2 >
3 > 1. New property for TIBDatabase and TIBXServicesConnection. This is "ConfigOverrides"
4 >   and is used to override the default settings in the client side "firebird.conf" This
5 >   includes "WireCompression" and "WireCrypt". The value of this property is a "TStrings".
6 >   Each line of the string list should be a setting in the same format as "firebird.conf".
7 >   For example "WireCompression = true" in order to request wire compression on the client side.
8 >
9 >   Note: explicit settings in the client side "firebird.conf" appear to take precedence
10 >   over settings given in TIBDatabase and TIBXServicesConnection. Many client side settings
11 >   also require a compatible setting in the server side "firebird.conf". For example
12 >   "WireCompression = true" must also be set in the server's "firebird.conf" for wire
13 >   compression to be used.
14 >
15 >   Whether or not WireCompression or WireCrypt are in use can be checked using the information
16 >   returned with the Client/Server protocol version. See ibx/examples/dbadmin and
17 >   ibx/examples/dbinfo for examples of how to display this information.
18 >
19 > 2. New property for TIBDatabase and TIBXServicesConnection: "WireCompression". This
20 >   is a "convenience" property. If set the "WireCompression=true" is added to the
21 >   ConfigOverrides. If unchecked then this setting is removed.
22 >
23 > 3. TIBExtract: 64-bit integer types are now correctly extracted as "BIGINT" and
24 >   not "INT64".
25 >
26 > 4. New published properties for TIBCSVDataOut, TIBInsertStmtsOut and TIBBlockFormatOut
27 >   These are:
28 >    property TimestampFormat: string;
29 >    property DateFormat: string;
30 >    property TimeFormat: string;
31 >
32 >   Respectively, these provide the date time format templates for SQL types: TIMESTAMP,
33 >   DATETIME and TIME. The format strings use the standard FPC date/time format
34 >   characters (see https://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/rtl/sysutils/formatchars.html).
35 >
36 >   If any of the above properties are set to an empty string, then the locale default
37 >   is used. This uses the ShortDateFormat and the LongTimeFormat. In timestamp, the
38 >   locale default is extended by appending '.zzz' to include milliseconds.
39 >
40 >   TIBCSVDataOut by default sets these properties to the empty string, while the other
41 >   two use: 'yyyy.mm.dd hh:nn:ss.zzz', 'yyyy.mm.dd' and 'hh:nn:ss.zzz' respectively.
42 >
43 > 5. New published property for TIBCSVDataOut:
44 >     property QuoteStrings: boolean (default true)
45 >
46 >   If false then strings are unquoted, otherwise, the QuoteChar property value is
47 >   used to delimit each and every string in the output.
48 >
49 > 6. New published properties for TIBCSVDataOut:
50 >    property FieldSeparator: string;
51 >    property HeaderSeparator: string;
52 >
53 >   Respectively, these provide the separator character(s) used to separate fields
54 >   in data and header rows. Both default to ','.
55 >
56 > 7. New published properties for TIBCSVDataOut and TIBBlockFormatOut:
57 >    TOnFormatTextString = procedure(sender: TObject; var TextString: string) of object;
58 >    property OnFormatTextString;
59 >
60 >   This event handler can be used to process text strings before they are included
61 >   in the output e.g. to replace unprintable characters with alternative strings.
62 >   This only applies to columns with an SQL Type of SQL_VARYING and SQL_TEXT.
63 >
64 > 8. TIBDataSet now raises an exception when ParamByName called with an invalid parameter name.
65 >
66 > 9. TIBQuery now uses IBX SQL Parser instead of TParams SQL parser in order to ensure
67 >   consistency with SQL queries.
68 >
69 > 10. CaseSensitiveParameterNames property added to TIBSQL, TIBDataSet and TIBQuery.
70 >    When true, SQL statement parameter names are parsed case sensitive. Note for
71 >    TIBDataSet only applies to Select query.
72 >
73 > IBX Change Log  version (2.3-2) Wed, 05 Dec 2018 12:19:23 +0000
74 >
75 > 1. Remove need to check for IsMultiThread by providing access to GUI timers via
76 >   IBGUIInterface. Note: master/detail delay timer does not apply to console
77 >   mode apps.
78 >
79 > 2. TIBCustomDataSet: SQLParser ignored if it does not contain a valid select
80 >   statement. This avoids problems if "Execute Block" is used as the Query.
81 >
82 > 3. IBSQLParser now uses the common SQL tokeniser from fbintf. This replaces the
83 >   internal SQL tokeniser routines.
