3 > 1.  TIBXDataSet and Generators: Generator Names that are not all upper case or
4 >    not SQL Identifiers are now supported.
5 >
6 > 2.  TIBXScript: Set Generator is no longer rejected as unrecognised SQL and is
7 >    passed to the Firebird engine for execution.
8 >
9 > 3.  TIBDataSet: Unidirectional datasets now give an error message if an attempt
10 >    is made to scroll back.
11 >
12 > 4.  New unit: IBMessages.pas. Contains only messages used by IBX and not FBIntf
13 >
14 > 5. TIBLookupComboEditBox: When generating auto-complete SQL, the ListField is now
15 >   only enclosed in double quotes in SQL dialect 3 and when it needs to be.
16 >
17 > 6. TIBLookupComboEditBox: when the list source opens, the ListField name is now
18 >   validated. If no match is found in the list of field names and the database has
19 >   been opened in SQL Dialect 3, then the ListField Name is converted to upper case
20 >   if it then matches a field name. Otherwise, a Listfield not valid exception occurs.

26 >
27 >
28 > 1. New property for TIBDatabase and TIBXServicesConnection. This is "ConfigOverrides"
29 >   and is used to override the default settings in the client side "firebird.conf" This
30 >   includes "WireCompression" and "WireCrypt". The value of this property is a "TStrings".
31 >   Each line of the string list should be a setting in the same format as "firebird.conf".
32 >   For example "WireCompression = true" in order to request wire compression on the client side.
33 >
34 >   Note: explicit settings in the client side "firebird.conf" appear to take precedence
35 >   over settings given in TIBDatabase and TIBXServicesConnection. Many client side settings
36 >   also require a compatible setting in the server side "firebird.conf". For example
37 >   "WireCompression = true" must also be set in the server's "firebird.conf" for wire
38 >   compression to be used.
39 >
40 >   Whether or not WireCompression or WireCrypt are in use can be checked using the information
41 >   returned with the Client/Server protocol version. See ibx/examples/dbadmin and
42 >   ibx/examples/dbinfo for examples of how to display this information.
43 >
44 > 2. New property for TIBDatabase and TIBXServicesConnection: "WireCompression". This
45 >   is a "convenience" property. If set the "WireCompression=true" is added to the
46 >   ConfigOverrides. If unchecked then this setting is removed.
47 >
48 > 3. TIBExtract: 64-bit integer types are now correctly extracted as "BIGINT" and
49 >   not "INT64".
50 >
51 > 4. New published properties for TIBCSVDataOut, TIBInsertStmtsOut and TIBBlockFormatOut
52 >   These are:
53 >    property TimestampFormat: string;
54 >    property DateFormat: string;
55 >    property TimeFormat: string;
56 >
57 >   Respectively, these provide the date time format templates for SQL types: TIMESTAMP,
58 >   DATETIME and TIME. The format strings use the standard FPC date/time format
59 >   characters (see https://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/rtl/sysutils/formatchars.html).
60 >
61 >   If any of the above properties are set to an empty string, then the locale default
62 >   is used. This uses the ShortDateFormat and the LongTimeFormat. In timestamp, the
63 >   locale default is extended by appending '.zzz' to include milliseconds.
64 >
65 >   TIBCSVDataOut by default sets these properties to the empty string, while the other
66 >   two use: 'yyyy.mm.dd hh:nn:ss.zzz', 'yyyy.mm.dd' and 'hh:nn:ss.zzz' respectively.
67 >
68 > 5. New published property for TIBCSVDataOut:
69 >     property QuoteStrings: boolean (default true)
70 >
71 >   If false then strings are unquoted, otherwise, the QuoteChar property value is
72 >   used to delimit each and every string in the output.
73 >
74 > 6. New published properties for TIBCSVDataOut:
75 >    property FieldSeparator: string;
76 >    property HeaderSeparator: string;
77 >
78 >   Respectively, these provide the separator character(s) used to separate fields
79 >   in data and header rows. Both default to ','.
80 >
81 > 7. New published properties for TIBCSVDataOut and TIBBlockFormatOut:
82 >    TOnFormatTextString = procedure(sender: TObject; var TextString: string) of object;
83 >    property OnFormatTextString;
84 >
85 >   This event handler can be used to process text strings before they are included
86 >   in the output e.g. to replace unprintable characters with alternative strings.
87 >   This only applies to columns with an SQL Type of SQL_VARYING and SQL_TEXT.
88 >
89 > 8. TIBDataSet now raises an exception when ParamByName called with an invalid parameter name.
