Delphi Direct ORACLE Access Components / News: Recent posts

DOCI version 1.6 has been released.

DOCI Components provides easy and fast access to Oracle Database from Delphi 7 and higher and from C++ Builder. They do not use BDE.
They use OCI (Oracle Call Interface) library for direct access to Oracle database.

It contains many changes and useful improvements:

• TAOraSQL - added property AutoParseParams. When True, SQL text is parsed for presence of params and they are automatically added to list of params (as ftoUnknown type).
• TADataSet - added property Capacity. Now TADataSet automatically allocates memory for storing Capacity number of record during Open.
• Improved work with Fields and FieldDefs taking into account LifeCycle and FieldOptions properties
• Significant improvements in TDate, TTime, and TDateTime fields and params. Now they are fully compatible with standard Delphi components.
• Method execution time is measured in millisec for Open, Prepare, ExecSQL, LoadFields methods and stored into Elapsed field.
• Property UniDirectional moved to TADataSet because most of uni directional functionality is in TADataSet.
• Added TLogger class for simple logging. Made it compatible with Delphi 7. Logging can be globally turned on or off during compilation by preprocessor symbol ADEBUG.
• Much better compatibility with old Delphi versions starting from Delphi 7.
• Public methods which require TADataSet in opened state now generate standard exception if TADataSet is in closed state.
• Improved work with DataType sizes for fixed size data types (like ftoInteger) and variable size data types (like ftoString, ftoBlob, etc.).
• Added support of Oracle TIMESTAMP data type (mapped to ftoDateTime field)
• Improved work of FUpdateRecord event.
• Added many tests for MemoryDataSet and AMemoryDataSet classes, related to latest changes in TADataSet since TADataSet contains most of memory dataset functionality.
• Removed compiler warnings in many units.

UPD! New delphioci-1.5.zip file is uploaded. Fixed critical bug with work with DBTables.
