CreateIfNotExists. If true and database does not |
| 764 |
> |
exist when an attempt is made to connect to it (run time only) then an attempt |
| 765 |
> |
is made to create the database. |
| 766 |
> |
|
| 767 |
> |
5. IBDatabase: new event - OnCreateDatabase. This event is called after a database |
| 768 |
> |
has been successfully created as a result of a call to CreateDatabase or when |
| 769 |
> |
creating a database after it was found not to exist. |
| 770 |
> |
|
| 771 |
> |
6. DBControlGrid: a race condition could result in the wrong row image being |
| 772 |
> |
written to the cache. This has been avoided by a trip round the message |
| 773 |
> |
loop before rendering the row image. |
| 774 |
> |
|
| 775 |
> |
7. DBControlGrid: It is strongly recommended not to open the source DataSet for |
| 776 |
> |
a DBControlGrid during a Form's "OnShow" event handler. Under GTK2 this is |
| 777 |
> |
known to risk corrupt rendering of row images when the control is first |
| 778 |
> |
displayed. If necessary use "Application.QueueAsyncCall" to delay opening |
| 779 |
> |
of the dataset (see DBControlGrid examples) until the Form's Window has been created. |
| 780 |
> |
|
| 781 |
> |
8. DBControlGrid & IBDynamicGrid: Navigation keys should now work correctly with |
| 782 |
> |
a TDateEdit control located on an editor panel. |
| 783 |
> |
|
| 784 |
> |
9. TIBExtract: brought up-to-date plus many bug fixes. |
| 785 |
> |
|
| 786 |
> |
10. DBControlGrid: Removed memory leak when updating rows. |
| 787 |
> |
|
| 788 |
> |
11. TIBCMLocalDBSupport: fixed invalid free on upgrade. |

1. IBCustomDataset: When calling SetCodePage, no longer request transliteration |
| 793 |
> |
when target codepage is CP_NONE. This is a workaround for |
| 794 |
> |
http://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=30622. |
| 795 |
> |
|
| 796 |
> |
2. DBLog option removed from TIBStatisticalService - not supported by server |
| 797 |
> |
since Firebird 1.5. |
| 798 |
> |
|
| 799 |
> |
3. ibxscript: An error is no longer generated for "on commit preserve rows" or |
| 800 |
> |
similar. |
| 801 |
> |
|
| 802 |
> |
4. IBCodePage: updated mapping between codepages and character id. |
| 803 |
> |
|
| 804 |
> |
5. ftWideString and ftWideMemo withdrawn. There is no UTF16 character set in |
| 805 |
> |
Firebird. Character sets with a char width of two are not UTF16. |
| 806 |
> |
|
| 807 |
> |
6. Strings received from the database are now always transliterated into UTF8 |
| 808 |
> |
regardless of the database character set or connection character set. This |
| 809 |
> |
is for compatibility with the LCL. |

1. IBBlob: Defer reading of blob until read method called. This avoids having to |
| 814 |
> |
read in an entire blob just to get the size of the blob. General performance |
| 815 |
> |
improvement when opening datasets containing blobs. |
| 816 |
> |
|
| 817 |
> |
2. Clearing a Blob now sets the corresponding field's modified flag. |
| 818 |
> |
|
| 819 |
> |
3. IBLookupCombo: When not performing auto-complete, original query sort order |
| 820 |
> |
is now used. |
| 821 |
> |
|
| 822 |
> |
4. IBDynamicGrid: Add OnSelectEditor event. Allows editor panel to be dynamically |
| 823 |
> |
determined. |
| 824 |
> |
|
| 825 |
> |
5. IBDynamicGrid: Recompute column widths after dataset closed and re-opened. |
| 826 |
> |
|
| 827 |
> |
6. IBLookupCombo: LazUTF8 added to uses clause to avoid compilation problems post |
| 828 |
> |
lazarus 1.6.0 |
| 829 |
> |
|
| 830 |
> |
7. IBControls. Removed "runtime" from list of paths to avoid "multiple packages" |
| 831 |
> |
compilation error. |
| 832 |

