Synopse Open Source

We have just added TSQLTable.Step(), FieldBuffer() and Field() methods, handling a cursor at TSQLTable level, with optional late-binding column access.

It allows to retrieve results from a TSQLTable / TSQLTableJSON result sets within a "cursor-like" orientation.
That is, no need to specify the row number, but write a simple while aList.Step do ... loop.

Of course, you should better use TSQLRecord.FillPrepare most of the time, and access the data from a TSQLRecord instance.
But it can be very useful, e.g. when working on a custom JOINed SQL statement.

We have uploaded an updatetd compiled version of our Open Source SynProject tool in SynProject.zip. Synopse SynProject is an open source application for code source versioning and automated documentation of software projects. Licensed under a GPL license. Main feature is a new (better-looking?)  […]

We have included x64 optimized asm of FillChar() and Move() for Win64 - for corresponding compiler targets, i.e. Delphi XE2 and XE3. It will handle properly cache prefetch and appropriate SSE2 move instructions.  The System.pas unit of Delphi RTL will be patched at startup, unless the NOX64PATCHRTL  […]

With upcoming revision 1.18 of the framework, our SynSQlite3.pas unit is able to access the SQLite3 engine in two ways:

• Either statically linked within the project executable;
• Or from an external sqlite3.dll library file.

The SQLite3 APIs and constants are defined in SynSQlite3.pas, and accessible via a TSQLite3Library class definition. It defines a global sqlite3 variable as such:

var
  sqlite3: TSQLite3Library;

To use the SQLite3 engine, an instance of TSQLite3Library class shall be assigned to this global variable. Then all mORMot's calls will be made through it, calling e.g. sqlite3.open() instead of sqlite3_open().

There are two implementation classes:

Referring to SynSQLite3Static.pas in the uses clause of your project is enough to link the .obj engine into your executable.

Warning - breaking change: before version 1.18 of the framework, link of static .obj was forced - so you must add a reference to SynSQLite3Static in your project uses clause to work as expected.

In order to use an external sqlite3.dll library, you have to set the global sqlite3 variable as such:

 FreeAndNil(sqlite3); // release any previous instance (e.g. static)
 sqlite3 := TSQLite3LibraryDynamic.Create;

Of course, FreeAndNil(sqlite3) is not mandatory, and should be necessary only to avoid any memory leak if another SQLite3 engine instance was allocated (may be the case if SynSQLite3Static is referred somewhere in your project's units).

Here are some benchmarks, compiled with Delphi XE3, run in a 32 bit project, using either the static bcc-compiled engine, or an external sqlite3.dll, compiled via MinGW or Microsoft Visual C++.
