1. Support package fbudr added for support of User Defined Routines (UDRs), and package |
4 |
|
|
fbudrtestbed for client side debugging of UDR libraries. |
5 |
|
|
|
6 |
|
|
2. Package layout changed with introduction of udr support. IB*.pas files moved from |
7 |
|
|
root directory to "client". IBHeader move to "Client". |
8 |
|
|
|
9 |
|
|
3. Delphi packages: all packages now compile .dcp and .bpi files to either |
10 |
|
|
fbintf\Win32\Debug or fbintf\Win64\Debug by default. Please remove any pre-existing |
11 |
|
|
fbintf.dcp and fbintf.bpi files from other locations. |
12 |
|
|
|
13 |
|
|
4. Client side journaling support added. Interface changes |
14 |
tony |
363 |
IAttachment |
15 |
|
|
function JournalingActive: boolean; |
16 |
|
|
function GetJournalOptions: TJournalOptions; |
17 |
|
|
function StartJournaling(aJournalLogFile: AnsiString): integer; overload; |
18 |
|
|
function StartJournaling(aJournalLogFile: AnsiString; Options: TJournalOptions): integer; overload; |
19 |
tony |
371 |
function StartJournaling(S: TStream; Options: TJournalOptions): integer; overload; |
20 |
tony |
363 |
procedure StopJournaling(RetainJournal: boolean); |
21 |
|
|
|
22 |
tony |
381 |
5. Transactions may now be given a local transaction name: |
23 |
tony |
363 |
IFirebirdAPI |
24 |
|
|
function StartTransaction(Attachments: array of IAttachment; |
25 |
|
|
TPB: array of byte; DefaultCompletion: TTransactionCompletion=taCommit): ITransaction; overload; |
26 |
|
|
TPB: array of byte; DefaultCompletion: TTransactionCompletion=taCommit; |
27 |
|
|
aName: AnsiString=''): ITransaction; overload; |
28 |
|
|
function StartTransaction(Attachments: array of IAttachment; |
29 |
|
|
TPB: ITPB; DefaultCompletion: TTransactionCompletion=taCommit): ITransaction; overload; |
30 |
|
|
TPB: ITPB; DefaultCompletion: TTransactionCompletion=taCommit; |
31 |
|
|
aName: AnsiString=''): ITransaction; overload; |
32 |
|
|
|
33 |
|
|
IAttachment |
34 |
|
|
function StartTransaction(TPB: array of byte; DefaultCompletion: TTransactionCompletion=taCommit): ITransaction; overload; |
35 |
|
|
function StartTransaction(TPB: ITPB; DefaultCompletion: TTransactionCompletion=taCommit): ITransaction; overload; |
36 |
|
|
function StartTransaction(TPB: array of byte; |
37 |
|
|
DefaultCompletion: TTransactionCompletion=taCommit; |
38 |
|
|
aName: AnsiString=''): ITransaction; overload; |
39 |
|
|
function StartTransaction(TPB: ITPB; |
40 |
|
|
DefaultCompletion: TTransactionCompletion=taCommit; |
41 |
|
|
aName: AnsiString=''): ITransaction; overload; |
42 |
|
|
|
43 |
|
|
ITransaction |
44 |
|
|
function GetTransactionName: AnsiString; |
45 |
|
|
procedure SetTransactionName(aValue: AnsiString); |
46 |
|
|
|
47 |
tony |
381 |
6. Additional Transaction information |
48 |
tony |
363 |
ITPB.function AsText: AnsiString; {Returns TPB as a text string} |
49 |
|
|
|
50 |
|
|
ITransaction |
51 |
|
|
function GetDefaultCompletion: TTransactionCompletion; |
52 |
|
|
function GetJournalingActive(attachment: IAttachment): boolean; {attachment must be specified when multi-database transaction} |
53 |
|
|
|
54 |
tony |
381 |
7. New IAttachment helper functions |
55 |
tony |
363 |
function HasTable(aTableName: AnsiString): boolean; |
56 |
tony |
371 |
function HasFunction(aFunctionName: AnsiString): boolean; |
57 |
|
|
function HasProcedure(aProcName: AnsiString): boolean; |
58 |
tony |
363 |
function GetAttachmentID: integer; |
59 |
tony |
371 |
function GetCharSetID: integer; |
60 |
tony |
363 |
|
61 |
tony |
381 |
8. IStatement: if the BatchRowLimit is set to maxint, the maximum possible buffer size |
62 |
tony |
371 |
will be allocted for batch operations. |
63 |
|
|
|
64 |
tony |
381 |
9. IStatement, IColumnMetaData and ISQLParam all now consistently provide: |
65 |
tony |
371 |
function GetStatement: IStatement; |
66 |
|
|
function GetTransaction: ITransaction; |
67 |
|
|
function GetAttachment: IAttachment; |
68 |
|
|
|
69 |
tony |
381 |
10. Internal: a more disciplined approach to the handling of Firebird.IReferenceCounted |
70 |
|
|
interfaces. |
71 |
tony |
371 |
|
72 |
tony |
381 |
11. New interface type: IFBNumeric. IFBNumeric is implemented in the unit FBNumeric |
73 |
|
|
and concentrates all handling of Fixed Point numbers. New ISQLItem and ISQLParam |
74 |
|
|
functions getAsNumeric and setAsNumeric allow for direct retrival and manipulation |
75 |
|
|
of numerics without loss of precision. |
76 |
tony |
371 |
|
77 |
tony |
381 |
12. TryStrToNumeric and NumericToDouble moved from IBUtils to FBNumeric. |
78 |
tony |
371 |
|
79 |
tony |
381 |
13. ISQLParams new method "Clear" |
80 |
tony |
371 |
|
81 |
tony |
381 |
14. Connection Info (e.g. ODS Version, Remote Protocol) now retrieved on first |
82 |
tony |
375 |
request rather than on attachment connect. |
83 |
tony |
371 |
|
84 |
tony |
385 |
15. IStatus.IBDataBaseErrorMessages now defaults to [ShowIBMessage]. This reflects the |
85 |
|
|
fact that SQLCodes are soon to be deprecated. In the future, the other options |
86 |
|
|
will be silently ignored if SQLCode support is not present in the Firebird |
87 |
|
|
Client library. |
88 |
tony |
375 |
|
89 |
tony |
387 |
16. ITransaction changes Rollback and Commit from procedures to functions: |
90 |
|
|
function Commit(Force: boolean=false): TTrCompletionState; |
91 |
|
|
function Rollback(Force: boolean=false): TTrCompletionState; |
92 |
tony |
385 |
|
93 |
tony |
387 |
Specifically, this is to allow the functions to report back a failed commit or |
94 |
|
|
rollback when Force = true. In the case, the transaction handle has been |
95 |
|
|
released, while the transaction remains in limbo. |
96 |
|
|
|
97 |
tony |
390 |
17. IAttachment ExecImmediate. |
98 |
tony |
387 |
When the transaction parameters are provided as an array of const and the |
99 |
|
|
statement fails, the transaction is rolledback (forced) before the exception |
100 |
|
|
is raised. |
101 |
|
|
|
102 |
tony |
390 |
18. In Firebird 3 and later API: the status vector is now a thread var, as was |
103 |
|
|
already the case with the legacy API. Avoids problems when calling underlying |
104 |
|
|
Firebird API in multiple threads. |
105 |
tony |