1. No character set specified for connection: when a text blob is retrieved, the |
| 836 |
> |
character set is determined by looking up the native character set using then |
| 837 |
> |
Firebird API. Otherwise a text mode blob is assumed to have the same character |
| 838 |
> |
set as the connection. |
| 839 |
> |
|
| 840 |
> |
2. TIBGUIInterface: this is an internal interface. Minor type changes to allow |
| 841 |
> |
for Login Dialog returing a change to the database path. |
| 842 |
> |
|
| 843 |
> |
3. Design Time Database and Server login Dialogs now allow the Database Name/Server Name |
| 844 |
> |
to be changed from that given in the TIBDatabase/TIBServer component and for the |
| 845 |
> |
entered value to be saved on a project specific basis (design time only). |
| 846 |
> |
|
| 847 |
> |
4. IBDynamicGrid: TDBLookupCellEditor now compares its DataFieldName with the |
| 848 |
> |
column fieldname. If they are the same then it is acts as a look up for the KeyValue |
| 849 |
> |
Otherwise, it sets the column text to the selected ListField Value. |
| 850 |
> |
|
| 851 |
> |
5. IBDynamicGrid: Only visible columns are now taken into account When recalculating |
| 852 |
> |
column width. |
| 853 |
> |
|
| 854 |
> |
6. IBLookupComboEditBox: Fix error with autocomplete query when a RelationName is given |
| 855 |
> |
and a case insensitive search is requested. |
| 856 |
> |
|
| 857 |
> |
7. IBDynamicGrid: No longer ignores notifications removing Column Totals controls |
| 858 |
> |
or column ListSource. |
| 859 |
> |
|
| 860 |
> |
8. IBQuery: no longer performs unnecessary refresh of SQL Text (and hence avoids an |
| 861 |
> |
unprepare) when closing and the text has not changed. |
| 862 |
> |
|
| 863 |
> |
9. IBSQL: Base the cursor name on a GUID instead of a hexstr version of the class pointer. |
| 864 |
> |
Less likely to cause a cursor re-use error on Windows. |
| 865 |
> |
|
| 866 |
> |
10.SV5IPC: include workaround for OSX. FPC 3.0.0 has broken ipc module for darwin. |
| 867 |
> |
Expected to be fixed in 3.0.2. Hence workaround only applies to 3.0.0. |
| 868 |
> |
|
| 869 |
> |
11. TIBTreeView: Guard against nil destination on record changed |
| 870 |
> |
|
| 871 |
> |
12. AnsiString Code page support: TIBStringField.AsString and TIBMemoField.AsString now return a |
| 872 |
> |
string type with the code page set to reflect the returned field encoding after |
| 873 |
> |
Firebird driver transliteration, if any. FPC 3.0.0 onwards only. Behaviour unchanged for |
| 874 |
> |
earlier versions. |
| 875 |
> |
|
| 876 |
> |
13. AnsiString Code page support: Assigning to TIBStringField.AsString and TIBMemoField.AsString |
| 877 |
> |
will now result in transliteration to the code page specified for the Firebird driver |
| 878 |
> |
if the assigned string has a different code page. FPC 3.0.0 onwards only. |
| 879 |
> |
|
| 880 |
> |
14. TIBDatabase: new property UseDefaultSystemCodePage. When set any lc_ctype parameter |
| 881 |
> |
is ignored and the lc_ctype value, when the database is opened, is set to align with |
| 882 |
> |
the DefaultSystemCodePage (FPC 3.0.0 onwards). Normally, this is what you want and should ensure |
| 883 |
> |
platform independence. Note: this applies to FPC 3.0.0 and earlier versions. Pre FPC |
| 884 |
> |
3.0.0, when this property is true, the lc_ctype is UTF8 except under windows when |
| 885 |
> |
the GETACP is used to determine the Windows code page. |
| 886 |
> |
|
| 887 |
> |
15. TIBDatabase: new property DefaultCharSetName. This is the Firebird character set |
| 888 |
> |
name used as the lc_ctype when the database was opened. Only valid while the |
| 889 |
> |
Database is connected. |
| 890 |
> |
|
| 891 |
> |