84 >
85 > 4. IBSQLParser: new property NotaSelectStmt. Set to true if SQL fails to parse
86 >   as a select statement, with or without CTEs.
87 >
88 > 5. IBSQLParser: parser now recognises the "ROWS" clause.
89 >
90 > 6. TIBXScript now uses the common SQL tokeniser from fbintf. This replaces the
91 >   internal SQL tokeniser routines.
92 >
93 > 7.  Fix error in TIBXScript processing of "set" statements. This avoids exceptions
94 >    being raised for valid set statements processed by a data formatter.
95 >
96 > 8. New published property for TIBDatabase and TIBXServicesConnection. This is
97 >   FirebirdLibraryPathName: string. If not empty it is used to explicitly specify
98 >   the path of the Firebird Library used by the database/services connection.
99 >
100 > 9. New read only public property for TIBDatabase and TIBXServicesConnection. This
101 >   is FirebirdAPI and returns the IFirebirdAPI interface used by the database/
102 >   services connection.
103 >
104 > 10.SQL Property editors now quote parameter names if "Quote identifier" is selected
105 >   or param name is not a valid SQL identifier.
106 >
107 > 11. IBLookupComboEditBox: In Lazarus 2.0, TDBLookupComboBox takes a more restrictive
108 >    view of whether the text box should be editable when no DataSource is specified.
109 >    TIBLookupComboEditBox has been updated to workaround this problem. As long as
110 >    ReadOnly is false, the text box is editable when no DataSource is specified.
111 >
112 > 12. AllowUseOfFBLIB is now set to "true" at design time. This is to allow use of
113 >    the FBLIB environment variable. If you do not want to permit this then you
114 >    must modify the Register procedure in the design/IBDBReg.pas unit to remove
115 >    this setting.

118 >
119 > 1. IBCustomDataset: replace deprecated function ValidUTF8String with call to
120 >   Utf8EscapeControlChars

123 >
124 > IMPORTANT: the source code tree has been re-organised for IBX 2.3. Please remove
125 > all previous copies of the IBX source code tree before installing this release.
126 >
127 > The IBX packages used by most users have not changed, with one exception. The
128 > IBServices unit has been moved to the package iblegacyServices.lpk. To continue
129 > to use the IBServices unit in your applications, please add the iblegacyServices
130 > to the list of dependencies. To do this, open the Project Inspector and select
131 > Add->New Requirement and select "ibLegacyServices" from the list of available
132 > packages.
133 >
134 > 1. New unit IBXServices. The IBXServices unit is a re-architectured update of
135 >   the IBServices unit providing what is intended to be a clearer and easier to
136 >   use set of IB Services components. See Chapter 10 of the IBX User Guide for
137 >   more information and the guide to "Firebird Service Management Using IBX".
138 >   As indicated above, the legacy services components are still available and
139 >   provided in a separate package. There is no need to update working applications
140 >   using the older versions except for an additional package dependency.
141 >
142 > 2. The IBX packages and source code tree have been re-organised in an attempt to
143 >   finally get rid of the "duplicate ppu" warnings. This re-organisation should
144 >   not affect existing users. Section 2.3 of the IBX User Guide describes the
145 >   new set of IBX packages.
146 >
147 > 3. The ibx/examples/DBAdmin and the ibx/examples/services example have been
148 >   updated to use the new Services API components.
149 >
150 > 4. The iblocal package has been updated to use the new Services API components.
151 >
152 > 5. procedure SetAutoAdmin; in the new IBX Services this method is now a member of
153 >   TIBXSecurityService. It had been wrongly classified in the previous version
154 >   as a per database configuration item. It is global to a server and hence
155 >   correctly positioned as part of the Security Package. In the DBAdmin example,
156 >   the setting has moved to the mappings page.
157 >
158 > 6. TIBXScript: IgnoreCreateDatabase added. If true then CREATE DATABASE statements
159 >   are ignored.
160 >
161 > 7. TIBDatabase: DropDatabase now ensures that all transactions have been properly
162 >   closed before the database is dropped. Before and After Disconnect event handlers
163 >   are also fired.
164 >
165 > 8. TIBTransaction: OnStartTransaction event now fires every time the transaction
166 >   is started and not just the first time.
167 >
168 > 9. IBDataOutput: Use FormatFloat for all performance statistics to avoid platform
169 >   depenendency with comp type.
170 >
171 > 10. IBDataOutput: select query data output is now sent to stdout instead of stderr.
172 >
173 > 11. TIBDatabase: Remove regression. If a user login dialog changes the DatabaseName
174 >    then this is recognised and not ignored.
