New property for TIBDatabase and TIBXServicesConnection. This is "ConfigOverrides" + and is used to override the default settings in the client side "firebird.conf" This + includes "WireCompression" and "WireCrypt". The value of this property is a "TStrings". + Each line of the string list should be a setting in the same format as "firebird.conf". + For example "WireCompression = true" in order to request wire compression on the client side. + + Note: explicit settings in the client side "firebird.conf" appear to take precedence + over settings given in TIBDatabase and TIBXServicesConnection. Many client side settings + also require a compatible setting in the server side "firebird.conf". For example + "WireCompression = true" must also be set in the server's "firebird.conf" for wire + compression to be used. + + Whether or not WireCompression or WireCrypt are in use can be checked using the information + returned with the Client/Server protocol version. See ibx/examples/dbadmin and + ibx/examples/dbinfo for examples of how to display this information. + +2. New property for TIBDatabase and TIBXServicesConnection: "WireCompression". This + is a "convenience" property. If set the "WireCompression=true" is added to the + ConfigOverrides. If unchecked then this setting is removed. + +3. TIBExtract: 64-bit integer types are now correctly extracted as "BIGINT" and + not "INT64". + +4. New published properties for TIBCSVDataOut, TIBInsertStmtsOut and TIBBlockFormatOut + These are: + property TimestampFormat: string; + property DateFormat: string; + property TimeFormat: string; + + Respectively, these provide the date time format templates for SQL types: TIMESTAMP, + DATETIME and TIME. The format strings use the standard FPC date/time format + characters (see https://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/rtl/sysutils/formatchars.html). + + If any of the above properties are set to an empty string, then the locale default + is used. This uses the ShortDateFormat and the LongTimeFormat. In timestamp, the + locale default is extended by appending '.zzz' to include milliseconds. + + TIBCSVDataOut by default sets these properties to the empty string, while the other + two use: 'yyyy.mm.dd hh:nn:ss.zzz', 'yyyy.mm.dd' and 'hh:nn:ss.zzz' respectively. + +5. New published property for TIBCSVDataOut: + property QuoteStrings: boolean (default true) + + If false then strings are unquoted, otherwise, the QuoteChar property value is + used to delimit each and every string in the output. + +6. New published properties for TIBCSVDataOut: + property FieldSeparator: string; + property HeaderSeparator: string; + + Respectively, these provide the separator character(s) used to separate fields + in data and header rows. Both default to ','. + +7. New published properties for TIBCSVDataOut and TIBBlockFormatOut: + TOnFormatTextString = procedure(sender: TObject; var TextString: string) of object; + property OnFormatTextString; + + This event handler can be used to process text strings before they are included + in the output e.g. to replace unprintable characters with alternative strings. + This only applies to columns with an SQL Type of SQL_VARYING and SQL_TEXT. + +8. TIBDataSet now raises an exception when ParamByName called with an invalid parameter name. + Uses "FindParam" if in order to find out if a parameter with a given name exists + and without raising and exception if it does not. + +9. TIBQuery now uses IBX SQL Parser instead of the TParams SQL parser in order to ensure + consistency with SQL queries. + +10. CaseSensitiveParameterNames property added to TIBSQL, TIBDataSet and TIBQuery. + When true, SQL statement parameter names are parsed case sensitive. Note for + TIBDataSet only applies to Select query. + +11. IBEvents: removing a TIBEvent component from a form should no longer result in + an IDE exception. + +12. LocalDBSupport: initial database creation should now work correctly + when the schema source is an sql file. + +13. TIBCMLocalDBSupport: new event handler "property OnProgressEvent: TOnProgressEvent" + when defined, this handler will be called by the internal TIBXScript during + initial database creation when the schema source is an sql file and may be used + to provide a visual indication of progress in console mode. + +14. TCustomIBLocalDBSupport: new public property "InOnCreateDB: boolean". This is set + to true while a new local database is being created and its schema populated. + Useful in (e.g.) TIBDatabase.OnAfterConnect handler to suppress actions + when the database is disconnected/connected during the create DB procedure. + +15. TIBXScript: any User/password parameters found in a CREATE DATABASE statement + are now always ignored and replaced by the user name and password provided as + the login parameters for the TIBDatabase referenced from the TIBXScript. The + IgnoreCreateDatabase property still applies and the CREATE DATABASE statement is + completely ignored if this property is true. + +16. Code tidyup in IBTreeView: Node properties initialisation moved from TIBTreeView.AddNodes + to TIBTreeView.Added. An OnAddition event handler is no longer needed to initialise + ImageIndex and SelectImageIndex values on AddNode. + +17. TIBDatabase.Attachment and TIBXServicesConnection.ServicesIntf properties are now + read/write. This should enabled (e.g.) multiple instances of TIBDatabase to share + the same database connection. + +18. TIBDataSet and TIBQuery now support the TDataSet "Filter" property. + if provided, this should be an conditional SQL expression suitable for + including in an SQL Select statement "where" clause. If non-empty and the + "Filtered" property is true then the SQL expression provided as the value of + the "Filter" property is "ANDed" with any existing condition statement + in the SQL statement's "Where" clause. + + If the "Filter" property is set at run time, the "Filtered" property is true + and the dataset is already open, then the dataset is closed and re-opened automatically. + + The "Filter" condition may include IBX style parameters. In which case, their + value must be set by the dataset's "OnBeforeOpen" event handler. + + This is a public property for TIBDataSet and TIBQuery query and intended for + use at run time. + + Note: The property is a published property of TIBTable. The TIBTable functionality + is unaffected by this change. + +IBX Change Log version (2.3-2) Wed, 05 Dec 2018 12:19:23 +0000 + +1. Remove need to check for IsMultiThread by providing access to GUI timers via + IBGUIInterface. Note: master/detail delay timer does not apply to console + mode apps. + +2. TIBCustomDataSet: SQLParser ignored if it does not contain a valid select + statement. This avoids problems if "Execute Block" is used as the Query. + +3. IBSQLParser now uses the common SQL tokeniser from fbintf. This replaces the + internal SQL tokeniser routines. + +4. IBSQLParser: new property NotaSelectStmt. Set to true if SQL fails to parse + as a select statement, with or without CTEs. + +5. IBSQLParser: parser now recognises the "ROWS" clause. + +6. TIBXScript now uses the common SQL tokeniser from fbintf. This replaces the + internal SQL tokeniser routines. + +7. Fix error in TIBXScript processing of "set" statements. This avoids exceptions + being raised for valid set statements processed by a data formatter. + +8. New published property for TIBDatabase and TIBXServicesConnection. This is + FirebirdLibraryPathName: string. If not empty it is used to explicitly specify + the path of the Firebird Library used by the database/services connection. + +9. New read only public property for TIBDatabase and TIBXServicesConnection. This + is FirebirdAPI and returns the IFirebirdAPI interface used by the database/ + services connection. + +10.SQL Property editors now quote parameter names if "Quote identifier" is selected + or param name is not a valid SQL identifier. + +11. IBLookupComboEditBox: In Lazarus 2.0, TDBLookupComboBox takes a more restrictive + view of whether the text box should be editable when no DataSource is specified. + TIBLookupComboEditBox has been updated to workaround this problem. As long as + ReadOnly is false, the text box is editable when no DataSource is specified. + +12. AllowUseOfFBLIB is now set to "true" at design time. This is to allow use of + the FBLIB environment variable. If you do not want to permit this then you + must modify the Register procedure in the design/IBDBReg.pas unit to remove + this setting. + +IBX Change Log version (2.3-1) Thu, 25 Oct 2018 14:39:45 +0100 + +1.