16. TIBDatabase: new property DefaultCodePage (FPC >=3.0.0 only). This is the codepage |
| 892 |
> |
id that corresponds to the DefaultCharSetName. |

1. Unix: If Firebird Embedded Server shared object is loaded and a local database |
| 897 |
> |
path is given and database attach fails due to access permission issues on the |
| 898 |
> |
temp directory or security database, then the attach is retried with "localhost:" |
| 899 |
> |
prefixing the databasename. This should avoid problems when the database has to |
| 900 |
> |
be accessed by a local (e.g. classic) server and libfbembed is used. |
| 901 |
> |
|
| 902 |
> |
2. Windows: revised search order for Firebird DLL: |
| 903 |
> |
i. The Firebird Embedded Server in the application Directory. |
| 904 |
> |
ii. If the FIREBIRD environment variable is set then the directory this |
| 905 |
> |
points to is searched for the FB Client DLL and then then underlying |
| 906 |
> |
"bin" directory. |
| 907 |
> |
iii. Registry Key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Firebird Project\Firebird Server\Instances |
| 908 |
> |
is used to locate the Firebird installation directory and the underlying |
| 909 |
> |
"bin" directory is searched for the FB Client DLL. |
| 910 |
> |
iv. The Default installation directories C:\Program Files\Firebird\Firebird_2_x |
| 911 |
> |
are searched for the FB Client DLL. |
| 912 |
> |
v. The PATH Environment variable is used to search for the FB Client DLL. |
| 913 |
> |
vi. Finally the PATH Environment variable is used to search for IBASE.DLL. |
| 914 |
> |
|
| 915 |

3. New Component: TIBXScript. This is an ISQL compatible SQL script execution engine. |
| 916 |
> |
See doc/readme.scriptengine and example applications. |
| 917 |
> |
|
| 918 |
> |
4. New Component: TIBlocalDBSupport. This is a TIBDatabase support component intended to |
| 919 |
> |
simplify the use of the embedded firebird server on both Linux and Windows platforms. |
| 920 |
> |
See dpc/readme.localdatabase and example applications. |
| 921 |
> |
|
| 922 |
> |
5. IBDynamicGrid: Reordering on column header click should now also work for |
| 923 |
> |
dynamic columns. |
| 924 |
> |
|
| 925 |
> |
6. ISQLMonitor: (Windows only). Mutex added to TMultilockGate to avoid race condition |
| 926 |
> |
between incrementing/decrementing the lock count and signalling the event. |

2. IBDynamicGrid: Now deals correctly with a single column grid which has no indicator and autosize column |
| 935 |
> |
|
| 936 |
> |
3. IBLookupComboEditBox: reset timer on each key press - avoids timer going off too early |
| 937 |
> |
|
| 938 |
> |
4. IBDynamicGrid: Call event OnUpdateSortOrder even when aliasname not found in dataset |
| 939 |
> |
i.e. when it is a calculated field |
| 940 |
> |
|
| 941 |
> |
5. IBDynamicGrid: Fix problem selecting a different row when expanded row at end of grid. |
| 942 |
> |
This problem was due to a race condition between recalculating row heights and |
| 943 |
> |
determining which row was selected by the mouse click. The row height calculation |
| 944 |
> |
is now deferred by an extra trip round the message loop allowing the row to |
| 945 |
> |
be always calculated on the current grid layout rather than risking it being |
| 946 |
> |
calculated on the grid layout after the expanded row has been shrunk. |
| 947 |
> |
|
| 948 |
> |
6. IBLookupComboEditBox: avoid race condition between cm_killfocus and cm_exit on |
| 949 |
> |
Windows. |
| 950 |
> |
|
| 951 |
> |
7. TIBStringField: Now has two new public properties: CharacterSetName: string and CharacterSetSize: integer; |
| 952 |
> |
These properties allow the (Firebird) character set name for the field and the max number of bytes per character |
