We just released the version v3.00 of the pgExpress driver.
This is a
major upgrade.
About the pgExpress Driver:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The Vita Voom pgExpress PostgreSQL dbExpress Driver is a
Borland
Kylix/Delphi 6+/C++ Builder 6.0+ dbExpress Driver that directly
access
PostgreSQL 7.1 or newer: no ODBC layer is needed. It can access
use
almost all field types, and is compliant to the Borland
specifications
of dbExpress drivers.
Changes in this version include:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
- Enhanced PostgreSQL 8.0 support.
- Delphi 8 and 9 support.
- Asynchronous connections support. This allows cancelling
queries in
execution. See more on Section 4.10, "Canceling a query".
- libpq updated to v8.01.
- New standard-based translation system: gettext. This will
allow anyone
to make it's own translation, contribute a translation, or even
modify
existing ones.
- Added multiple transactions support (PostgreSQL 8+)
- The traditional PGEDemo demo now has two versions: CLX and
VCL.
- Internal code cleanup and rearrangement.
- Now pgExpress reads the actual object's name size from the
server
(ISQLMedata.eMetaMaxObjectNameLength option). This will allow
the
pgExpress Driver to adjust itself better to custom builds of
the server
where the the NAME fields are not default (64 chars).
- New key/registration system.
- Fixed ServerDecimalSeparator issue with localized servers,
specially
those which use "," as decimal separator.
- Fixed a bug in PostgreSQL bytea fields (VarBytes/Bytes
field): it was
missing the 2 bytes length specifier at the beginning of the
stream.
- Fixed TimeStampTz fields issue with locales that use "," as
decimal
separator.
- Fixed ISQLMetadata.Getprocedures method to be more
schema-friendly.
- Fixed handling of seconds fractions on TSQLTimespamp
fields.
