Examples

you can use it for executing ibeblock scripts that connect to
different databases at the same time, integrate any odbc
connection as source or destination, simple data import
and export, metadata comparison and much more.

For using the distribution license, no keys are needed.
You do not even need ibexpert full version, but the
integrated debugger will help you to develop working
scripts. The distribution license contains only the
file ibescript.exe and the unlimited right
to distribute it together with your software.

What is an IBEBLOCK?

It is a set of DDL, DML and other statements that are executed
on the server and on the client side, and which include some
specific constructions applicable only in IBExpert or
IBEScript (excluding the free versions of these products),
independent of the database server version.

With EXECUTE IBEBLOCK you will be able to:

* Work with different connections within the single IBEBLOCK at
the same time.
* Move (copy) data from one database to another.
* Join tables from different databases.
* Compare data from different databases and synchronize them.
* Populate a table with test data using random values or values
from other tables or even from other databases or ODBC
Connections.
* ... and much more.

The syntax of IBEBLOCK is similar to that of stored procedures
but there are many important extensions. For example:

* You can use EXECUTE STATEMENT with any server, including
InterBase 5.x, 6.x, 7.x. 2007
* You can use one-dimensional arrays (lists) of untyped variables
and access them by index.
* It isn't necessary to declare variables before using them.
* You can use data sets (temporary memory tables) to store data.
* ... and much more.


Simple ibeblock example to copy data between two databases incl blobs

execute ibeblock
as
begin
create connection src dbname 'localhost:c:\src.fdb'
password 'repl' user 'REPL' clientlib 'fbclient.dll';

create connection dest dbname 'localhost:c:\dest.fdb'
password 'repl' user 'REPL' clientlib 'fbclient.dll';

use src;
for select id, usr, ts, sql, idx, dat
from ibe$log
into :id, :usr, :ts, :sql, :idx, :dat
do
begin
use dest;
insert into ibe$log(id, usr, ts, sql, idx, dat)
values (:id, :usr, :ts, :sql, :idx, :dat);
end

use dest;
commit;
close connection src;
close connection dest;
end


Simple example to copy data from ib/fb to MS Access using odbc

execute ibeblock
as
begin
FBCon =
ibec_CreateConnection(__ctFirebird,'DBName=LOCALHOST:C:\DB1.FDB;
ClientLib=fbclient.dll; user=SYSDBA; password=masterkey;
names=ISO8859_1; sqldialect=3');

OdbcCon = ibec_CreateConnection(__ctODBC, 'DBQ=C:\msadb.mdb;
DRIVER=Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)');

USE FBCon;
FOR
SELECT F1, F2, F3
FROM TBL
INTO :F1,:F2,:F3
do
BEGIN
USE OdbcCon;
INSERT INTO TBL(F1,F2,F3)
VALUES(F1,F2,F3);

END
ibec_CloseConnection(OdbcCon);
ibec_CloseConnection(FBCon);
end



You can execute single IBEBLOCKs via the SQL Editor. You can
debug them in the SQL Editor too. They are debugged in the same
way as stored procedures and triggers. Also you can include
IBEBLOCKs into your scripts and execute these scripts as
usual - using the Script Executive or IBEScript.exe.