| 953 |
> |
to be determined at runtime. See doc/readme.charactersets.html. |
| 954 |
> |
|
| 955 |
> |
8. TIBWideStringField: This is a new field type with the same additional public properties as above and subclassed from |
| 956 |
> |
TWideStringField. This field type is used with the character size reported by Firebird is two. See doc/readme.charactersets.html. |
| 957 |
> |
|
| 958 |
> |
9. TIBMemoField and TIBWideMemoField: new field types with the same additional public properties as above and subclassed from |
| 959 |
> |
TMemoField and TWideMemoField respectively. These field types are used with Blob subtype 1 and a characterset size of |
| 960 |
> |
1, 3 or 4 (TIBMemoField) or 2 (TIBWideMemoField). See doc/readme.charactersets.html. |
| 961 |
> |
|
| 962 |
> |
Both also have a new published property "DisplayTextAsClassName". If false (default) the displaytext is generated |
| 963 |
> |
from the blob text by truncating the string to the displaywidth (in characters not bytes). A displaywidth of zero |
| 964 |
> |
implies no truncation. |
| 965 |
> |
|
| 966 |
> |
10. IBLookupComboEditBox: Force autocomplete when EditingDone called and timer active. |
| 967 |
> |
|
| 968 |
> |
11. IBDynamicGrid: Call DataSet.Append when entering edit mode and dataset empty and not in insert state |
| 969 |
> |
(avoids "Not in Edit Mode" error). |
| 970 |
> |
|
| 971 |
> |
12. IBDynamicGrid: Correctly resize grid when one column width plus indicator. |
| 972 |
> |
|
| 973 |
> |
13. IBDynamicGrid: Ensure Editor Panel has focus when shown - avoids Windows API calling |
| 974 |
> |
DBGrid.DoExit on subsequent mouse click (e.g. on child control such as a tabbed page control. |
| 975 |
> |
|
| 976 |
> |
14. IBDynamicGrid: ignore up, down tab and return when editorpanel open and focus in a TCustomGrid descendent. |
| 977 |
> |
|
| 978 |
> |
15. DBControlGrid: Stop flashing grid when dataset closed and then re-opened while DisabledControls |
| 979 |
> |
|
| 980 |
> |
16. IBQuery: Bug fixed that prevented SQL being set programmatically once the Parser had been invoked. |
| 981 |
> |
|
| 982 |
> |
17. IBCustomDataSet: On close, parser is now freed and Select SQL reverts to value before DataSet Opened. |

|
| 986 |
> |
1. OnCloseUp Event Handler added to TDBLookupProperties |
| 987 |
> |
|
| 988 |
> |
2. IBDynamicGrid: Call to OnEditorPanelHide is now last editor hide action - avoids |
| 989 |
> |
problem with row size when exception is called. |
| 990 |
> |
|
| 991 |
> |
3. IBLookupComboEditBox: Force pending autocomplete on combobox exit. |
| 992 |
> |
|
| 993 |
> |
4. IBDynamicGrid and DBControlGrid: Keyhandler now ignores up, down, escape and return keys if |
| 994 |
> |
in a TCustomComboBox and ignores return key if in a TCustomMemo |
| 995 |
> |
|
| 996 |
> |
5. IBLookupComboEditBox: Ensure that KeyValue is set correctly when full text |
| 997 |
> |
keyed in i.e. when autocomplete not performed |
| 998 |
> |
|
| 999 |
> |
6. Cleanup of "Uses" clauses and add console mode support. IBX should now support |
| 1000 |
> |
console mode applications with all LCL required functions (builtin dialogs and |
| 1001 |
> |
cursor management) centralised in the IBDialogs unit. As long as "IBDialogs" is |
| 1002 |
> |
not included in your project, IBX should compile and link with a console mode program. |
| 1003 |
> |
See consolemode example and its "readme"for further guidence. DO NOT add the ibexpress package to a |
| 1004 |
> |
console mode application or the IDE will automatically assume that your |
| 1005 |
> |
application is GUI based. Instead, you should include the ibexpressconsolemode package. |