175 >
176 > 12. TIBDataSet, TIBQuery, TIBTable: additions:
177 >    function GetRowsAffected(var SelectCount, InsertCount, UpdateCount, DeleteCount: integer): boolean;
178 >    function GetPerfStatistics(var stats: TPerfCounters): boolean;
179 >    property EnableStatistics: boolean read FEnableStatistics write SetEnableStatistics;
180 >
181 >    GetRowsAffected returns the affected row counts from the last insert/update/delete
182 >    if EnableStatistics = true then GetPerfStatistics returns the current stats
183 >    counters for the select query. Note: stats accumulate after each fetch from
184 >    the database. To get total query cost after open, call the "Last" method
185 >    and then GetPerfStatistics.
186 >
187 >    See ibx/examples/consolemode for an example of the use of GetPerfStatistics
188 >
189 > 13. TIBExtract: Identity columns DDL. "Start with clause" now correctly encapsulated
190 >    in parenthesises.
191 >
192 > 14. TIBExtract: new published property "AlwaysQuoteIdentifiers". If true then in dialect 3
193 >    SQL identifiers are always delimited by double quotes. If false, then they are
194 >    only delimited if the identifier is a reserved word, contains lower case or special
195 >    characters. Set this property to true to retain previous behaviour.
196 >
197 > 15. Insert SQL Property Editor. In Insert Returning Clause, Identity column names
198 >    are now inserted in double quotes if not Reserved Words or valid SQL Identifiers.
199 >
200 > 16. TIBDataSet, TIBQuery, TIBTable: addition:
201 >       property MasterDetailDelay: integer {defaults to zero}
202 >
203 >    When non-zero and the dataset is a detail table referencing a master table
204 >    through either a MasterSource (TIBTable) or a DataSource (TIBDataSet, TIBQuery)
205 >    then a synchronisation delay is added (in milliseconds) between the master
206 >    row changing and the detail dataset being re-opened. If the master dataset
207 >    is scrolled before the delay expires then the delay is reset. This can be used
208 >    to avoid performance overheads when scrolling through a large master dataset.
209 >
210 >    Note: uses fptimer and hence requires a thread manager. Under Linux the
211 >    chreads unit must be included in your project. TTimer is not used in order
212 >    to avoid an LCL dependency. Requires FPC 3.0.2 or later.
213 >
214 > 17. TIBExtract: User role grants now excluded when etGrantsToUser not specified
215 >    with Extract Option eoDatabase.
216 >
217 > 18. TIBLookupComboEditBox: Workaround added for https://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=33428
218 >    When a deLayoutChanged event is reported on the ListSource dataset, the
219 >    combobox text is updated. This allows a listsource (detail) to be in a Master/Detail
220 >    relationship with the control's datasource (master).
221 >
222 > 19. TIBExtract: Full BigInt value range now supported for Generators/Sequences.
223 >
224 > 20. TIBExtract: Select Procedures (Procedure type 1) now include "SUSPEND;" clause in their
225 >    stubs. Pedantic fix really, as procedures output in dependency order anyway.
226 >
227 > 21. TIBExtract: Package Headers and Package Bodies are now included in the extracted
228 >    DDL (Firebird 3 and later only).
229 >
230 > 22. TIBLookupComboBox Autocomplete Fixes:
231 >    i. Only appended text is now selected after autocomplete.
232 >    ii. Uppercase keys no longer ignored for autocomplete.
233 >    iii. Retain Prefix case is now honoured correctly.
234 >    iv. When a DataSource is assigned, typing after autocomplete now extends prefix
235 >        before autocomplete performed. i.e. behaviour now the same as when
236 >        no DataSource assigned.
237 >
238 > 23. TIBXScript: Single Line Comments starting with '--' are now ignored when occurring
239 >    between SQL statements.
240 >
241 > 24. TIBExtract: New published property CaseSensitiveObjectNames. If false (default) then
242 >    ObjectNames are converted to upper case before matching against metadata object
243 >    names, unless the objectname is delimited by double quotes, in which case, the
244 >    double quotes are removed and the remaining string is used (unmodified) to match
245 >    against the metadata object name.
246 >
247 >    If true then the ObjectName is used as is without modification and matched
248 >    against the metadata object name. No attempt is made to remove double quotes.
249 >
250 > 25. TIBExtract: New Extract Types: etDatabaseTriggers and etDDLTriggers. When used
251 >    with eoTrigger, these extract types can be used to select only Database Triggers,
252 >    or DDL Triggers or both. Ignored when etTable or etTrigger included in Extract Types.