90 >   Uses "FindParam" if in order to find out if a parameter with a given name exists
91 >   and without raising and exception if it does not.
92 >
93 > 9. TIBQuery now uses IBX SQL Parser instead of the TParams SQL parser in order to ensure
94 >   consistency with SQL queries.
95 >
96 > 10. CaseSensitiveParameterNames property added to TIBSQL, TIBDataSet and TIBQuery.
97 >    When true, SQL statement parameter names are parsed case sensitive. Note for
98 >    TIBDataSet only applies to Select query.
99 >
100 > 11. IBEvents: removing a TIBEvent component from a form should no longer result in
101 >    an IDE exception.
102 >
103 > 12. LocalDBSupport: initial database creation should now work correctly
104 >    when the schema source is an sql file.
105 >
106 > 13. TIBCMLocalDBSupport: new event handler "property OnProgressEvent: TOnProgressEvent"
107 >    when defined, this handler will be called by the internal TIBXScript during
108 >    initial database creation when the schema source is an sql file and may be used
109 >    to provide a visual indication of progress in console mode.
110 >
111 > 14. TCustomIBLocalDBSupport: new public property "InOnCreateDB: boolean". This is set
112 >    to true while a new local database is being created and its schema populated.
113 >    Useful in (e.g.) TIBDatabase.OnAfterConnect handler to suppress actions
114 >    when the database is disconnected/connected during the create DB procedure.
115 >
116 > 15. TIBXScript: any User/password parameters found in a CREATE DATABASE statement
117 >    are now always ignored and replaced by the user name and password provided as
118 >    the login parameters for the TIBDatabase referenced from the TIBXScript. The
119 >    IgnoreCreateDatabase property still applies and the CREATE DATABASE statement is
120 >    completely ignored if this property is true.
121 >
122 > 16. Code tidyup in IBTreeView: Node properties initialisation moved from TIBTreeView.AddNodes
123 >    to TIBTreeView.Added. An OnAddition event handler is no longer needed to initialise
124 >    ImageIndex and SelectImageIndex values on AddNode.
125 >
126 > 17. TIBDatabase.Attachment and TIBXServicesConnection.ServicesIntf properties are now
127 >    read/write. This should enabled (e.g.) multiple instances of TIBDatabase to share
128 >    the same database connection.
129 >
130 > 18. TIBDataSet and TIBQuery now support the TDataSet "Filter" property.
131 >    if provided, this should be an conditional SQL expression suitable for
132 >    including in an SQL Select statement "where" clause. If non-empty and the
133 >    "Filtered" property is true then the SQL expression provided as the value of
134 >    the "Filter" property is "ANDed" with any existing condition statement
135 >    in the SQL statement's "Where" clause.
136 >
137 >    If the "Filter" property is set at run time, the "Filtered" property is true
138 >    and the dataset is already open, then the dataset is closed and re-opened automatically.
139 >
140 >    The "Filter" condition may include IBX style parameters. In which case, their
141 >    value must be set by the dataset's "OnBeforeOpen" event handler.
142 >
143 >    This is a public property for TIBDataSet and TIBQuery query and intended for
144 >    use at run time.
145 >
146 >    Note: The property is a published property of TIBTable. The TIBTable functionality
147 >    is unaffected by this change.
148 >
149 > IBX Change Log  version (2.3-2) Wed, 05 Dec 2018 12:19:23 +0000
150 >
151 > 1. Remove need to check for IsMultiThread by providing access to GUI timers via
152 >   IBGUIInterface. Note: master/detail delay timer does not apply to console
153 >   mode apps.
154 >
155 > 2. TIBCustomDataSet: SQLParser ignored if it does not contain a valid select
156 >   statement. This avoids problems if "Execute Block" is used as the Query.
157 >
158 > 3. IBSQLParser now uses the common SQL tokeniser from fbintf. This replaces the
159 >   internal SQL tokeniser routines.
160 >
161 > 4. IBSQLParser: new property NotaSelectStmt. Set to true if SQL fails to parse
162 >   as a select statement, with or without CTEs.
163 >
164 > 5. IBSQLParser: parser now recognises the "ROWS" clause.
165 >
166 > 6. TIBXScript now uses the common SQL tokeniser from fbintf. This replaces the
167 >   internal SQL tokeniser routines.
168 >
169 > 7.  Fix error in TIBXScript processing of "set" statements. This avoids exceptions
170 >    being raised for valid set statements processed by a data formatter.
171 >
172 > 8. New published property for TIBDatabase and TIBXServicesConnection. This is
173 >   FirebirdLibraryPathName: string. If not empty it is used to explicitly specify
174 >   the path of the Firebird Library used by the database/services connection.