| 1006 |
> |
|
| 1007 |
> |
IMPORTANT NOTE: IBDialogs must be included in GUI applications in order |
| 1008 |
> |
to use the built in dialogs and cursor management. IBDialogs is |
| 1009 |
> |
included by default if "ibexpress" is in your project source's "uses" clause. |
| 1010 |
> |
This should be the case for all projects created through the IDE. This is why |
| 1011 |
> |
you do not want to add the ibexpress package to console mode applications. The |
| 1012 |
> |
ibexpressconsolemode package has been created to allow console mode programs |
| 1013 |
> |
to avoid adding LCL dependencies when using IBX, while still having the |
| 1014 |
> |
unit search paths set up correctly. |
| 1015 |
> |
|
| 1016 |
> |
Existing users should check to ensure that the "ibexpress" unit is included in |
| 1017 |
> |
each project's source file (*.lpr). |
| 1018 |
> |
|
| 1019 |
> |
You may find that in order for the IDE to recognise that ibexpressconsolemode |
| 1020 |
> |
exists, you have to first open the package in the IDE and then close it. This |
| 1021 |
> |
adds it to the most recently accessed packages list. To make it permanently |
| 1022 |
> |
available, add the package name to lazarus' staticpackages.inc file. |
| 1023 |
> |
|
| 1024 |
> |
Thanks to Julio Jiménez for suggesting support of console mode. |
| 1025 |
> |
|
| 1026 |
> |
7. SQL Parser can now accept quoted strings that include new lines |
| 1027 |
> |
|
| 1028 |
> |
8. IBDynamicGrid: Lookup Cell Editor - the cursor is now positioned at end |
| 1029 |
> |
of text on start of edit. This is particularly useful when tabbing to a |
| 1030 |
> |
column and then inserting text. |
| 1031 |
> |
|
| 1032 |
> |
9. New Examples provided for IB Services and ISQLMonitor. |
| 1033 |
> |
|
| 1034 |
> |
10. Fix error when writing to blob streams that recorded only the last buffer |
| 1035 |
> |
write in the blob stream. In most cases, this did not cause a problem as the |
| 1036 |
> |
IB Blob Stream is written in a single write. However, with the TDBImage, write |
| 1037 |
> |
of a graphic type prefix was lost which caused a problem when the image could |
| 1038 |
> |
not be automatically recognised. |
| 1039 |
> |
|
| 1040 |
> |
11. Improve generation of random cursor names in TIBSQL - avoid risk of "cursor |
| 1041 |
> |
already open" errors due to random numbers used for the cursor name being identical. |
| 1042 |
> |
|
| 1043 |
> |
12. IBTable: corrected error that could result in an "Index out of bounds" error |
| 1044 |
> |
when opening the table and the Primary Key is the last or only column in the |
| 1045 |
> |
table. Thanks to Rick Hoover for the fix. |
| 1046 |
> |
|
| 1047 |
> |
13. Fix TIBDatabase initialisation of lc_ctype under unix. Set to "UTF8" instead |
| 1048 |
> |
of "UTF-8", and update list of available database character sets. Existing |
| 1049 |
> |
users should check the current lc_ctype setting in their applications. |
| 1050 |
> |

IBX Change Log version (1.2-4) Sat, 09 May 2015 12:38:29 +0100 |
| 1052 |
> |
|
| 1053 |
> |
1. Firebird Services: avoid List Index error when opening a service with an |
| 1054 |
> |
empty Params property. |
| 1055 |
> |
|
| 1056 |
> |
2. IBControls: Fix problem with new link mechanism introduced in 1.2.3. |
| 1057 |
> |
Link now set up in Loaded method - avoids occasional failure to apply |
| 1058 |
> |
SQL markup on initial open. |
| 1059 |
> |
|
| 1060 |
> |
3. "Employees" example performance improvements when scrolling. |
| 1061 |
> |
|
| 1062 |
> |
4. DBControlGrid: Correctly handle edit panel removal when panel is child control of a |
| 1063 |
> |
