What’s new in Active Query Builder 1.7.5?
- We have implemented retrieval of extended information about user parameters in the query: data type, related table and field names.
Most of demo projects now have example of retrieving such information. - We have made the new property to get access to output columns of the query. It allows you to retrieve maximum information about output columns: SQL Expression and alias of expression, Object name, Object alias and Field name.
- Better handling of the asterisk item in SELECT list: now the asterisk item (*) is added to a query by default and removed automatically when any other item is added to SELECT list.
- Multiple fixes and improvements for InterBase/Firebird dialect.
Active Query Builder is a visual query building component (Delphi, ActiveX, .Net-ready) with user-friendly interface and unique query research abilities.