175 >
176 > 9. New read only public property for TIBDatabase and TIBXServicesConnection. This
177 >   is FirebirdAPI and returns the IFirebirdAPI interface used by the database/
178 >   services connection.
179 >
180 > 10.SQL Property editors now quote parameter names if "Quote identifier" is selected
181 >   or param name is not a valid SQL identifier.
182 >
183 > 11. IBLookupComboEditBox: In Lazarus 2.0, TDBLookupComboBox takes a more restrictive
184 >    view of whether the text box should be editable when no DataSource is specified.
185 >    TIBLookupComboEditBox has been updated to workaround this problem. As long as
186 >    ReadOnly is false, the text box is editable when no DataSource is specified.
187 >
188 > 12. AllowUseOfFBLIB is now set to "true" at design time. This is to allow use of
189 >    the FBLIB environment variable. If you do not want to permit this then you
190 >    must modify the Register procedure in the design/IBDBReg.pas unit to remove
191 >    this setting.
192 >
193 > IBX Change Log  version                 (2.3-1) Thu, 25 Oct 2018 14:39:45 +0100
194 >
195 > 1. IBCustomDataset: replace deprecated function ValidUTF8String with call to
196 >   Utf8EscapeControlChars
197 >
198 > IBX Change Log  version                (2.3-0) Mon, 16 Apr 2018 09:48:06 +0100
199 >
200 > IMPORTANT: the source code tree has been re-organised for IBX 2.3. Please remove
201 > all previous copies of the IBX source code tree before installing this release.
202 >
203 > The IBX packages used by most users have not changed, with one exception. The
204 > IBServices unit has been moved to the package iblegacyServices.lpk. To continue
205 > to use the IBServices unit in your applications, please add the iblegacyServices
206 > to the list of dependencies. To do this, open the Project Inspector and select
207 > Add->New Requirement and select "ibLegacyServices" from the list of available
208 > packages.
209 >
210 > 1. New unit IBXServices. The IBXServices unit is a re-architectured update of
211 >   the IBServices unit providing what is intended to be a clearer and easier to
212 >   use set of IB Services components. See Chapter 10 of the IBX User Guide for
213 >   more information and the guide to "Firebird Service Management Using IBX".
214 >   As indicated above, the legacy services components are still available and
215 >   provided in a separate package. There is no need to update working applications
216 >   using the older versions except for an additional package dependency.
217 >
218 > 2. The IBX packages and source code tree have been re-organised in an attempt to
219 >   finally get rid of the "duplicate ppu" warnings. This re-organisation should
220 >   not affect existing users. Section 2.3 of the IBX User Guide describes the
221 >   new set of IBX packages.
222 >
223 > 3. The ibx/examples/DBAdmin and the ibx/examples/services example have been
224 >   updated to use the new Services API components.
225 >
226 > 4. The iblocal package has been updated to use the new Services API components.
227 >
228 > 5. procedure SetAutoAdmin; in the new IBX Services this method is now a member of
229 >   TIBXSecurityService. It had been wrongly classified in the previous version
230 >   as a per database configuration item. It is global to a server and hence
231 >   correctly positioned as part of the Security Package. In the DBAdmin example,
232 >   the setting has moved to the mappings page.
233 >
234 > 6. TIBXScript: IgnoreCreateDatabase added. If true then CREATE DATABASE statements
235 >   are ignored.
236 >
237 > 7. TIBDatabase: DropDatabase now ensures that all transactions have been properly
238 >   closed before the database is dropped. Before and After Disconnect event handlers
239 >   are also fired.
240 >
241 > 8. TIBTransaction: OnStartTransaction event now fires every time the transaction
242 >   is started and not just the first time.
243 >
244 > 9. IBDataOutput: Use FormatFloat for all performance statistics to avoid platform
245 >   depenendency with comp type.
246 >
247 > 10. IBDataOutput: select query data output is now sent to stdout instead of stderr.
248 >
249 > 11. TIBDatabase: Remove regression. If a user login dialog changes the DatabaseName
250 >    then this is recognised and not ignored.
251 >
252 > 12. TIBDataSet, TIBQuery, TIBTable: additions:
253 >    function GetRowsAffected(var SelectCount, InsertCount, UpdateCount, DeleteCount: integer): boolean;
254 >    function GetPerfStatistics(var stats: TPerfCounters): boolean;
255 >    property EnableStatistics: boolean read FEnableStatistics write SetEnableStatistics;
256 >
257 >    GetRowsAffected returns the affected row counts from the last insert/update/delete
258 >    if EnableStatistics = true then GetPerfStatistics returns the current stats
259 >    counters for the select query. Note: stats accumulate after each fetch from
260 >    the database. To get total query cost after open, call the "Last" method
261 >    and then GetPerfStatistics.
