2 >
3 > 1. Firebird.pas: {$OBJECTCHECKS OFF} added to file to avoid runtime error when
4 >   program compiled with -CR command line switch.
5 >
6 > 2. IServiceManager additions (informational):
7 >    function getProtocol: TProtocol;
8 >    function getPortNo: AnsiString;
9 >
10 > 3. IServiceManager improved error handling. Interfaces changed:
11 >    function Start(Request: ISRB; RaiseExceptionOnError: boolean=true): boolean;
12 >    function Query(SQPB: ISQPB; Request: ISRB; RaiseExceptionOnError: boolean=true) :IServiceQueryResults; overload;
13 >    function Query(Request: ISRB; RaiseExceptionOnError: boolean=true) :IServiceQueryResults; overload;
14 >
15 > 4. IAttachment addition (informational)
16 >    function GetSecurityDatabase: AnsiString;
17 >
18 > 5. IStatement: performance counters now updated after each Fetch. GetPerfStatistics
19 >   thus now returns accumulated stats for a select statement from opening a cursor
20 >   up to the last fetch.
21 >
22 > 6. DARWIN: uloadlibrary.inc bug fix. Many thanks to Luigi Naimi for correcting
23 >   the problem.
24 >
25 > 7. Type change: "TPerfCounters = array[TPerfStats] of Int64". Note "Int64"
26 >   replaces deprecated "comp" type.
27 >
28 > 10. Testsuite Test10 updated to include thread synchronisation for event reporting.
29 >

31 > FBINTF Change Log  version (1.1-1) Tue, 27 Feb 2018 16:51:16 +0000
32 >
33 > 1. IBUtils.QuoteIdentifierIfNeeded: Add check for space character.
34 >
35 > 2. IAttachment: add two new methods
36 >     function HasDefaultCharSet: boolean;
37 >     function GetDefaultCharSetID: integer;
38 >
39 >   These return, respectively, true if a connection default character set was
40 >   specified and the character set id of the connection default character set.
41 >   The DefaultCharSetID is cached when the connection is opened and hence does not
42 >   require a database lookup.
43 >
44 > 3. Avoid exception when a text blob is a stored procedure parameter.
45 >
46 > 4. Update test suite to include a test for a stored proc returning a text blob.
47 >
48 > 5. IAttachment: add
49 >      function GetRemoteProtocol: AnsiString;
50 >      function GetODSMajorVersion: integer;
51 >      function GetODSMinorVersion: integer;
52 >      function GetAuthenticationMethod: AnsiString;
53 >
54 >   These results are cached when the connection is opened and hence do not
55 >   require a database lookup.
56 >
57 > 6. IAttachment: add "function GetConnectString: AnsiString;" This returns the
58 >   connect string used to create/connect to the database.
59 >
60 > 7. IAttachment: Create Database using SQL statement. The username and password
61 >   are now extracted and used to populate a DPB made available via IAttachment.getDPB.
62 >   It is now possible to use IAttachment disconnect/connect to reconnect to
63 >   a database for which the initial connection was established by a create
64 >   database sql statement. Available in FPC only.
65 >
66 > 8. Update Test 1 to test 5, 6 and 7 above.
67 >
68 > 9. IBUtils code tidy up.
69 >
70 > 10. Parameter Block interfaces "find" method. As documented, this should have
71 >   returned a nil interface when the item could not be found. Instead, an empty
72 >   interface item was returned. "Find" now works as documented and will return
73 >   a nil interface if the item cannot be found.
74 >
75 > 11. DBInformation: support added for isc_info_active_tran_count and isc_info_creation_date.
76 >
77 > 12. DBInformation: New interfaces: IDIRB and IDIRBItem added to support DB Information
78 >    requests with additional parameters. This is to enable support for fb_info_page_contents
79 >    (return of page contents). Response to fb_info_page_contents returned as
80 >    a string with code page CP_NONE.
81 >
82 > 13. DBInformation: Support for fb_info_pages_used and fb_info_pages_free added, plus
83 >    test suite updated.
84 >
85 > 14. DBInformation: Support for fb_info_crypt_key (Firebird 3.0.3 onwards) added as
86 >    a string type, and fb_info_conn_flags (Firebird 3.0.3 onwards) added as an integer type.
87 >
88 > 15. Service Manager: List of protocols supported expanded to include inet, wnet and xnet.
89 >    An overloaded version of IIFirebirdAPI.GetServiceManager also allows a non
90 >    default connection port to be specified.
91 >

