Gere SQL com IA usando linguagem natural

Junho 2, 2026
O InterBase 15.1 ajuda os desenvolvedores a usar linguagem natural para criar, otimizar, formatar e entender SQL mais rapidamente.

InterBase by Embarcadero is a high-performance, embeddable SQL database engine designed for developers building cross-platform applications. It supports key features such as multi-version concurrency control (MVCC), strong data encryption, and disaster recovery through point-in-time recovery and journaling. Known for its small footprint and minimal administration requirements, InterBase is commonly used in embedded, mobile, and desktop environments where reliable, low-maintenance data storage is essential. It offers integration with development tools like Delphi and C++Builder, making it a practical choice for applications requiring robust local data processing.

The InterBase 15.1 release adds AI-powered Smart CodeInsight which introduces natural language assistance directly into the development workflow, helping developers generate SQL queries from simple prompts, optimize existing statements for improved performance, automatically format code for readability, and explain complex SQL logic in clear language. By reducing the time spent writing and reviewing queries, it helps both experienced database professionals and newer developers work more efficiently while improving code quality and understanding.

Importe arquivos SVG complexos para PDFs

Maio 29, 2026
O PDF Xpansion SDK 18.0.2 adiciona um recurso completo de importação SVG, permitindo que gráficos vetoriais avançados sejam incorporados diretamente em documentos PDF.

PDF Xpansion SDK by soft Xpansion is a modular software development kit for Windows applications that provides a broad set of APIs and components for creating, editing, viewing, converting, validating, and processing PDF, PDF/A, and XPS documents, alongside support for modern electronic invoicing standards such as XRechnung, ZUGFeRD, Factur-X, and EN 16931. The SDK includes specialized modules for PDF viewing, document combination and splitting, PDF/A compliance, and e-invoicing creation and receipt workflows, enabling developers to integrate document management, archiving, compliance, and business process functionality directly into desktop and enterprise applications. It also supports advanced capabilities such as PDF/UA accessibility, embedded XML data, document conversion, structured invoice validation, and customizable viewing interfaces, allowing developers to build solutions for document-centric workflows, digital archiving, regulatory compliance, document viewing, and automated invoice processing using a common set of PDF and e-invoicing development components.

The PDF Xpansion SDK 18.0.2 update introduces full SVG import capability, allowing developers to embed complete SVG files directly into PDF documents rather than being limited to basic SVG elements. This enhancement improves fidelity when working with vector graphics by preserving complex shapes, gradients, paths, and other advanced SVG features during PDF generation. As a result, applications can produce more accurate and visually consistent PDF output from modern SVG-based assets, reducing the need for graphic simplification, conversion workarounds, or manual adjustments while supporting a broader range of design and reporting scenarios. Note: This feature is not included in the license and requires an additional purchase - details and pricing available upon request.

To see a full list of what's new in 18.0.2, see our release notes.

PDF Xpansion SDK products are licensed on a per-location basis, with a separate license required for each company location where developers use the SDKs. An annual maintenance subscription is also available, providing product updates and 12 man-hours of support for one year. Optional add-ons are available, and certain features not included in the standard license may be licensed separately for an additional fee.