TFrame. Force recaching of selected frame to avoid GTK race (results in a |
| 1064 |
> |
random image cached). |
| 1065 |
> |
|
| 1066 |
> |
5. DBControlGrid: Should now react to changes in panel height at run time. |
| 1067 |
> |
|
| 1068 |
> |
6. IBDynamicGrid: Redraws rows below on panel editor hide - avoids blank space at end of grid |
| 1069 |
> |
even when further rows exist. |
| 1070 |
> |
|
| 1071 |
> |
7. DBControlGrid: DefaultRowHeight is no longer a published property as it should |
| 1072 |
> |
always be derived from panel height and setting this property can cause confusion. |
| 1073 |
> |
Note for existing projects: to avoid a missing property error at run time, |
| 1074 |
> |
each form using the DBControlGrid must be opened, updated and saved in the IDE |
| 1075 |
> |
in order to remove the property value from the lfm. |
| 1076 |

IBX Change Log version (1.2-3) Tue, 14 Apr 2015 14:11:17 +0100 |
| 1079 |
> |
|
| 1080 |
> |
1. TIBStoredProc. Prepare now called by ParamByName to avoid need to always |
| 1081 |
> |
call Prepare before setting parameter values. |
| 1082 |
> |
|
| 1083 |
> |
2. Error message on ParamByName (all cases) not found now includes name of missing parameter. |
| 1084 |
> |
|
| 1085 |
> |
3. Code tidyup and more robust handling of dsql information result vector. |
| 1086 |
> |
|
| 1087 |
> |
4. Support for centralised handling of transaction status changes. TIBTransaction |
| 1088 |
> |
has been given additional events "AfterEdit", "AfterInsert", "AfterDelete", "AfterPost" |
| 1089 |
> |
and "AfterExecQuery". The first three are called after the same event is called |
| 1090 |
> |
for an IBCustomDataSet descendent using the Transaction. The fourth is called |
| 1091 |
> |
after a call to TIBSQL.ExecQuery, again using this transaction. These new events |
| 1092 |
> |
enable monitoring of transaction status changes for a given transaction to be |
| 1093 |
> |
handled in a single place. For example, when a change to the dataset occurs |
| 1094 |
> |
an indicator can be set that shows the user that in order to save changes, |
| 1095 |
> |
the transaction should be committed. Rather than doing this per dataset, this |
| 1096 |
> |
can now be done per transaction. |
| 1097 |
> |
|
| 1098 |
> |
5. TDataSet.CheckBrowseMode automatically posts changes to the current row when |
| 1099 |
> |
the dataset is scrolled. However, any changes to the current row are, by default, |
| 1100 |
> |
discarded when the dataset is closed. TIBDataSet, TIBQuery and TIBTable now |
| 1101 |
> |
have a new property "DataSetCloseAction" that adds automatic posting of changes |
| 1102 |
> |
on dataset close. If this property is set to dcDiscardChanges (default) then the |
| 1103 |
> |
behaviour is unchanged from previous versions. if the value is set to dcSaveChanges |
| 1104 |
> |
then IBX will attempt to post any unsaved changes before the dataset is closed |
| 1105 |
> |
(and after the BeforeClose event handler is called). The exception is when the |
| 1106 |
> |
dataset is being closed as a result of a transaction rollback. In this case, |
| 1107 |
> |
no action is taken and any unsaved changes are discarded. This avoids both |
| 1108 |
> |
unnecessary overhead and the risk that a validation error may occur in the Post |
| 1109 |
> |
raising an exception and thereby preventing a rollback. |
| 1110 |
> |
|
| 1111 |
> |
6. String Field sizes and Display Widths should now be correct for multi-byte character sets. |
| 1112 |
> |
In earlier versions, the Display Width was set to the maximum byte width rather than the character |
| 1113 |
> |
width. Display Widths are now corrected by dividing by the max byte width per character. |
| 1114 |