FBINTF Change Log version (1.3-3 Build 12935) Mon, 06 Dec 2021 23:17:13 +0000 |
109 |
|
|
|
110 |
|
|
1. Fix compile error with fpc trunk (3.3.1 and later), due to type change to tzname in "unix" unit. |
111 |
|
|
|
112 |
|
|
2. Remove constraint in IAttachment.HasScollableCursors that returned false when |
113 |
|
|
using remote protocol. Scrollable cursors with remote database expected to |
114 |
|
|
be support for Firebird 4.0.1 onwards. Note: Firebird 4.0.0 will return |
115 |
|
|
a not supported error. |
116 |
|
|
|
117 |
|
|
3. IStatement: new function; |
118 |
|
|
TStatementFlag = (stHasCursor,stRepeatExecute,stScrollable); |
119 |
|
|
TStatementFlags = set of TStatementFlag; |
120 |
|
|
function GetFlags: TStatementFlags; |
121 |
|
|
|
122 |
|
|
4. Revised behaviour for IStatement.ExecuteQuery in order to preserve backwards |
123 |
|
|
compatibility. |
124 |
|
|
In Firebird 5, Update..Returning may returns multiple rows and hence the statemen |
125 |
|
|
type changes from ExecProcedure to Select. So that ExecuteQuery can continue |
126 |
|
|
to be used with Update...Retruning statements that return a singleton row, |
127 |
|
|
instead of raising an exception when ExecuteQuery is used with a (SELECT) statement, |
128 |
|
|
it will open the cursor and return the first row only. |
129 |
|
|
|
130 |
|
|
5. ITransaction: new functions: |
131 |
|
|
function GetIsReadOnly: boolean; |
132 |
|
|
function GetTransactionID: integer; |
133 |
|
|
function GetTrInformation(Requests: array of byte): ITrInformation; overload; |
134 |
|
|
function GetTrInformation(Request: byte): ITrInformation; overload; |
135 |
|
|
|
136 |
|
|
The latter two return the Transaction Information block. The first two extract |
137 |
|
|
information the Transaction Information block |
138 |
|
|
|
139 |
|
|
6. New function TSQLTokeniser.ReadCharacters |
140 |
|
|
Used internally. |
141 |
|
|
|
142 |
|
|
7. IStatement: GetProcessedSQL bug fix. No longer raises and error if SQL contains |
143 |
|
|
parameter placeholders instead of named parameters. |
144 |
|
|
|
145 |
|
|
8. ITransaction (Firebird 3 and later): An exception raised when freeing an underlying |
146 |
|
|
transaction handle is now ignored if Rollback/Commit is called with Force=true |
147 |
|
|
|
148 |
tony |
371 |
9. Tidy up of exception handling code. Under the legacy API, fb_interpret is now |
149 |
|
|
used to get an IBError Message instead of isc_interprete. |
150 |
|
|
|
151 |
|
|
10. Internal tidyup. Native code now used for decoding integers and the events |
152 |
|
|
buffer. Avoids dependencies on fbclient functions isc_portable_integer, |
153 |
|
|
isc_event_block and isc_event_counts. |
154 |
|
|
|
155 |
|
|
11. New IAttachment function |
156 |
|
|
function GetAttachmentID: integer; |
157 |
|
|
|
158 |
|
|
12. Internal changes to TFBClientAPI, TFBAttachment and TFBTransaction and TFB30 |
159 |
|
|
subclasses to enable UDR support. |
160 |
|
|
|
161 |

