What's new in InterBase 2020 Update 1

InterBase is a powerful, zero-administration, small-footprint database engine that can power your server and even run on your mobile devices as an embedded database. The InterBase 2020 release adds a number of new features, including tablespaces support for InterBase, allowing for better performance on servers with multiple data storage options. On top of this, InterBase 2020 Update 1 adds Linux support for Server and Developer Editions, Tablespace support for the OnlineDump technology, and updates to IBConsole


Database Tablespaces

Tablespaces support is the top new feature added in the InterBase 2020 release.

Tablespaces allow for better performance and more balanced and optimized use of the hardware. Tablespaces allow a database object definition to specify a storage location in a particular logical file collection. This is especially beneficial for disk technologies, allowing you to better mix the use of fast SSDs and large HDDs. This is a key difference, since prior to InterBase 2020, all of the files for a database had to be mapped to the same storage. A database administrator can leverage tablespace characteristics to optimize runtime database performance.

InterBase 2020 Update 1 adds Tablespace support for the OnlineDump technology

New OS Platforms Support

InterBase 2020 expands the OS platform support. Embedded InterBase (IBLite and IBToGo) is now available for Android 64-bit and macOS 64-bit. This allows RAD Studio developers to build InterBase enabled 64-bit Delphi applications and target both the Google Play Store and macOS App Store. The full list of supported InterBase 2020 IBLite and IBToGo platforms include Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and iOS. Supported platforms for InterBase 2020 Server Edition include Windows and Linux.

New OS platforms support

Enhanced Performance Monitoring

Performance Monitoring of index usage in InterBase 2020 gives you current statistics on what indexes are in use in the database, and how active they are for various queries (optimization, order by clause etc.). This expands on what we already provide in terms of monitoring statistics for various other entities like tables, stored procedures, triggers, attachments, transactions etc.

Data Dictionary DDL

Database tools can greatly benefit from a standard DDL syntax they can use to apply various descriptions to document the user's database schema.

New ALTER DESCRIPTION syntax allows you to describe any database entity (for e.g. table, index, stored procedure, generator etc.) in a standard (and independent) way without needing to embed the description as part of the entity definition.

Data Dictionary DDL

SQL Optimizations

Transform inequality operators and not operators to their opposite representation for index based retrieval. Inequality operators, such as , >, >= can be transformed and optimized. For e.g. Conditions of the form NOT A>0 can now get transformed to A <= 0