93 >
94 > 1. Fix issues with setting SQL Param values using SetAsString with Numeric types.
95 >   Scale is no longer ignored.
96 >
97 > 2. Fix issues with setting SQL Param values using SetAsString with Date values
98 >   not in locale format but which are recognised by Firebird. Date values that
99 >   cannot be converted to a string using Pascal library are now passed through
100 >   to Firebird as Text Strings.
101 >
102 > 3. Lookup character set name by codepage amended to ensure that CP_UTF8 returns
103 >   UTF8 and not UNICODE_FSS.
104 >
105 > 4. Charset ID problem. When using Firebird 3, with no default database character set
106 >   and a column has a non-default collation specified, an incorrect character set
107 >   id was being reported that could result in a 'division by zero' error when
108 >   used by IBX. This has now been fixed.
109 >
110 > 5. Move GetCharsetName, CharSetID2CodePage, CodePage2CharSetID, CharSetName2CharSetID,
111 >   CharSetWidth from IFirebirdAPI to IAttachment. This is a better data model as
112 >   the character sets supported can be updated on a per database basis. That is
113 >   it is possible to add a (Firebird) user defined character set to a database.
114 >
115 > 6. Add RegisterCharSet to IAttachment. This is used to register a user defined character
116 >   set supported by Firebird with the API.
117 >
118 > 7. Add missing isc_info_db_read_only to list of decoded Database Information items
119 >   in FBOutputBlock.pas and update test suite to include this item.
120 >
121 > 8. FB30Client: avoid always using "StartMultiple" when only a single database attachment.
122 >
123 > 9. Loading Windows fbclient.dll: when using the FIREBIRD variable to locate the client
124 >   library or finding it by disk location, the PATH environment variable is now also set to
125 >   include the FIREBIRD directory. This is to ensure that the correct dlls in the
126 >   firebird client library dependencies are loaded.
127 >
128 > 10. Testsuite: Ensure consistent UTF-8 output on Windows console.
129 >
130 > 11. Testsuite: Update Windows script to include FPC 3.0.4 in search path.
131 >
132 > 12. FB30Statement: Protect call to "Move" and avoid calling with a nil pointer
133 >
134 > 13. FB30Statement: A check has been added to ensure that all SQL Parameters
135 >    have been given a value (including NULL). Previously, failing to set the
136 >    value of an SQL Parameter could give rise to unpredictable results or
137 >    an SQLDA error.
138 >
139 > 14. FB30Statement/FB25Statement: Set SQLParam "modified" when string value set.
140 >
141 > 15. FBAttachment: Avoid string reference count error when processing an Ansistring
142 >    parameter in an array of const passed to IAttachment.OpenCursor, etc.
143 >
144 > 16. FBAttachment: Allow for WideString and UnicodeString parameters in an array
145 >    of const passed to IAttachment.OpenCursor, etc.
146 >
147 >
148 > FBINTF Change Log  version             (1.0-2) Sat, 04 Mar 2017 14:43:56 +0000
149 >
150 > 1. Change syntax to Mode Delphi
151 >
152 > 2. Change all uses of string type to explicit AnsiString in order to ensure
153 >   compatibility between Delphi and FPC.
154 >
155 > 3. Various syntax changes to ensure Delphi and FPC compilation including GUIDs
156 >   defined for each interface.
157 >
158 > 4. Generics syntax variations for Delphi added
159 >
160 > 5. PChar replaced with PByte expect where an actual string is being referenced,
161 >   where PAnsiChar is used instead.
162 >
163 > 6. Review of type definitions in IBExternals to ensure Delphi compatibility
164 >
165 > 7. Testsuite updated for Delphi
166 >

169   1. Limit maximum Blob segment read/write to MaxuShort. Avoids data loss with
170     large blobs and the FB3 API.