FBINTF Change Log version (1.3-2 Build 12889) Sun, 24 Oct 2021 13:49:28 +0100 |
162 |
tony |
347 |
|
163 |
|
|
1. TFBClientAPI.GetProcAddr. Add check for nil reference. |
164 |
|
|
|
165 |
|
|
2. IStatement: new methods: |
166 |
|
|
procedure SetStaleReferenceChecks(Enable:boolean); {default true} |
167 |
|
|
function GetStaleReferenceChecks: boolean; |
168 |
|
|
|
169 |
|
|
In previous versions, stale reference checks were always enabled. This allows the |
170 |
|
|
user to disable them on a per statement basis. Note this can risk out-of-date |
171 |
|
|
statement BLR. See User Guide. |
172 |
|
|
|
173 |
tony |
348 |
3. IBUtils: TSQLwithNamedParamsTokeniser now recognises a CASE...END block within a |
174 |
|
|
stored procedure and hence avoids replacing named parameters within a containing |
175 |
|
|
BEGIN..END block. |
176 |
|
|
|
177 |
tony |
349 |
4. ISQLParam: using a string value to set an integer field with a scale factor of |
178 |
|
|
zero is now treated as a special case to avoid the risk of floating point |
179 |
|
|
rounding errors affecting pure integers. |
180 |
|
|
|
181 |
|
|
5. ISQLParam: Review and tidy-up of SetAsString for numeric types. |
182 |
|
|
|
183 |
|
|
6. ISQLParam is now subclassed from IParamMetaData, which provides access to the mutable |
184 |
|
|
SQL Parameter metadata (methods moved from ISQLParam). |
185 |
|
|
|
186 |
|
|
7. ISQLParam: new method |
187 |
|
|
function getColMetadata: IParamMetaData; |
188 |
|
|
This instance of IParamMetaData returns the original column metadata which is unmutable. |
189 |
|
|
Note: ISQLParam metadata can change after a parameter value has been set e.g when |
190 |
|
|
setting a VARCHAR column to an integer value. |
191 |
|
|
|
192 |
tony |
350 |
8. IStatement: can now set cursor name when opening a cursor. New overloaded method: |
193 |
|
|
procedure Prepare(CursorName: AnsiString; aTransaction: ITransaction=nil); overload; |
194 |
|
|
also IAttachment: |
195 |
|
|
function Prepare(transaction: ITransaction; sql: AnsiString; aSQLDialect: integer; CursorName: AnsiString=''): IStatement; overload; |
196 |
|
|
function Prepare(transaction: ITransaction; sql: AnsiString; CursorName: AnsiString=''): IStatement; overload; |
197 |
|
|
function PrepareWithNamedParameters(transaction: ITransaction; sql: AnsiString; |
198 |
|
|
aSQLDialect: integer; GenerateParamNames: boolean=false; |
199 |
|
|
CaseSensitiveParams: boolean = false; CursorName: AnsiString=''): IStatement; overload; |
200 |
|
|
function PrepareWithNamedParameters(transaction: ITransaction; sql: AnsiString; |
201 |
|
|
GenerateParamNames: boolean=false; |
202 |
|
|
CaseSensitiveParams: boolean = false; CursorName: AnsiString=''): IStatement; overload; |
203 |
tony |
349 |
|
204 |
tony |
350 |
9. Support for scrollable cursors added. New/updated methods: |
205 |
|
|
IAttachment: |
206 |
tony |
352 |
function HasScollableCursors: boolean; |
207 |
tony |
350 |
function OpenCursor(transaction: ITransaction; sql: AnsiString; aSQLDialect: integer; |
208 |
|
|
Scrollable: boolean=false): IResultSet; overload; |
209 |
|
|
function OpenCursor(transaction: ITransaction; sql: AnsiString; Scrollable: boolean=false): IResultSet; overload; |
210 |
|
|
function OpenCursor(transaction: ITransaction; sql: AnsiString; aSQLDialect: integer; Scrollable: boolean; |
211 |
|
|
params: array of const): IResultSet; overload; |
212 |
|
|
function OpenCursor(transaction: ITransaction; sql: AnsiString; Scrollable: boolean=false; |
213 |
|
|
params: array of const): IResultSet; overload; |
214 |
|
|
function OpenCursorAtStart(transaction: ITransaction; sql: AnsiString; aSQLDialect: integer; Scrollable: boolean; |
215 |
|
|
params: array of const): IResultSet; overload; |
216 |
|
|
function OpenCursorAtStart(transaction: ITransaction; sql: AnsiString; aSQLDialect: integer; |
217 |
|
|
Scrollable: boolean=false): IResultSet; overload; |
218 |
|
|
function OpenCursorAtStart(transaction: ITransaction; sql: AnsiString; Scrollable: boolean=false): IResultSet; overload; |
219 |
|
|
function OpenCursorAtStart(transaction: ITransaction; sql: AnsiString; Scrollable: boolean; |
220 |
|
|
params: array of const): IResultSet; overload; |
221 |
|
|
function OpenCursorAtStart(sql: AnsiString; Scrollable: boolean=false): IResultSet; overload; |
222 |
|
|
function OpenCursorAtStart(sql: AnsiString; Scrollable: boolean; |
223 |
|
|
params: array of const): IResultSet; overload; |
224 |
|
|
IStatement: |
225 |
|
|
function OpenCursor(Scrollable: boolean; CursorName: AnsiString =''; aTransaction: ITransaction=nil): IResultSet; overload; |
226 |
|
|
IResultSet: |
227 |
|
|
function FetchPrior: boolean; {fetch previous record} |
228 |
|
|
function FetchFirst:boolean; {fetch first record} |
229 |
|
|
function FetchLast: boolean; {fetch last record} |
230 |
|
|
function FetchAbsolute(position: Integer): boolean; {fetch record by its absolute position in result set} |
231 |
|
|
function FetchRelative(offset: Integer): boolean; {fetch record by position relative to current} |
232 |
|
|
function IsBof: boolean; |
233 |
|
|
|
234 |
tony |
353 |
10. IArray: tidyup of SetAsString method to ensure correct handling of fixed point numbers. |
235 |
tony |
350 |
|
236 |
tony |
353 |
11. IBUtils: TSQLTokeniser. CRLF now combined by low level parser into sqltEOL token. This |
237 |
|
|
may be noticeable when a line separator occurs inside quoted text. The quoted text |
238 |
|
|
output by the tokeniser will now use the platform specific lineEnding regardless |
239 |
|
|
of whether the input uses the CRLF or LF as a line separator. |
240 |
tony |
350 |
|
241 |
tony |
353 |
12. IStatement, IResultsSet: Support for scrollable cursors added (note: local databases only) |
242 |
|
|
|
243 |
|
|
|