> |
For UTF8 character sets, the byte width is four and hence the Display Width will be |
| 1115 |
> |
the byte width divided by 4. The byte width of each character set is determined |
| 1116 |
> |
dynamically when the database connection is estabished from the RDB$CHARACTER_SETS |
| 1117 |
> |
system table. (see also http://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=27766). |
| 1118 |
> |
|
| 1119 |
> |
7. SQLParser will now correctly parse SQL Text which contains ':' within quoted string. |
| 1120 |
> |
|
| 1121 |
> |
8. IBLookupComboEditBox: List should now always be restored to full list when the |
| 1122 |
> |
control loses focus. Default Key press default interval reduced to 200ms. |
| 1123 |
> |
|
| 1124 |
> |
9. DBControlGrid: Ensure that selection is changed to newly appended row, even |
| 1125 |
> |
when dataset rows are less than visible rows. |
| 1126 |
> |
|
| 1127 |
> |
10. IBDynamicGrid: Editor Panel is not shown on indicator click if Datasource |
| 1128 |
> |
does not exist or DataSet is empty. More responsive on dataset open. New event |
| 1129 |
> |
OnRestorePosition. Column sort disabled if no header row. |
| 1130 |
> |
|
| 1131 |
> |
11. IBTreeView: improved handling of response to "Add Node". Avoid scrolling dataset |
| 1132 |
> |
while dataset state is dsInsert. Avoids posting errors. |
| 1133 |
> |
|
| 1134 |
> |
12. IBControls: New mechanism for distributing UpdateSQL and UpdateParams events. This is to |
| 1135 |
> |
avoid conflict with DisableControls/EnableControls with Master/Detail linked tables. |
| 1136 |
> |
|
| 1137 |
> |
13. IBLookupComboEditBox: Now avoids SQL Errors when combo box text contains single quotes. |
| 1138 |
> |
|
| 1139 |
> |
14. TIBDataSet and TIBQuery: new Event - OnValidatePost. This event has been introduced |
| 1140 |
> |
to solve a specific problem. That is when the dataset cursor is moved (e.g. by |
| 1141 |
> |
a grid mouse click and the current row is being edited or inserted. In this case, TDataset |
| 1142 |
> |
always "posts" the current record regardless or whether or not it may be more appropriate |
| 1143 |
> |
to cancel any changes; the post occurs before the "BeforeScroll" event fires due to the way the |
| 1144 |
> |
"MoveBy" function is implemented by TDataSet. The OnValidatePost event is called |
| 1145 |
> |
as the first action of the "Post" method and allows the handler to convert the Post |
| 1146 |
> |
into a Cancel if that is the appropriate action on moving to a different row. This is |
| 1147 |
> |
achieved by returning with "CancelPost" argument set to true. Note that an exception could be |
| 1148 |
> |
raised here, but it may still be more appropriate to validate a post and signal |
| 1149 |
> |
a problem in the "BeforePost" event handler. See readme.automaticposts.xhtml) |
| 1150 |
> |
|
| 1151 |
> |
15. On Unix derived systems, the Firebird library name can now be given as a colon |
| 1152 |
> |
separated list. Each library name on the list is tried in turn, in left to right |
| 1153 |
> |
order with the first found being used as the firebird library. By default, on Linux, |
| 1154 |
> |
the library name list is 'libfbembed.so.2.5:libfbembed.so.2.1:libfbclient.so.2'. This can be |
| 1155 |
> |
overidden by the FBLIB environment variable or the OnGetLibraryName function. |
| 1156 |
> |
|
| 1157 |
> |
Note: when using the libfbembed.so, if you prefix the database name with "localhost:" |
| 1158 |
> |
then it will still attempt to access the database via the Firebird Server and will |
| 1159 |
> |
require a username and password. If only the pathname is given, then the username |
| 1160 |
> |
