ZeosLib 7.0.3 stable for Delphi/Lazarus is released

Leave a comment

Stable version of zeoslib 7 is released.

The most important improvement you’ll find in this version is support for the compilers Delphi2009 and newer, with their unicode strings.

Other changes in this release are
– Some new components for grouping connections (alpha status)
– Postgres event alerter component comparable with the existing Interbase/Firebird event alerter (alpha status)
– Pooled connections (alpha status)
– Real prepared statement support (always for firebird, on demand for mysql and postgres), allowing to prepare queries once and execute them multipe times with different input variables.
– New FreeTDS driver for connections to Mssql and Sybase that can replace the old dblib protocol.
– TZStoredproc got a full makeover. Now Stored procedures should work for postgres, firebird, mysql, mssql and oracle (alpha status)
– A load of bugs have been fixed.

Downloads of the new beta release can be found on sourceforge or our mirror download directory http://zeosdownloads.firmos.at/downloads/

Kitto – A framework for creating data-driven web applications with Delphi and ExtJS

Leave a comment

Kitto allows to create Rich Internet Applications based on a data model that can be mapped onto any database. The client-side part uses ExtJS (through the ExtPascal library) to create a fully AJAX application, allowing you to build standard and advanced data-manipulating forms in a fraction of the time.

Kitto is aimed at Delphi developers that need to create web application without delving into the intricacies of HTML, CSS, Javascript or learning to use a particular library such as ExtJS, yet it allows access to the bare metal if required.

Kitto includes a database-agnostic data-access layer, allowing to create applications that work on any database engine and port applications between database engines.

A Kitto application is described in a set of easily maintained YAML files, keeping definitions abstract and declarative and allowing for future extensions. Business rules are enforced either declaratively or through small javascript fragments on the client, or in Delphi code on the server.

Kitto was designed by Nando Dessena and its development is sponsored by Ethea, which uses Kitto for internal development projects and client work and provides Kitto-related tools, support and development services.

Start here for further information.

The getting started guide can be tested with Firebird and Delphi

 

FBClone version 2.1.4 is released (bugfix release)

2 comments

FBClone v2.1.4 is released .This is a “bugfix release” (field “XxX” not found when used against case sensitive databases.)

FBClone can clone a Firebird database in one shot (instead of backup/restore cycle) and pump data from one database to another with the same structure, it handles metadata / data charset conversion and may be useful to ease database owner change process or to migrate a database between two different firebird versions (eg. 2.1 -> 1.5)
