14. Distribution of IBExpert Modules
* To be allowed to distribute any of the
IBExpert Modules (ibexpert.exe, ibescript.exe,
ibescript.dll) together with your application,
you need:
-IBExpert Site License, if the distribution is
located only on computers in your own company
-IBExpert VAR License, if the distribution is
located on any computer outside your company
If you are already IBExpert customer, you can
upgrade to Site or VAR License and directly
buy the 24 month Extension Product.
See www.ibexpert.com Purchase Area for Details
Some functions of the new IBExpert Modules do
not work on Non licensed Computers, so you can
only use them, where your IBExpert License is
valid.
Customers with Site License are allowed to
make them work on every computer in their
company just by copying the License file to
the path, where the module (such as
ibescript.exe) should run.
VAR License Customers may also integrate
these modules and the License file in their
Software installation.
NEW:
A lot of customers asked us regarding a cheaper possibility to
use our ibeblock technology for their own software.
The IBExpert VAR License gives a distribution license for all
modules including the IBExpert IDE. Some smaller software companies
just asked for a way to integrate our technology for a cheaper price.
Because we always respect our customers wishes, we created 2 new
products:
1. IBEScript EXE Distribution License
2. IBEScript DLL Distribution License
The IBEScript Distribution License gives you the unlimited right
to integrate IBEScript.exe or IBEScript.dll in your application.
you can use it for executing ibeblock scripts that connect to
different databases at the same time, integrate any odbc connection
as source or destination, simple data import and export, metadata
comparison and much more.
More examples can be found here
http://www.ibexpert.info/documentation/20297.html
For using the distribution license, no keys are needed. You do
not even need ibexpert full version, but the integrated debugger
will help you to develop working scripts.
The distribution license contains only the file ibescript.exe or
ibescript.dll and the unlimited right to distribute it together
with your software.
—————————————————————–
1. What is IBEScript EXE?
IBEScript.exe can be used to execute any valid IBExpert script in
batchfiles. For example a scheduled import or export job can be
started without the need of any user input.
IBEScript.exe can also be used to encrypt script files, so that
they are unreadable for the user, but executable together with
IBEScript.exe
2. What is IBEScript DLL?
When you want to integrate IBExperts scripts in your own application,
you can use IBEScript.dll. A simple example for Delphi can be found
in IBExperts IBEScriptDll subdirectory. It can also be used from all
other programming languages that can handle DLL calls.
3. What is IBEBLOCK?
It is a set of DDL, DML and other statements that are executed on
the server and on the client side, and which include some specific
constructions applicable only in IBExpert or IBEScript (excluding
the free versions of these products), independent of the database
server version.
With EXECUTE IBEBLOCK you will be able to:
* Work with different connections within the single IBEBLOCK at
the same time.
* Move (copy) data from one database to another.
* Join tables from different databases.
* Compare data from different databases and synchronize them.
* Populate a table with test data using random values or values
from other tables or even from other databases or ODBC Connections.
* … and much more.
The syntax of IBEBLOCK is similar to that of stored procedures but
there are many important extensions. For example:
* You can use EXECUTE STATEMENT with any server, including
InterBase 5.x, 6.x, 7.x.
* You can use one-dimensional arrays (lists) of untyped variables
and access them by index.
* It isn’t necessary to declare variables before using them.
* You can use data sets (temporary memory tables) to store data.
* … and much more.
4. Simple ibeblock example to copy data between two databases incl blobs
execute ibeblock
as
begin
create connection src dbname ‘localhost:c:src.fdb’
password ‘repl’ user ‘REPL’ clientlib ‘fbclient.dll’;
create connection dest dbname ‘localhost:c:dest.fdb’
password ‘repl’ user ‘REPL’ clientlib ‘fbclient.dll’;
use src;
for select id, usr, ts, sql, idx, dat
from ibe$log
into :id, :usr, :ts, :sql, :idx, :dat
do
begin
use dest;
insert into ibe$log(id, usr, ts, sql, idx, dat)
values (:id, :usr, :ts, :sql, :idx, :dat);
end
use dest;
commit;
close connection src;
close connection dest;
end
You can execute single IBEBLOCKs via the SQL Editor. You can debug them
in the SQL Editor too. They are debugged in the same way as stored
procedures and triggers. Also you can include IBEBLOCKs into your
scripts and execute these scripts as usual – using the Script
Executive or IBEScript.exe.

16. IBExpertWebForms Server Script Version now available
With IBExpertWebforms you can create database-based web applications.
Just place your VCL components in the integrated form designer,
connect them with your tables or queries as a data source using
the integrated object inspector, and create your events as stored
procedures inside your Firebird or InterBase database.
The result is handled by a PHP script, which is used by the Apache
web server on Windows, Linux or any other operating system which
supports Apache, PHP and Firebird or InterBase.
The main advantage: you do not need any know-how regarding Java
script, HTML, Ajax, PHP, etc. to create your database web
application. All operations are done inside your database and
you just need to learn some very simple extensions and rules
based on your existing Firebird and InterBase knowledge.
Prices can be found in our shop on
http://www.hk-software.net/h-k.de/en/shop
