[Firebird-docs] Firebird 3 Quick Start Guide

2016-04-10 Thread Paul Vinkenoog
Hi all,

The Firebird 3 Quick Start Guide is available at:

  
http://www.firebirdsql.org/file/documentation/reference_manuals/user_manuals/Firebird-3-QuickStart.pdf
  
http://www.firebirdsql.org/file/documentation/reference_manuals/user_manuals/html/qsg3.html

It's not yet visible at the index page, because FB3 hasn't been released yet.

There are probably still some rough edges to the guide, but I couldn't wait any 
longer: the first packages may be built today.

If you find any errors, please let us know.

Cheers,
Paul Vinkenoog

Hope it goes well for you Aage!
I'm not ignoring your suggestions, just a bit swamped at the moment
with customer work and Fb 3 release.

Thanks again!

Kia ora,
Helen

[Firebird-docs] LangRef 2.5beta1 - a few more suggestions /5

2016-04-10 Thread Aage Johansen

I'll have mostly non-Firebird things on my mind the next week, so I'm 
just unloading my latest comments now!

==
p.117
Add a sentence to make it clear when the trigger is fired:
For mutation events, does the trigger fire at commit or at individual 
insert/update/delete.
For two-phase-commit, it is described at p.122 (good!).

p.119:
"Declarations and embedded statements are terminated with semi-colons (;)."

For statements with a begin...end block, no semi-colon is used.


Simple "if":
   BEGIN
 IF (NEW.cust_no IS NULL) THEN
   NEW.cust_no = GEN_ID(cust_no_gen, 1);
   END

But, with a block of statements:
   BEGIN
 IF (NEW.cust_no IS NULL) THEN
 BEGIN
   NEW.cust_no = GEN_ID(cust_no_gen, 1);
 END
   END

p.248 reveals that
"The BEGIN and END statements have no line terminators."
This explains it, but:
a)
This is a trap for new users - please make a note around p.119 (about 
semi-colons).
b)
"line terminators"?  "statement terminator" seems better.

And "embedded statements" - are these just ordinary statements in the trigger?



p.124
ALTER TRIGGER set_cust_no INACTIVE;

Does this have immediate effect, even without a commit?
If a user inactivates a trigger, does something and then activates 
the trigger - what is
the effect for users (in the inactive periode)?  And, is it really 
inactive (without a commit)?
I believe there has been some confused/confusing discussions on the 
support list in the past on whether
a user can have a trigger de-activated just for himself.  (He cannot, IIRC)
