Aliacta International Corporation has released pgSQL4RB v1.01, a
small feature and maintenance update to the acclaimed PostgreSQL
database classes for REALbasic.
- This release brings a work-around for the TCPSocket bug present in
REALbasic versions 5.5 to 5.5.2b1. (This work-around will
auto-disable itself from REALbasic 5.6 on to avoid that it would
become a pgSQL4RB bug in a future release of REALbasic where the
TCPSocket could perhaps be modified.) This bug in REALbasic 5.5
caused a stack overflow on disconnection by PostgreSQL. It should be
fixed for the next release of REALbasic but people preferring to stay
with REALbasic 5.5 or 5.5.1 will now have pgSQL4RB 1.01 to work
without trouble. This was our main reason for releasing an update.
- Bug fix: with PostgreSQL v7.2 and below pgSQL4RB could wrongly name
the encoding of the database. (It would correctly detect the
encoding, but stick a wrong name on it in some cases.) In other
words, even though this bug never affected pgSQL4RB's ability to
automatically deal with text encodings, the pgSQLdatabaseEncoding
property now always holds the proper encoding name.
- Enhanced esthetics of ListBox behavior when
pgSQLcache.pgSQLautoheaders is True, most visible in more intelligent
decision taking on when to automatically resize the columns and
refresh the headers.
- When pgSQLcache.pgSQLautoheaders is True all controls capable of
holding lists with headers like the ListBox or the pgSQLbevelButton
will now refresh their headers or caption with proper column names
even when no records were found.
About pgSQL4RB
pgSQL4RB is a RAD tool to build full-featured cross-platform
PostgreSQL client applications and provides an unparalleled ease of
use without any compromise on performance or on control over
PostgreSQL, the best open source database around.
pgSQL4RB works with both REALbasic Standard and Pro and is extremely
fast, stable, intuitive, and well documented.
You can build a small but fully functional database front-end in less
than 40 seconds(!), or you can rapidly develop very large,
full-featured and specialized PostgreSQL projects and compile them
for Mac OS Classic, X, Windows, and Linux from the same source code.
The combination of PostgreSQL with pgSQL4RB makes the speediest
creation of the most powerful database solutions possible, with
support for UNICODE, MD5 authentication, and virtually all other
PostgreSQL features. It is the best investment you can make and
provides the quickest return on investment available for database
projects.
