Version 1.7.2.255

In version 1.7.2 the last stage of the realization of UNICODE mode of provider operation was completed. Let us recall that this in this mode is achieved transformation of text data in UNICODE and back with the use of a code page of connection to the database (ctype but not the current code page of the operating system.)

Thanks

• The enormous thanks to Sergey Wawin for the patience and the support in the process of testing of new version. Including to the subject of compatibility with Crystal Report. In the latter case, we desire success in the intercourse with CR apropos of the solution of the revealed problems.
• Gabban O'Loughlin - for the detection of assert from Stored Procedure.
• To all registered users, which tested version 1.7.2.248.

News

• The conversion of the query text from UNICODE into ANSI string according to the same rules, as text given. Thus, in the query text it is possible to use string constants with the national characters. First of all Anti Nivala indicated this problem.
• System (new and user queries to the database use united a mechanism of the conversion of text in UNICODE. For this it was necessary to make the small expansion of the low-level class library of C++ for the work with IB API. This class library is included in the distributive set.)
• Unfortunately, the last versions Of IB6.x and FireBird do not permit the use of national characters for the object names of the database. Therefore we could not verify the support of such cases.
• Insignificant errors and deviations from the OLEDB standard are corrected.

Class library for the work with OLEDB

Two new classes t_db_auto_commit è t_db_auto_rollback (oledb_client_lib.h (cpp)) - highly useful things for organizing forced completions of the transactions.

Classes for the work with IB API

As it was already written above, the tuned support of national characters was realized. In my opinion this there will be the first class library of C++ for IB API, where (as into IBProvider) a support to all data types of InterBase is realized. In general, look its source code.

We tried to make thorough checking and testing of new version. Therefore we sincerely hope that the passage to this version will manage without any problems. But, nevertheless, in the case of any error - write.