253 >
254 > 26. TIBXScript: If an exception occurs during the processing of a statement, the
255 >    statement separate character is now reset to the default (';').
256 >
257 > 27. TIBDatabase: Reconnect method added and used by TIBXScript for reconnect.
258 >
259 > 28. TIBXScript: Transaction is no longer automatically reactivated immediately processing
260 >    a commit or reconnect statement and instead activated only when next SQL statement
261 >    is executed.
262 >
263 > 29. TIBSQL.HasField should no longer generate and exception when the field does not exist.
264 >
265 > 30. TIBXScript: case insensitive regex now used when matching statements instead of
266 >    converting statement to upper case.
267 >
268 > 31. TIBExtract: metadata comments now supported. New published property
269 >    IncludeMetaDataComments (default true). If true then metadata comments included
270 >    in extracted DDL. New Extract Object member eoComments. This may be used with
271 >    ExtractObject method to list all metadata comments.
272 >
273 > 32. TIBExtract: ListObjectNames method added.
274 >
275 > 33. Updated Database component editor to support additional connection string
276 >    types.
277 >
278 > IBX Change Log  version  (2.2-0) Wed, 28 Feb 2018 10:57:45 +0000
279 >
280 > NOTE: THE LOCATIONS OF SOME OF THE UNIT DIRECTORIES HAS CHANGED FROM IBX 2.1. THIS IS TO
281 > AVOID DUPLICATE PPU WARNINGS. PLEASE REMOVE EARLIER VERSIONS OF IBX BEFORE INSTALLING THIS
282 > RELEASE.
283 >
284 > NOTE: THE DBADMIN DEMO REQUIRES THAT THE MemDSLaz PACKAGE IS INSTALLED IN THE LAZARUS IDE.
285  
286   1. IBExtract: Identity columns - add additional check for null column for generator name.
287  
# Line 15 | Line 298 | IBX Change Log  version
298     a returning clause that updates one or more fields on the current row. A full row
299     refresh is only performed if (a) ForcedRefresh is true or (b) the query does not return any
300     field values and the select query contains read only fields. Use of Insert/update
301 <   returning should be significantly more efficient than excuting a refresh query.
301 >   returning should be significantly more efficient than executing a refresh query.
302  
303     This behaviour change is intended to be backwards compatible and there should be no need to change
304     existing programs, other than to improve performance by using the new capability.
305  
306 < 3. TIBTable: generated Insert and Update SQL now include a RETURNING clause for
306 > 3. IBCustomDataSet: DELETE...RETURNING queries are now also recognised. However, as
307 >   they are called when the dataset row is being deleted, there is no value in
308 >   updating the current record from the query result. Instead, a new event handler
309 >   "OnDeleteReturning" is provided. If a DELETE...RETURNING query is execute and
310 >   an OnDeleteReturning event handler is provided then it is called with the IResults returned
311 >   by the query. The event handler can then interrogate the query results and
312 >   perform whatever action is necessary. For example to confirm, to the user,
313 >   the deletion of a row with the returned values.
314 >
315 > 4. TIBTable: generated Insert and Update SQL now include a RETURNING clause for
316     any Computed By or Identity Columns. The IBTables example has been updated to
317     illustrate the computation of the employee Full Name on update.
318  
319 < 4. TIBTable: The GeneratorField property is now published.
319 > 5. TIBTable: The GeneratorField property is now published.
320  
321 < 5. The InsertSQL property editor now shows Firebird 3 Identity columns separate from the Field List.
321 > 6. The InsertSQL property editor now shows Firebird 3 Identity columns separate from the Field List.
322     When InsertSQL is generated, the Identity columns are not included in the list of values to
323     be inserted. A RETURNING clause is added to the insert statement to return the value of
324     each Identity column after the insert is executed.
325  
326 < 6. The Modify Property Editor now generates Update SQL with Computed By fields in Update..Returning clause.
326 > 7. The Modify Property Editor now generates Update SQL with Computed By fields in Update..Returning clause.
327     Similarly Insert Property Editor now generates Insert SQL with Computed By fields in
328     Insert..Returning clause.
329  
330 < 7. TIBGenerator: small performance improvement by not preparing query each time
330 > 8. TIBGenerator: small performance improvement by not preparing query each time
331     a new value is generated.
332  
333 < 8. TIBSQL: Free resources when transaction changed - ensures new transaction is used.
333 > 9. TIBSQL: Free resources when transaction changed - ensures new transaction is used.
334  
335 < 9. Property editors will now sync table name to a System Table when "Include System
336 <   Tables" is selected and the query is for a System Table.
