Greetings all! This month 20 years ago, NexusDB v1 was released, and now we invite you to celebrate with us. The best Delphi database just keeps on going, who knows where the next 20 will take us? 😄 Some of our loyal customers who came aboard that very first year have kindly given us some words of encouragement, here are a few random ones. "It was 2003 when I was looking for an fast and reliable SQL database for the orthodontic image management software OnyxCeph. This was and is realised with the Borland (Embarcadero) C++ Builder. The new database system should be free of runtime fees and it has to support file blobs. With NexusDB, the right tool was found and I have been very satisfied with it since then. Also to be praised is the support, which works great across the time zones. Many thanks for the constructive cooperation, I wish the NexusDB team all the best for the next 20 years! Cheers! Best regards, Holger" "I've been using NexusDB for 20 years and my products have benefited greatly from its performance, reliability and ease of use. The versatility it provides with networked, local or in-memory tables makes it a great Delphi component library that I would highly recommend. Regards, Phillip" We humbly thank all of you who are already using our products, without you we would not be here today. And now... drumroll... what you have been really waiting for 🙂 Until the end of this month, take 50% off any new product licenses!

When designing in the FMX visual designer with any component or the form active, pressing Shift+F10 activates the main menu, instead of opening a context menu for the active component. This is highly inconvenient when working on a keyboard without a dedicated context menu key (example, every Lenovo Legion laptop currently for sale). Please vote for this issue if this affects you or you’d just like the keyboard support to work 😉 https://quality.embarcadero.com/browse/RSP-40109

That's weird, the original link points back to the topic instead of the emb site?! Hope this one actually goes where it's supposed to: Embarcardero Issue Here

TL;DR: race condition means any use of the PPL may lead to a crash https://quality.embarcadero.com/browse/RSP-40169

Our customers can reproduce, although intermittently. 😉 The issue has been updated with proposed PPL source changes for review.

Greetings Delphi Friends! From now until the end of Monday November 30th, take 50% off the full price of any new license of NexusDB Database Engine or Nexus Quality Suite. To purchase, go to our webshop: https://www.nexusdb.com/support/index.php?q=pricing Please enter the coupon code BLACKFRIDAY during checkout to apply the rebate. Note: only valid for new licenses. Happy shopping! Regards, The NexusDB Team

I have just recently had opportunity to start developing a multi platform app. Android is literally plug and play to start testing on a device, however the Apple requirements for iOS development have turned out to be a stumbling block. Specifically, when I try to import the provisioning profile I have created into XCode (dropping the file onto the taskbar icon), I get a generic “failed to import…” message, suggesting I make sure the device is the correct one (yeah, I only have one registered device… and of course I added it to the profile) or regenerate. Yeah, tried that too. In fact, tried doing everything again from creating developer certificate onwards. I’ve pored over blogs, youtube videos, and (shock) even official documentation, but haven’t found the magic incantation. Device and Mac updated, running latest XCode… Can anybody recommend a source that goes through the setup of iOS requirements in excruciating detail, making sure it’s impossible to fail, and come out with an app being debugged on the other side? Any recommendations on how to get anything other than a generic error out of XCode?

@Rollo62 Thanks so much for the advice to get XCode going by itself first, that did indeed do the trick! Now, to get some actual work done... 😉

@RDP1974 Please see private message for exchange of details

Thanks, that is genuinely useful feedback. In this case, it's the history page that hasn't been updated; the product still gets regular updates since it is the backbone of our NexusDB Database products. I've removed that page pending a proper page update. For anyone looking, the change log in our tracker always has up to date information. https://www.nexusdb.com/mantis/changelog_page.php

Nexus MM is alive and well, as it is part of NexusDB database library, which gets regular updates. Not sure where the abandoned impression comes from. Eivind

FLAC or nothing. 😉

The FMXLinux source does not appear to contain any of that message. Could there be something else linked into your DLLs?

News from the Dungeons: Development of new features in our best in class Delphi based NexusDB database engine is progressing well. Here are some new and recently added features that you may not be aware of, but which will come in handy for your projects: - Delphi 11.x Alexandria support - support for new Delphi versions is always up to date - NEW! Keyless Index engine - indices created with this engine takes up less space in a table and improves performance (see below) - NEW! Improved User privileges; users can now be assigned rights by individual database aliases and tables - NEW! User privileges can now be set and queried via new CREATE OR ALTER USER... SQL statements - NEW! 64 bit Global auto increment feature - when 4 billion discrete values is not enough to fit your requirements - NEW! Winsorized Mean aggregate SQL function, complements the standard AVG function - UPDATED! nxBackup utility greatly improved - now works as a virtual continuous backup solution for critical data - GUI editing of User privileges in Enterprise Manager in development for the next update - Single File database is being worked on, and making good progress toward alpha/beta releases later this year The new Keyless Index Engine is highly innovative, hugely reducing the size of tables and the accompanying server load. Here's an extract of a testrun of the new Keyless index engine, combined with the recently introduced Lz4 compression engine. 50% reduction in runtime and 94% reduction in table size is nothing to sneeze at! This is a targeted test; however, on a real life customer database, where Lz4 was already applied, switching to keyless indices reduced the size from 60GB to 42GB. You will want this to keep your customers happy! 😊 Running test with 5000000 records. Keyless: FALSE CompressedRecords: FALSE Elapsed: 2865555 Table size: 15724 MB Running test with 5000000 records. Keyless: TRUE CompressedRecords: TRUE Elapsed: 1423557 Table size: 599 MB And finally... Drumroll....... The EOFY offer!