FBINTF Change Log version (1.3-1 Build 12776) Mon, 23 Aug 2021 11:09:33 +0100 |
245 |
|
|
|
246 |
|
|
1. Integer decodes in information blocks (e.g. IDBInfoItem) widened from 32 bit to 64-bit integers. |
247 |
|
|
|
248 |
|
|
2. Support for inline blob encoding. Blob values pass using the "SetAsString" method |
249 |
|
|
will now be encoded inline (i.e. as part of the parameter buffer) if they are |
250 |
|
|
shorter than a pre-set limit. Longer values continue to be saved as blobs as a |
251 |
|
|
separate server interaction. This is intended as a performance optimisation. |
252 |
|
|
|
253 |
|
|
The pre-set limit defaults to 8192 bytes and can be inspected/modified using the new |
254 |
|
|
IAttachment interface functions: |
255 |
|
|
|
256 |
|
|
function GetInlineBlobLimit: integer; |
257 |
|
|
procedure SetInlineBlobLimit(limit: integer); |
258 |
|
|
|
259 |
|
|
3. Support for Firebird 4 IBatch interface added. This is largely transparent to the API |
260 |
|
|
user as the functionality is embedded in the implementation of the IStatement |
261 |
|
|
interface. Three new functions are defined: |
262 |
|
|
|
263 |
|
|
procedure AddToBatch; |
264 |
|
|
function ExecuteBatch(aTransaction: ITransaction=nil): IBatchCompletion; |
265 |
|
|
procedure CancelBatch; |
266 |
|
|
function GetBatchCompletion: IBatchCompletion; |
267 |
|
|
function GetBatchRowLimit: integer; |
268 |
|
|
procedure SetBatchRowLimit(aLimit: integer); |
269 |
|
|
|
270 |
|
|
Also |
271 |
|
|
|
272 |
|
|
function IsInBatchMode: boolean; {true after call to execute(eaDefer)} |
273 |
|
|
function HasBatchMode: boolean; {true if and only if IBatch Supported} |
274 |
|
|
|
275 |
|
|
For more information see the User Guide. |
276 |
|
|
|
277 |
|
|
4. Default error message contents. Now aligned with User Guide section 10.2 i.e. error messages |
278 |
|
|
provided with the EIBInterBaseError now include all three parts. |
279 |
|
|
|
280 |
|
|
5. Firebird.pas and include files updated to Firebird 4.0.0 |
281 |
|
|
|
282 |
|
|
6. New IStatement method: function GetSQLStatementTypeName: AnsiString; |
283 |
|
|
Returns SQL Statement type as a text string; |
284 |
|
|
|
285 |
|
|
7. ISQLData.AsInteger and AsInt64 now use "Round" to convert a float field to |
286 |
|
|
an integer instead of "trunc". This is for compatibility with TFloatField.AsInteger. |
287 |

|
290 |
|
|
1. Big fix for Firebird 4.0. A internal change in Firebird 4.0.0 from RC1 flushed out a |
291 |

1. Imported (Firebird) constants updated for Firebird 4. |
296 |
|
|
|
297 |
|
|
2. Firebird.pas from Firebird 4 integrated into source code tree. |
298 |
|
|
|
299 |
|
|
3. Added Support for TIMETAMP WITH TIME ZONE and TIME WITH TIME ZONE data types. |
300 |
|
|
|
301 |
|
|
4. Added Support for SQL_DEC16, SQL_DEC34 and extended NUMERIC precision. |
302 |
|
|
|
303 |
|
|
5. New unit 'FBClientLib.pas' added and provides new interface IFBIMasterProvider. |
304 |
|
|
QueryInterface may be used to coerce this interface from IFirebirdAPI. The |
305 |
|
|
interface provides a single method "function GetIMasterIntf: IMaster". This provides |
306 |
|
|
type safe access to the Firebird IMaster interface and avoids the need to turn |
307 |
|
|
off object checks when coercing "function GetIMaster: TObject" to IMaster. |
308 |
|
|
|
309 |
|
|
6. New IFirebirdAPI Calls: |
310 |
|
|
function HasLocalTZDB: boolean; |

