Few words about what we are cooking for AnyDAC
|
Version 1 We will release more patch releases for 1.12 in May and June. But 1.12 will be last stable v 1.0 release. There will be no more development for v 1.0. Version 2Right now we are developing feature set for v 2.0. The time frame for v 2.0 is end of the 2007 Summer. Major new features: - Interbase / Firebird driver. Although, that will be rather beta version of driver.
- Postgre SQL driver. But I will not promise for 100%. Will depend on our workload.
- Help file. It will cover, for first step, components and their public properties and methods.
- SQL script processor. With feature set similar to SQL*Plus. Who does not know what is the SQL*Plus, it is a feature reach Oracle console script processor application.
- Persistent datasets. The full streaming support for DatS layer. IOW, LoadFromStream / SaveToStream for TADClientDataSet, TADQuery and more.
- Disconnected datasets. IOW, you can ask a TADQuery to disconnect from DB, edit it data, save to stream, load from stream, connect to a DB and post changes to a DB.
- Connection sharing between application modules (EXE, DLL, OCX).
Minor new features and improovements: - ADClientDataSet component editor.
- Advanced storage engine for AnyDAC datasets, allowing to handle without performance degradation Y * 100,000 or even Y * 1,000,000 of records.
- Property SQLFilter for TADQuery.
- TADDataMove array DML support.
- Better support for application transparent failover, including native support for Oracle, MSSQL.
- Support for Oracle TIMESTAMP data type.
- etc
Also, we are considering to split AnyDAC into packs: - standard pack - freeware;
- professional pack - payable.
All who bought the high priority technical support not earlier than 1 year before v 2.0 release date, will become the professional pack license owners. The professional pack price will above $200. |

1/13. Postgres / Firebird Posted by merdjp - Apr 28, 2007 Website |  | Thanks for your support for the above title.
It should be well noted that as per survey, firebird and postgres is in-demand for your component and better to support them.
How much it cost for professional Edition? |
2/13. Standard via Professional Posted by Andrey Matveev - Apr 29, 2007 Website |  | Morning, Dmitriy
Could you please clarify main differences between "Standard" and "Professional" versions. Thank you in advance.
Best of luck, |
3/13. Std vs Prof Posted by Diman - May 03, 2007 Website |  | We does not have for a while exact definitions for "standard" and "professional" versions. But I will say, that "standard" will be freeware and "professional" will include many additional features, like a scripting, help and will be payable. Also, all who bought high priority technical support, automatically will become "professional" version owner.

5/13. Single handle to DB Posted by zsleo - May 08, 2007 Website |  | Will version 2 provide the ability to share a single connection/session handle between, for example, an EXE and many DLL's within one application so that session persistence is maintained.
EG. Session db variables, temp tables, etc |
6/13. RE: Single handle to DB Posted by Diman - May 10, 2007 Website |  | I will consider to implement that.
Regards,
Dmitry |
7/13. Mr. Posted by John Herbster - May 25, 2007 Website |  | After having this entry window loosing my comments and making me start over twice, I am not going to enter them a third time. --JohnH |
8/13. Keep up the Great job! Documentation.. Posted by irobayna - May 25, 2007 Website |  | Dmitry, #1 The biggest hurdle I see with using AnyDAC today is the lack of documentation. A a help file is a must. #2 DeltaHandlers #3 LoadFromDataset #4 Allow to retrive values from rows[].getdata instead of via variants via Tfields like: rows[i].GetData('name') would be: AFld: TStringField; Afld := rows[i] ; Showmessage( Afld.asString)

9/13. Open Source? Posted by delphichem - May 26, 2007 Website |  | Dear Dmitry
Will the standard pack stay Open source ?
Regards |
10/13. Firebird and Postgres Posted by Lou - Jun 03, 2007 Website |  | Looking forward to seeing you support Firebird as well as Postgres. |
11/13. What about adding a TUpdateSQL like component Posted by fduenas - Jul 10, 2007 Website |  | Hi I think also adding a TUpdateSQL like component for AnyDac would be great. |
12/13. Multiple Transactions Posted by me - Aug 23, 2007 Website |  | Currently, AnyDAC does not support multiple parallel transactions. Is this possible in Version 2? And how can use that, in connection with pooling |
13/13. Does AnyDAC Include with source code ? Posted by Steven Liew - Apr 28, 2008 Website |  | Does AnyDAC Include with source code ? |
