Dear Firebird User,

A lot of customers asked us regarding a cheaper possibility to
use our ibeblock technology for their own software.

The IBExpert VAR License gives a distribution license for all
modules including the IBExpert IDE. Some smaller software companies
just asked for a way to integrate our technology for a cheaper price.

Because we always respect our customers wishes, we created 2 new
products:

1. IBEScript EXE Distribution License
2. IBEScript DLL Distribution License

The IBEScript Distribution License gives you the unlimited right
to integrate IBEScript.exe or IBEScript.dll in your application.
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.

More examples can be found here
http://www.ibexpert.info/documentation/20297.html

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 or
ibescript.dll and the unlimited right to distribute it together
with your software.

-----------------------------------------------------------------


1. What is IBEScript EXE?

IBEScript.exe can be used to execute any valid IBExpert script in
batchfiles. For example a scheduled import or export job can be
started without the need of any user input.

IBEScript.exe can also be used to encrypt script files, so that
they are unreadable for the user, but executable together with
IBEScript.exe


2. What is IBEScript DLL?

When you want to integrate IBExperts scripts in your own application,
you can use IBEScript.dll. A simple example for Delphi can be found
in IBExperts IBEScriptDll subdirectory. It can also be used from all
other programming languages that can handle DLL calls.


3. What is 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.
* 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.


4. 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



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.