262 >
263 >    See ibx/examples/consolemode for an example of the use of GetPerfStatistics
264 >
265 > 13. TIBExtract: Identity columns DDL. "Start with clause" now correctly encapsulated
266 >    in parenthesises.
267 >
268 > 14. TIBExtract: new published property "AlwaysQuoteIdentifiers". If true then in dialect 3
269 >    SQL identifiers are always delimited by double quotes. If false, then they are
270 >    only delimited if the identifier is a reserved word, contains lower case or special
271 >    characters. Set this property to true to retain previous behaviour.
272 >
273 > 15. Insert SQL Property Editor. In Insert Returning Clause, Identity column names
274 >    are now inserted in double quotes if not Reserved Words or valid SQL Identifiers.
275 >
276 > 16. TIBDataSet, TIBQuery, TIBTable: addition:
277 >       property MasterDetailDelay: integer {defaults to zero}
278 >
279 >    When non-zero and the dataset is a detail table referencing a master table
280 >    through either a MasterSource (TIBTable) or a DataSource (TIBDataSet, TIBQuery)
281 >    then a synchronisation delay is added (in milliseconds) between the master
282 >    row changing and the detail dataset being re-opened. If the master dataset
283 >    is scrolled before the delay expires then the delay is reset. This can be used
284 >    to avoid performance overheads when scrolling through a large master dataset.
285 >
286 >    Note: uses fptimer and hence requires a thread manager. Under Linux the
287 >    chreads unit must be included in your project. TTimer is not used in order
288 >    to avoid an LCL dependency. Requires FPC 3.0.2 or later.
289 >
290 > 17. TIBExtract: User role grants now excluded when etGrantsToUser not specified
291 >    with Extract Option eoDatabase.
292 >
293 > 18. TIBLookupComboEditBox: Workaround added for https://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=33428
294 >    When a deLayoutChanged event is reported on the ListSource dataset, the
295 >    combobox text is updated. This allows a listsource (detail) to be in a Master/Detail
296 >    relationship with the control's datasource (master).
297 >
298 > 19. TIBExtract: Full BigInt value range now supported for Generators/Sequences.
299 >
300 > 20. TIBExtract: Select Procedures (Procedure type 1) now include "SUSPEND;" clause in their
301 >    stubs. Pedantic fix really, as procedures output in dependency order anyway.
302 >
303 > 21. TIBExtract: Package Headers and Package Bodies are now included in the extracted
304 >    DDL (Firebird 3 and later only).
305 >
306 > 22. TIBLookupComboBox Autocomplete Fixes:
307 >    i. Only appended text is now selected after autocomplete.
308 >    ii. Uppercase keys no longer ignored for autocomplete.
309 >    iii. Retain Prefix case is now honoured correctly.
310 >    iv. When a DataSource is assigned, typing after autocomplete now extends prefix
311 >        before autocomplete performed. i.e. behaviour now the same as when
312 >        no DataSource assigned.
313 >
314 > 23. TIBXScript: Single Line Comments starting with '--' are now ignored when occurring
315 >    between SQL statements.
316 >
317 > 24. TIBExtract: New published property CaseSensitiveObjectNames. If false (default) then
318 >    ObjectNames are converted to upper case before matching against metadata object
319 >    names, unless the objectname is delimited by double quotes, in which case, the
320 >    double quotes are removed and the remaining string is used (unmodified) to match
321 >    against the metadata object name.
322 >
323 >    If true then the ObjectName is used as is without modification and matched
324 >    against the metadata object name. No attempt is made to remove double quotes.
325 >
326 > 25. TIBExtract: New Extract Types: etDatabaseTriggers and etDDLTriggers. When used
327 >    with eoTrigger, these extract types can be used to select only Database Triggers,
328 >    or DDL Triggers or both. Ignored when etTable or etTrigger included in Extract Types.
329 >
330 > 26. TIBXScript: If an exception occurs during the processing of a statement, the
331 >    statement separate character is now reset to the default (';').
332 >
333 > 27. TIBDatabase: Reconnect method added and used by TIBXScript for reconnect.
334 >
335 > 28. TIBXScript: Transaction is no longer automatically reactivated immediately processing
336 >    a commit or reconnect statement and instead activated only when next SQL statement
337 >    is executed.
