Greetings from the NexusDB Team!

Please jump to the end of this message for a great EOFY Sale offer, valid for all purchases.
 

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.......

For me productivity is important.

Report bugs to Embarcadero and post the description and link to each report here so others can vote on them.

Warning: With RAD Studio 11 there is currently an issue with TLabelledEdit if you have the label to the left of the edit box. The positioning of the label sometimes is wrong at design time and it doesn't re position correctly if you update the label contents at run time. If you use TLabelledEdit with labels to the left of the edit box then check this out before moving projects to 11.0. Embarcadero know of this issue. It is not fixed in the "Novemeber" patch.

If you are posting this in the hope someone will eventually fix it... *post the link* to the issue so others can vote!

You can try to find out here:

https://quality.embarcadero.com/browse/RSP-10633?jql=text%20~%20%22tgroupbox%22

Make sure to log your issue if you don't find a matching one.

This particular group is not for announcements, please read the forum rules... you did it right before. 🙂

Or is it already known?

Search the Quality Portal, log if not? Post link for voting?

If I'm not mistaken, the search word to use is "intents" (at least on Android, shows you how much I know...). Google something like "delphi android intents"

ADUG is ending its archaic mailing list and moving into this century with a new web based forum, available here:

Anyone can join and discuss our favourite tools. 🙂

Last time I tried that (last year), I couldn't get it to work.  So I had to write my own stack tracing code from scratch, which "works" but it doesn't display function names yet, only memory addresses relative to the process' base address.  And that project has since been EOL'ed, so I can't go back and update it.

Not sure what is going on for you, it works well enough that we use it in NexusDB for the binaries we provide.

First, do some debugging and find out if the record "disappears" on the server side (query, or in the JSON transformation), or on the client side (store raw JSON, review contents...).

hundreds of threads running which pull data from a multitude of oil rigs.

Since this appears to be a low budget project, you could start using the free exception stack trace routines in the JCL library.

What Microsoft instructions are you following for the font install?

OP, you may find something here:

https://github.com/CloudDelphi/RTC-Portal-VCL

I have not looked at the source of the above, but when the product was known as Nexus Portal, logging in via remote control worked. If it hasn't been dumbed down for the git release, it's probably in there somewhere.

It sounds like your sys admins are working hard to keep developers from doing their work. 😞

Delphi doesn't ask that, and seems to default to "this user" -- which if you're forced to install as Admin, means a lot of stuff is not accessible if you're NOT running as Admin. We are forbidden from running any sort of normal stuff as Admin! 
 

Isn't the idea that you get your organization's "trusted" admins to run the installers for you, and you (under a non-admin) user account can run and use the applications? Does that not work with Delphi?

I noticed that the TRESTResponseDataSetAdapter has a new property 'TypesMode' which defaults to 'StringOnly'. What is this property?

    /// <summary>
    /// Specifies the field type definition mode. When it is:
    /// * TJSONTypesMode.Rich, then adapter will try to derive field type from the JSON content.
    /// * TJSONTypesMode.JSONOnly, then adapter will use only JSON value types.
    /// * TJSONTypesMode.StringOnly, then all fields will be represented by ftWideString.
    /// Default value is TJSONTypesMode.Rich.
    /// </summary>

The announcement in the OP should be in the Delphi Third Party instead of this group.
