ElevateDB 2.30 Released with RAD Studio 10.3 Rio Support
Posted by Tim Young on Sat, Jan 5 2019

ElevateDB 2.30 is now available for download. If you're an existing customer, then you should be receiving an email shortly with download instructions.

The breaking changes and new features for the ElevateDB VCL/LCL, DAC, and PHP products are below. In addition, this release contains several bug fixes, which are detailed here.

2.30 Breaking Changes
The following are breaking changes in 2.30:
  • The ElevateDB Server no longer shows a user interface when installed and run as a Windows service. In conjunction with this change, the No User Interface edbsrvr.ini setting is no longer used.
2.30 New Features
ElevateDB 2.30 now includes support for Embarcadero RAD Studio 10.3 Rio (Delphi 10.3 32/64-bit, and C++Builder 10.3 32/64-bit).

The following are the new features in 2.30:
  • The migrator performance has been improved quite a bit by switching from an architecture based upon explicit INSERT statements to one based upon parameterized INSERT statements combined with binary parameter handling. Previously, large tables that contained large BLOB columns would take an inordinate amount of time to completely migrate, and that amount of time has been drastically reduced.

Elevate Web Builder 2.06 Build 20 Released
Posted by Tim Young on Thu, Dec 27 2018

Elevate Web Builder 2.06 Build 20 is now available for download. If you're an existing customer, then you should be receiving an email shortly with download instructions.

The breaking changes and new features are below:

2.06 Build 20 Breaking Changes
The following are breaking changes in 2.06 Build 20:
  • Date and time columns are no longer localized at all, and are always treated as UTC values. This is due to the fact that Chrome and other browsers are starting to implement historical daylight savings time offsets, thus making it impossible to localize standalone date or time values that don't contain the relevant portion of the date/time that affects how the values are localized. Combined Date/time (timestamp) columns can still be localized according to the TDataSet LocalizeDateTimeColumns property along with the Localize date/time columns option in the dataset definition in the Database Manager.


  • The Elevate Web Builder Web Server no longer shows a user interface when installed and run as a Windows service. In conjunction with this change, the No User Interface ewbsrvr.ini setting is no longer used.
2.06 Build 20 Improvements
The following are new features and enhancements in 2.06 Build 20:
  • The TServerRequest component now includes a new CrossOriginCredentials property for specifying whether HTTP cookies and/or authentication headers are sent to non-source origins.

DBISAM 4.46 Released
Posted by Tim Young on Thu, Nov 29 2018

DBISAM 4.46 is now available for download. If you're an existing customer, then you should be receiving an email shortly with download instructions.

The breaking changes and new features for both the DBISAM VCL and ODBC products are below.

4.46 New Features
The following are the new features in 4.46:
  • The join execution performance has been improved, and you should see an overall decrease in execution times for SQL statements that include joins.


  • The DBISAM Database Servers that are shipped with DBISAM now include the ability to use SQL performance tracking/logging to detect SQL statements that are exhibiting bad performance. This capability is a server-level feature, and is not implemented in the TDBISAMEngine component (it uses the SQL execution trigger in the engine). You can find out more information on the various dbsrvr.ini file options for the SQL performance tracking/logging here:

    Configuring and Starting the Server

    under the section that shows a sample dbsrvr.ini file (Sample DBISAM Database Server Parameters INI File).

Embarcadero RAD Studio 10.3 Support Coming Soon
Posted by Tim Young on Mon, Nov 26 2018

We are working on Embarcadero RAD Studio 10.3 support for DBISAM, ElevateDB, and Elevate Web Builder (web server modules), and should have the support ready by the end of next week (first week of December). Some further important points about RAD Studio 10.3:
  • ElevateDB 2.29 was just released today, but does not include RAD Studio 10.3 support. ElevateDB 2.29 was already in the pipeline when 10.3 was released, so we didn't want to hold up 2.29 any longer since it was already a few weeks later than we wanted, and we wanted to get the new ElevateDB MacOS support released.


  • For both ElevateDB and DBISAM, the RAD Studio 10.3 support will also coincide with the removal of the user interfaces for the database servers. This has been a long time coming and will be a prerequisite for releasing Linux daemon versions of both the ElevateDB Server and DBISAM Database Server. The built-in user interfaces will be replaced with GUI utilities that allow you to remotely monitor and configure the servers. This support is already present for the DBISAM Database Server, and will be added for the ElevateDB Server.


  • Elevate Web Builder 3 is getting close and will also have its web server UI removed. We are not sure if the initial Elevate Web Builder 3 will have Linux web server support, and it all depends upon how fast we can get OpenSSL integrated into the web server (the Windows version uses the native Windows TLS/crypto API).


  • For all other platforms, including mobile and 64-bit MacOS, we will be releasing support for these platforms as Embarcadero transitions those compilers from using ARC to using manual memory management. For more information on this, please see this blog post by Delphi product manager Marco Cantu:

    Directions for ARC Memory Management in Delphi
If you have any questions regarding the product platform support, please feel free to ask in the comments section.