338 >
339 > 29. TIBSQL.HasField should no longer generate and exception when the field does not exist.
340 >
341 > 30. TIBXScript: case insensitive regex now used when matching statements instead of
342 >    converting statement to upper case.
343 >
344 > 31. TIBExtract: metadata comments now supported. New published property
345 >    IncludeMetaDataComments (default true). If true then metadata comments included
346 >    in extracted DDL. New Extract Object member eoComments. This may be used with
347 >    ExtractObject method to list all metadata comments.
348 >
349 > 32. TIBExtract: ListObjectNames method added.
350 >
351 > 33. Updated Database component editor to support additional connection string
352 >    types.
353 >
354 > IBX Change Log  version  (2.2-0) Wed, 28 Feb 2018 10:57:45 +0000
355 >
356 > NOTE: THE LOCATIONS OF SOME OF THE UNIT DIRECTORIES HAS CHANGED FROM IBX 2.1. THIS IS TO
357 > AVOID DUPLICATE PPU WARNINGS. PLEASE REMOVE EARLIER VERSIONS OF IBX BEFORE INSTALLING THIS
358 > RELEASE.
359 >
360 > NOTE: THE DBADMIN DEMO REQUIRES THAT THE MemDSLaz PACKAGE IS INSTALLED IN THE LAZARUS IDE.
361  
362   1. IBExtract: Identity columns - add additional check for null column for generator name.
363  
# Line 15 | Line 374 | IBX Change Log  version
374     a returning clause that updates one or more fields on the current row. A full row
375     refresh is only performed if (a) ForcedRefresh is true or (b) the query does not return any
376     field values and the select query contains read only fields. Use of Insert/update
377 <   returning should be significantly more efficient than excuting a refresh query.
377 >   returning should be significantly more efficient than executing a refresh query.
378  
379     This behaviour change is intended to be backwards compatible and there should be no need to change
380     existing programs, other than to improve performance by using the new capability.
# Line 75 | Line 434 | IBX Change Log  version
434   15. TIBXScript: turn off database login prompt when reconnecting - this avoids prompting
435      for password on reconnect.
436  
437 < 16. IBDatabase: use IAttachment for connection default character set id, code page
437 > 16. TIBDatabase: use IAttachment for connection default character set id, code page
438      and character set name.
439  
440   17. TIBDatabaseInfo: cache ODS Version information on first request in order to minimise
441      DB info lookups"
442  
443 < 18. IBExtract: now supports DDL Triggers.
443 > 18. IBExtract: now supports DDL Triggers and Grants to DDL objects.
444 >
445 > 19. Add a property Editor for TIBUpdate.RefreshSQL.
446 >
447 > 20. IBUpdate: Ignore non-data (e.g. calculated) fields when assembling list of input
448 >    parameters. This stops an exception being raised when the field cannot be
449 >    located in the record buffer.
450 >
451 > 21. Property Editors now automatically include System Tables when opened and when the query table
452 >    is a System Table.
453 >
454 > 22. IBServices: SQRB and SRB buffers are now reset when service query throws an exception.
455 >    This avoids errors due to a stale SQRB or SRB being used for the next query.
456 >
457 > 23. IBServices: Service attach parameters now include "expected_db". This is used to
458 >    add the SPB item isc_spb_expected_db. This names a database using
459 >    an alternative Security Database (FB3 onwards) and allows (e.g. backup/restore) using such a
460 >    database. examples/services re-written to illustrate use of "expected_db".
461 >
462 > 24. IBServices: TIBControlAndQueryService.WriteNextChunk no longer ignores isc_info_svc_timeout.
463 >    This avoids truncated backups when the server returns a timeout (busy) response.
464 >
465 > 25. TIBDatabase: isc_dpb_page_size now supported as a database parameter when using TIBDatabase.CreateDatabase.
466 >
467 > 26. TIBDatabase: DatabaseName property may now be prefixed by $TEMP$ or $DATADIR$ for local
468 >    databasenames. These are respectively expanded to the local system's temp directory
469 >    (including trailing delimiter) or to a prescribed data directory (including
470 >    trailing delimiter). Under Unix systems the data directory is a hidden directory
471 >    in the user's home directory. The hidden directory name is either the string returned
472 >    from the SysUtils "Vendor Name" or "IBX" if empty. In either case prefixed by a '.'.
473 >    Under Windows, the directory is the same as the Data Directory as decribed
474 >    above but instead prefixed by the User's application data path. These may be
475 >    used to improve application portability for Personal Databases.