313 |
|
|
procedure SQLDecFloatEncode(aValue: tBCD; SQLType: cardinal; bufptr: PByte); |
314 |
|
|
function SQLDecFloatDecode(SQLType: cardinal; scale: integer; bufptr: PByte): tBCD; |
315 |
|
|
|
316 |
|
|

function HasTimeZoneSupport: boolean; |
320 |
|
|
|
321 |
|
|

335 |
|
|
procedure GetAsTime(var aTime: TDateTime; var dstOffset: smallint; var aTimezone: AnsiString; OnDate: TDateTime); overload; |

|
358 |
|
|
12. Utility functions in IBUtils |
359 |

361 |
|
|
procedure FBDecodeTime(aTime: TDateTime; var Hour, Minute, Second: word; var DeciMillisecond: cardinal); |
362 |
|
|
function FBEncodeTime(Hour, Minute, Second, DeciMillisecond: cardinal): TDateTime; |
363 |
|
|
function FBFormatDateTime(fmt: AnsiString; aDateTime: TDateTime): AnsiString; |
364 |
|
|
function FormatTimeZoneOffset(EffectiveTimeOffsetMins: integer): AnsiString; |
365 |
|
|
function DecodeTimeZoneOffset(TZOffset: AnsiString; var dstOffset: integer): boolean; |
366 |
|
|
|
367 |
|
|
13. IDPB, ITPB and ISPB: new interface method |
368 |
|
|
function AddByTypeName(ParamTypeName: AnsiString): IDPBItem/ITPBItem/ISPBItem; |
369 |
|
|
This is used to add a parameter block item by the string equivalent of its |
370 |
|
|
symbolic type name. e.g. DPB.AddByTypeName('isc_dpb_user_name').AsString := '...' |
371 |
|
|
|
372 |
|
|
14. IDPBItem/ITPBItem/ISPBItem: new interface method: |
373 |
|
|
function getParamTypeName: AnsiString; |
374 |
|
|
|
375 |
|
|
15. fb_shutdown now called before unloading Firebird library. This can avoid a |
376 |
|
|
SIGEVENT error when a programme using the embeded server is unloaded. |
377 |
|
|

308 |
1. GetImplementationVersion now correctly returns '3.0' for Firebird 3 API |
381 |
|
|
with a Firebrid 3 client library. |
382 |
|
|
|
383 |
|
|
2. Linux Only: FIREBIRD environment variable is now checked when loading the client library. |
384 |
|
|
If a client library path is not explicitly provided and the FIREBIRD environment |
385 |
|
|
variable is set then the directory given by this variable and any 'lib' subdirectory |
386 |
|
|
are searched for the Firebird client library. Only if none is found, is the default |
387 |
|
|
client library used. |
388 |
|
|
|
389 |
|
|
3. IUtil.FormatStatus now used to format error messages when using new API |
390 |
|
|
|
391 |
|
|
4. Fixed Array SDL: array_desc_scale now correctly encoded as a signed integer. |
392 |
|
|
|
393 |
|
|
5. SQL_TEXT handling changed. When the value of an SQL_TEXT (i.e. fixed width string) column is |
394 |
|
|
returned using GetAsString and the string codepage is UTF8, the string is truncated so |
395 |
|
|
that the byte length corresponds to the number of characters specified for the column. |
396 |
|
|
SQL_TEXT strings are no longer automatically trimmed to remove all trailing white space. This is |
397 |
|
|
correct behaviour but may affect some implementations that relied upon automatic |
398 |
|
|
trimming of trailing white space. |
399 |
|
|
|
400 |
|
|
6. New IFirebirdAPI Calls: |
401 |
|
|
function GetClientMajor: integer; |
402 |
|
|
function GetClientMinor: integer; |
403 |
|
|
|
404 |
tony |
309 |
7. IColumnMetaData and IArrayMetaData: new method |
405 |
|
|
function GetCharSetWidth: integer; |

1. ISQLParams.GetHasCaseSensitiveParams added. Returns true if param names are |
410 |
|
|
case sensitive |
411 |
|
|
|
412 |
|
|
2. Single line SQL comments starting with '--' are now recognised by SQL Parser. |
413 |
|
|
|
414 |
tony |
291 |
3. New API Calls: |
415 |
|
|

ISQLData.GetStrDataLength |
418 |
tony |
291 |
IResults.GetStatement |
419 |
|
|
IAttachment.OpenBlob (using Blob metadata) |
420 |
|
|
IAttachment.OpenArray (using array metadata) |
421 |
|
|
|
422 |
|
|
4. FBMessages: removal of unused messages |
423 |
|
|
|
424 |
|
|
5. TFBArray.Create (2nd case): ensure that FFirebirdClientAPI is correctly set. |
425 |
|
|
|
426 |
|
|
6. TIBSQLStatementType: SQLSavePoint added to end of enumeration. |