335 > 10. Property editors will now sync table name to a System Table when "Include System
336 >    Tables" is selected and the query is for a System Table.
337  
338 < 10. Minor Performance improvement to handling of Date/Time types in IBX datasets. Field
338 > 11. Minor Performance improvement to handling of Date/Time types in IBX datasets. Field
339      values are no longer converted to milliseconds from TDateTime and then back again
340      to TDateTime (the conversion to milliseconds is the default TDataset approach).
341  
342 < 11. Property Editors handling of Stored Procedures.
342 > 12. Property Editors handling of Stored Procedures.
343      * Select and Refresh: only show a list of stored procedures that return multiple rows (proc type 1) and
344        which have a non-empty list of output parameters (i.e. stored procedures that may be used in a select
345        query).
346      * Modify and Insert: only show a list of stored procedures that return at most a singleton row (proc type 2).
347  
348 < 12. IBStoredProc: Now supports Firebird 3 Package Names. A new published property PackageName
348 > 13. IBStoredProc: Now supports Firebird 3 Package Names. A new published property PackageName
349      can be used to select a package. If non-empty, the stored procedure name is
350      expected to be a stored procedure defined in the specified package and the
351      generated SQL will be as required for a stored procedure located in a package.
352  
353 < 13. Select, Refresh, Insert, Modify, Delete and TIBSQL SQL Property Editors now include
353 > 14. Select, Refresh, Insert, Modify, Delete and TIBSQL SQL Property Editors now include
354      a "Package Name" drop down box to allow selection of a Firebird 3 Package from
355      which a stored procedure can be selected. With no package name selected, non-package
356      stored procedures are listed.
357  
358 < 14. TIBXScript: turn off database login prompt when reconnecting - this avoids prompting
358 > 15. TIBXScript: turn off database login prompt when reconnecting - this avoids prompting
359      for password on reconnect.
360  
361 + 16. TIBDatabase: use IAttachment for connection default character set id, code page
362 +    and character set name.
363 +
364 + 17. TIBDatabaseInfo: cache ODS Version information on first request in order to minimise
365 +    DB info lookups"
366 +
367 + 18. IBExtract: now supports DDL Triggers and Grants to DDL objects.
368 +
369 + 19. Add a property Editor for TIBUpdate.RefreshSQL.
370 +
371 + 20. IBUpdate: Ignore non-data (e.g. calculated) fields when assembling list of input
372 +    parameters. This stops an exception being raised when the field cannot be
373 +    located in the record buffer.
374 +
375 + 21. Property Editors now automatically include System Tables when opened and when the query table
376 +    is a System Table.
377 +
378 + 22. IBServices: SQRB and SRB buffers are now reset when service query throws an exception.
379 +    This avoids errors due to a stale SQRB or SRB being used for the next query.
380 +
381 + 23. IBServices: Service attach parameters now include "expected_db". This is used to
382 +    add the SPB item isc_spb_expected_db. This names a database using
383 +    an alternative Security Database (FB3 onwards) and allows (e.g. backup/restore) using such a
384 +    database. examples/services re-written to illustrate use of "expected_db".
385 +
386 + 24. IBServices: TIBControlAndQueryService.WriteNextChunk no longer ignores isc_info_svc_timeout.
387 +    This avoids truncated backups when the server returns a timeout (busy) response.
388 +
389 + 25. TIBDatabase: isc_dpb_page_size now supported as a database parameter when using TIBDatabase.CreateDatabase.
390 +
391 + 26. TIBDatabase: DatabaseName property may now be prefixed by $TEMP$ or $DATADIR$ for local
392 +    databasenames. These are respectively expanded to the local system's temp directory
393 +    (including trailing delimiter) or to a prescribed data directory (including
394 +    trailing delimiter). Under Unix systems the data directory is a hidden directory
395 +    in the user's home directory. The hidden directory name is either the string returned
396 +    from the SysUtils "Vendor Name" or "IBX" if empty. In either case prefixed by a '.'.
397 +    Under Windows, the directory is the same as the Data Directory as decribed
398 +    above but instead prefixed by the User's application data path. These may be
399 +    used to improve application portability for Personal Databases.
400 +
401 + 27. TIBTable: FieldDefs property is no longer published. Due to the use of TIBFieldDef
402 +    this has not worked for a long time and is not useful either. FieldDefs should be
403 +    managed using the Fields Editor as with any other dataset. To access the fields
404 +    editor for a TIBTable component, double click on the component. The fields editor
405 +    is then displayed.
406 +
407 + 28. TIBDatabaseInfo: new properties/function
