Luxena dbExpress eXtension 2.2.4

dbExpress eXtension is a component set for Delphi, C++Builder and Kylix development IDEs.

The set is a successor of Borland dbExpress components and is a great help for dbExpress developer. dbExpress eXtension is unique BDE and ADO alternative for dbExpress development.

Here are some key features of "Luxena dbExpress eXtension":

· Db-aware controls (grid, etc.) link directly to our datasets. TClientDataSet and TDataSetProvider are no longer needed to display data from dataset;
· Multi-table join, stored procedure, union results can be easily edited with TDBXUpdateSQL that links to any eXtension dataset;
· Multi-database development is much easier with eXtension. Write and support only one special MacroSQL for different databases;
· Migrating from BDE and ADO to dbExpress is much easier with dbExpress eXtension components, due to the simple and familiar interface.


What's New in This Release:

· TDBXConnection.ApplyUpdates. Use this method to apply updates in a single transaction to many datasets
· the MaxTime property has been added to PoolOptions. The property specifies how long an idle connections will be live even if the total connection count is less than Min value. This allows to force connection close when there are some network restrictions like the idle network connection lifetime limitation
· all dataset components now supports the IDBXDataSetExtension interface to enable polymorphic usage of dataset features not present in standard dbExpress components
· the Prepare, Unprepare and CommitUpdates methods have been added to all dataset components
· the AutoCommitUpdates property has been added to specify whetherthe CommitUpdates method should be automatically called after a successful ApplyUpdates call
· the connection pool demo has been added
· SQL syntax error occured when a connection pool is enabled and a metadata requiring component is used (for instance TDBXTable)
· the TDBXQuery issue when it is placed into a frame and opened in the frame constructor or the AfterConstruction method
· the Locate and LocateNext methods now cast key values to the corresponding fields types (previous versions cast the field value to the key value type). As an example this enables to find a record with the integer field value equals to 8 by the string key value '08'


Limitations:

· 30 days trial