430 |
|
|
1. Fix a problem with the SQL parameter parser that failed to recognise parameters |
431 |
|
|
where the second character of the parameter name is a numeric. |
432 |
|
|
|
433 |
tony |
266 |
2. New method for IAttachment: procedure getFBVersion(version: TStrings); |
434 |
|
|
This returns the isc_version connection information as one or more lines. |
435 |
|
|
This is the same information as returned by isql with the -z option. |
436 |
tony |
265 |
|
437 |
tony |
270 |
3. If -dFIREBIRD3APIONLY is used as a compiler option then the legacy Firebird API |
438 |
|
|
is no longer compiled in. Likewise, if -dLEGACYFIREBIRDAPIONLY is used as a |
439 |
|
|
compiler option then the Firebird 3 API is no longer compiled in. |
440 |
tony |
266 |
|
441 |
tony |
270 |
4. IColumnMetaData: new method. |
442 |
|
|
|
443 |
|
|
TIBDateTimeFormats = (dfTimestamp, {SQL TIMESTAMP} |
444 |
|
|
dfDateTime, {SQL DATETIME} |
445 |
|
|
dfTime); |
446 |
|
|
|
447 |
|
|
function GetDateTimeStrLength(DateTimeFormat: TIBDateTimeFormats): integer; |
448 |
|
|
|
449 |
|
|
This returns the max. number of characters returned by the "AsString" method |
450 |
|
|
when the SQL type of the column is respectively TIMESTAMP, DATETIME or TIME. |
451 |
|
|
|
452 |
|
|
5. Additional argument for IAttachment.PrepareWithNamedParameters - |
453 |
|
|
CaseSensitiveParams: boolean = false |
454 |
|
|
|
455 |
|
|
If this argument is set to true then SQL parameter names are assumed to be case |
456 |
|
|
sensitive and must be referenced (using ISQLParams.ByName) using the case |
457 |
|
|
sensitive name. |
458 |
|
|
|
459 |
|
|
6. Bug fix: when setting a query parameter, it is now possible, when the parameter |
460 |
|
|
is of type VarChar or Char to set the parameter to a numeric value (e.g. using |
461 |
|
|
.AsCurrency) and then subsequently to update the value to a non-numeric string |
462 |
|
|
using .AsString. |

238 |
|
468 |
|
|
1. DARWIN only syntax error: fix missing semi-colon in TFBClientAPI.LoadIBLibrary |
469 |
|
|
|
470 |
tony |
263 |
2. Restrict IsMultiThread check to Unix only for compatibility with |
471 |
|
|
https://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=30535 |
472 |
|
|
|
473 |
|
|
3. New SQL Tokeniser added to IBUtils. This is used to pre-process SQL with |
474 |
|
|
named parameters and is intended to avoid problems with (e.g.) Execute Block |
475 |
|
|
and processing internal parameters as statement parameters. |
476 |
|
|
|
477 |
|
|
4. New interface IFirebirdLibrary provides access to the underlying firebird DLL |
478 |
|
|
or shared object. Available via a new member (GetFBLibrary) of IFirebirdAPI. |
479 |
|
|
|
480 |
|
|
5. New function added to IB.pas |
481 |
|
|
|
482 |
|
|
function LoadFBLibrary(aLibPathName: string): IFirebirdLibrary |
483 |
|
|
|
484 |
|
|
This allows a Firebird Library to be loaded from an explicit path. use the |
485 |
|
|
IFirebirdLibrary.GetFirebirdAPI member function to get the Firebird API using |
486 |
|
|
the library. It is possible to load Firebird libraries from different locations |
487 |
|
|
simultaneously, each with a distinct IFirebirdAPI. |

491 |
tony |
209 |
1. Firebird.pas: {$OBJECTCHECKS OFF} added to file to avoid runtime error when |
492 |
|
|
program compiled with -CR command line switch. |
493 |
|
|
|
494 |
|
|
2. IServiceManager additions (informational): |
495 |
|
|
function getProtocol: TProtocol; |
496 |
|
|
function getPortNo: AnsiString; |
497 |
|
|
|
498 |
|
|
3. IServiceManager improved error handling. Interfaces changed: |
499 |
|
|
function Start(Request: ISRB; RaiseExceptionOnError: boolean=true): boolean; |
500 |
|
|
function Query(SQPB: ISQPB; Request: ISRB; RaiseExceptionOnError: boolean=true) :IServiceQueryResults; overload; |
501 |
|
|
function Query(Request: ISRB; RaiseExceptionOnError: boolean=true) :IServiceQueryResults; overload; |
502 |
|
|
|
503 |
|
|
4. IAttachment addition (informational) |
504 |
|
|
function GetSecurityDatabase: AnsiString; |
505 |
|
|
|
506 |
|
|
5. IStatement: performance counters now updated after each Fetch. GetPerfStatistics |
507 |
|
|
thus now returns accumulated stats for a select statement from opening a cursor |
508 |
|
|
up to the last fetch. |
509 |
|
|
|
510 |
|
|
6. DARWIN: uloadlibrary.inc bug fix. Many thanks to Luigi Naimi for correcting |
511 |
|
|
the problem. |
512 |
|
|
|
513 |
|
|
7. Type change: "TPerfCounters = array[TPerfStats] of Int64". Note "Int64" |
514 |
|
|
replaces deprecated "comp" type. |
515 |
|
|
|
516 |
tony |
217 |
10. Testsuite Test10 updated to include thread synchronisation for event reporting. |
517 |
tony |
209 |
|
518 |
tony |
231 |
11. URL Connection Strings: inet4 and inet6 now recognised. |
519 |
tony |
217 |
|
520 |
tony |
231 |
12. IBUtils: Parse and Make Connect String now recognise URL style loopback syntax. |
521 |
|
|
|
522 |