and password should be omitted and the unix file permissions are used to grant |
| 1161 |
> |
access. |

|
| 1165 |
> |
1. A new IBControl - TDBControlGrid has been added. TDBControlGrid a lookalike |
| 1166 |
> |
rather than a clone for the Delphi TDBCrtlGrid. TDBControlGrid is a single column grid |
| 1167 |
> |
that replicates a TWinControl - typically a TPanel or a TFrame in each row. Each row |
| 1168 |
> |
corresponds to a row of the linked DataSource. Any data aware control on the |
| 1169 |
> |
replicated (e.g.) TPanel will then appear to have the appropriate value for the row. |
| 1170 |
> |
|
| 1171 |
> |
2. As suggested by Julio Jiménez, a new property "SQLHourGlass" has been added to TIBDatabase. |
| 1172 |
> |
When set to false (default true), the Hour Glass cursor is supcpressed and no cursor change |
| 1173 |
> |
takes place during database access. This may be useful when there are performance issues with |
| 1174 |
> |
the change of cursor. Setting the property to false suppresses the change of cursor. |
| 1175 |
> |
|
| 1176 |
> |
3. As suggested by Julio Jiménez, a new property "AutoCommit" has been added to TIBDataSet, TIBQuery |
| 1177 |
> |
and TIBTable. When set to acCommitRetaining (Default: acDisabled), a call is made to |
| 1178 |
> |
Transaction.CommitRetaining immediately after every Post or Delete. This has the effect of |
| 1179 |
> |
making all changes permanent immediately rather than when the transaction is explicitly |
| 1180 |
> |
committed. |
| 1181 |
> |
|
| 1182 |
> |
4. Experimental support for the Firebird 3 SQL_BOOLEAN type has been added while still |
| 1183 |
> |
using the legacy Firebird API. Thanks to Gabor Boros for helping to test this feature. |

1. An internal select SQL Parser is now available for TIBCustomDataset descendents. |
| 1192 |
> |
This is typically used during an "OnBeforeOpen" event handler to manipulate the |
| 1193 |
> |
"Where" and "Having" clauses to implement user specified filters of arbitrary |
| 1194 |
> |
complexity. |
| 1195 |
> |
|
| 1196 |
> |
2. A new Component Palette entry "Firebird Data Controls" is now available. This has |
| 1197 |
> |
three new data aware controls dependent on IBX and which make use of the SQL Parser. |
| 1198 |
> |
These are: |
| 1199 |
> |
|
| 1200 |
> |
- TIBLookupComboEditBox |
| 1201 |
> |
- TIBDynamicGrid |
| 1202 |
> |
- TIBTreeview |
| 1203 |
> |
|
| 1204 |
> |
TIBLookupComboEditBox is a TDBLookupComboBox descendent that implements "autocomplete" |
| 1205 |
> |
of typed in text and "autoinsert" of new entries. Autocomplete uses SQL manipulation |
| 1206 |
> |
to revise the available list and restrict it to items that are prefixed by the |
| 1207 |
> |
typed text (either case sensitive or case insensitive). Autoinsert allows a |
| 1208 |
> |
newly typed entry to be added to the list dataset and included in the available |
| 1209 |
> |
list items. |
| 1210 |
> |
|
| 1211 |
> |
TIBDynamicGrid is a TDBGrid descendent that provides for: |
| 1212 |
> |
- automatic resizing of selected columns to fill the available row length |
| 1213 |
> |
- automatic positioning and sizing of a "totals" control, typically at the |
| 1214 |
> |
column footer, on a per column basis. |
| 1215 |
> |
- DataSet resorting on header row click, sorting the dataset by the selected column. |
| 1216 |
> |
A second click on the same header cell reversed the sort order. |
| 1217 |
> |
- Support for a "Panel Editor". That is on clicking the indicator column, the row |
| 1218 |
> |
is automatically expanded and a panel superimposed on it. The panel can have any |
| 1219 |
> |
number of child controls, typically data aware controls with the same datasource |