526 |
|
|
|
527 |
tony |
107 |
1. IBUtils.QuoteIdentifierIfNeeded: Add check for space character. |
528 |
|
|
|
529 |
tony |
109 |
2. IAttachment: add two new methods |
530 |
|
|
function HasDefaultCharSet: boolean; |
531 |
|
|
function GetDefaultCharSetID: integer; |
532 |
|
|
|
533 |
|
|
These return, respectively, true if a connection default character set was |
534 |
tony |
117 |
specified and the character set id of the connection default character set. |
535 |
|
|
The DefaultCharSetID is cached when the connection is opened and hence does not |
536 |
|
|
require a database lookup. |
537 |
tony |
109 |
|
538 |
tony |
110 |
3. Avoid exception when a text blob is a stored procedure parameter. |
539 |
tony |
109 |
|
540 |
tony |
111 |
4. Update test suite to include a test for a stored proc returning a text blob. |
541 |
|
|
|
542 |
tony |
117 |
5. IAttachment: add |
543 |
|
|
function GetRemoteProtocol: AnsiString; |
544 |
|
|
function GetODSMajorVersion: integer; |
545 |
|
|
function GetODSMinorVersion: integer; |
546 |
tony |
143 |
function GetAuthenticationMethod: AnsiString; |
547 |
tony |
117 |
|
548 |
|
|
These results are cached when the connection is opened and hence do not |
549 |
|
|
require a database lookup. |
550 |
|
|
|
551 |
|
|
6. IAttachment: add "function GetConnectString: AnsiString;" This returns the |
552 |
|
|
connect string used to create/connect to the database. |
553 |
|
|
|
554 |
|
|
7. IAttachment: Create Database using SQL statement. The username and password |
555 |
|
|
are now extracted and used to populate a DPB made available via IAttachment.getDPB. |
556 |
|
|
It is now possible to use IAttachment disconnect/connect to reconnect to |
557 |
|
|
a database for which the initial connection was established by a create |
558 |
tony |
120 |
database sql statement. Available in FPC only. |
559 |
tony |
117 |
|
560 |
|
|
8. Update Test 1 to test 5, 6 and 7 above. |
561 |
|
|
|
562 |
|
|
9. IBUtils code tidy up. |
563 |
|
|
|
564 |
tony |
143 |
10. Parameter Block interfaces "find" method. As documented, this should have |
565 |
|
|
returned a nil interface when the item could not be found. Instead, an empty |
566 |
|
|
interface item was returned. "Find" now works as documented and will return |
567 |
|
|
a nil interface if the item cannot be found. |
568 |
|
|
|
569 |
|
|
11. DBInformation: support added for isc_info_active_tran_count and isc_info_creation_date. |
570 |
|
|
|
571 |
|
|
12. DBInformation: New interfaces: IDIRB and IDIRBItem added to support DB Information |
572 |
|
|
requests with additional parameters. This is to enable support for fb_info_page_contents |
573 |
|
|
(return of page contents). Response to fb_info_page_contents returned as |
574 |
|
|
a string with code page CP_NONE. |
575 |
|
|
|
576 |
|
|
13. DBInformation: Support for fb_info_pages_used and fb_info_pages_free added, plus |
577 |
|
|
test suite updated. |
578 |
|
|
|
579 |
|
|
14. DBInformation: Support for fb_info_crypt_key (Firebird 3.0.3 onwards) added as |
580 |
|
|
a string type, and fb_info_conn_flags (Firebird 3.0.3 onwards) added as an integer type. |
581 |
|
|
|
582 |
|
|
15. Service Manager: List of protocols supported expanded to include inet, wnet and xnet. |
583 |
|
|
An overloaded version of IIFirebirdAPI.GetServiceManager also allows a non |
584 |
|
|
default connection port to be specified. |

1. Fix issues with setting SQL Param values using SetAsString with Numeric types. |
589 |
|
|
Scale is no longer ignored. |
590 |
|
|
|
591 |
|
|
2. Fix issues with setting SQL Param values using SetAsString with Date values |
592 |
|
|
not in locale format but which are recognised by Firebird. Date values that |
593 |
|
|
cannot be converted to a string using Pascal library are now passed through |
594 |
|
|
to Firebird as Text Strings. |
595 |
|
|
|
596 |

3. Lookup character set name by codepage amended to ensure that CP_UTF8 returns |
597 |
|
|
UTF8 and not UNICODE_FSS. |
598 |
|
|
|
599 |
|
|
4. Charset ID problem. When using Firebird 3, with no default database character set |
600 |
|
|
and a column has a non-default collation specified, an incorrect character set |
601 |
|
|
id was being reported that could result in a 'division by zero' error when |
602 |
|
|
used by IBX. This has now been fixed. |
603 |
|
|
|
604 |
|
|
5. Move GetCharsetName, CharSetID2CodePage, CodePage2CharSetID, CharSetName2CharSetID, |
605 |
|
|
CharSetWidth from IFirebirdAPI to IAttachment. This is a better data model as |
606 |
|
|
the character sets supported can be updated on a per database basis. That is |
607 |
|
|
it is possible to add a (Firebird) user defined character set to a database. |
608 |
|
|
|
609 |
|
|
6. Add RegisterCharSet to IAttachment. This is used to register a user defined character |
610 |
|
|
set supported by Firebird with the API. |
611 |
|
|
|
612 |
tony |
61 |
7. Add missing isc_info_db_read_only to list of decoded Database Information items |
613 |
|
|
in FBOutputBlock.pas and update test suite to include this item. |
614 |
tony |
60 |
|
615 |

63 |
8. FB30Client: avoid always using "StartMultiple" when only a single database attachment. |
616 |
tony |
61 |
|
617 |
tony |
68 |
9. Loading Windows fbclient.dll: when using the FIREBIRD variable to locate the client |
618 |
|
|
library or finding it by disk location, the PATH environment variable is now also set to |
619 |
|
|
include the FIREBIRD directory. This is to ensure that the correct dlls in the |
620 |
|
|
firebird client library dependencies are loaded. |
621 |
tony |
63 |
|
622 |

68 |
10. Testsuite: Ensure consistent UTF-8 output on Windows console. |
623 |
|
|
|
624 |
|
|
11. Testsuite: Update Windows script to include FPC 3.0.4 in search path. |
625 |
|
|
|
626 |
|
|
12. FB30Statement: Protect call to "Move" and avoid calling with a nil pointer |
627 |
|
|
|
628 |
|
|
13. FB30Statement: A check has been added to ensure that all SQL Parameters |
629 |
|
|
have been given a value (including NULL). Previously, failing to set the |
630 |
|
|
value of an SQL Parameter could give rise to unpredictable results or |
631 |
|
|
an SQLDA error. |
632 |
|
|
|
633 |
|
|
14. FB30Statement/FB25Statement: Set SQLParam "modified" when string value set. |
634 |
|
|
|
635 |
tony |
70 |
15. FBAttachment: Avoid string reference count error when processing an Ansistring |
636 |
|
|
parameter in an array of const passed to IAttachment.OpenCursor, etc. |
637 |
tony |
68 |
|
638 |
tony |
70 |
16. FBAttachment: Allow for WideString and UnicodeString parameters in an array |
639 |
|
|
of const passed to IAttachment.OpenCursor, etc. |

1. Change syntax to Mode Delphi |
645 |
|
|
|
646 |
|
|
2. Change all uses of string type to explicit AnsiString in order to ensure |
647 |
|
|
compatibility between Delphi and FPC. |
648 |
|
|
|
649 |
|
|
3. Various syntax changes to ensure Delphi and FPC compilation including GUIDs |
650 |
|
|
defined for each interface. |
651 |
|
|
|
652 |
|
|
4. Generics syntax variations for Delphi added |
653 |
|
|
|
654 |
|
|
5. PChar replaced with PByte expect where an actual string is being referenced, |
655 |
|
|
where PAnsiChar is used instead. |
656 |
|
|
|
657 |
|
|
6. Review of type definitions in IBExternals to ensure Delphi compatibility |
658 |
|
|
|
659 |
|
|
7. Testsuite updated for Delphi |

1. Limit maximum Blob segment read/write to MaxuShort. Avoids data loss with |
664 |
|
|
large blobs and the FB3 API. |
665 |
|
|
|
666 |
|
|
2. Update Event Handling algorithm to avoid looping due to recreation of the |
667 |
|
|
event block. |
668 |
|
|
|
669 |
|
|
3. Avoid invalid XSQLDA error when the only parameter is updated to null |
670 |
|
|
|
671 |
|
|
4. Array Handling: fix problem with text arrays with character set none. When the |
672 |
|
|
DB connection has a default character set (e.g. UTF8), an error is raised by |
673 |
|
|
Firebird if the space allocated is not enough to allow for transliteration, even |
674 |
|
|
though it is not required for character set none. |
675 |
|
|
|
676 |
|
|
5. IBUtils: List of reserved words brought up-to-date |
677 |
|
|
|
678 |
|
|
6. Add ISQL style performance statistics collection to IStatement |
679 |
|
|
|
680 |
|
|
7. Add IFirebirdAPI.CreateDatabase variant to allow execution of user provided |
681 |
|
|
CREATE DATABASE statement. |
682 |
|
|
|
683 |
|
|
8. Update SQL Statement parsing to allow for Array Dimensions. That is so that the ':' in |
684 |
|
|
an array dimension is not mistaken for a named parameter prefix. |
685 |
|
|
|
686 |
|
|
9. Trim function no longer applied to result of GetAsString for SQL_TEXT |
687 |
|
|
when Character set is octets. Avoids loss of non printable characters at start of string. |
688 |
|
|
|
689 |
|
|
10. Add function GetPerfStatistics to IStatement. This returns ISQL like performance |
690 |
|
|
statistics for the last action. Requires use of procedure IStatement.EnableStatistics |
691 |
|
|
to enable stats gathering. |
692 |
|
|
|
693 |
|
|
11. API Version information added as constants to IB.pas |
694 |
|
|
|
695 |
|
|
12. BlobMetaData character set id should now be the same as that given by IColumnMetaData.GetCharSetID |
696 |
|
|
|
697 |
|
|
13. Firebird Character set "NONE" now interpreted as codepage CP_ACP. |
