2
3 1. IBUtils.QuoteIdentifierIfNeeded: Add check for space character.
4
5 2. IAttachment: add two new methods
6 function HasDefaultCharSet: boolean;
7 function GetDefaultCharSetID: integer;
8
9 These return, respectively, true if a connection default character set was
10 specified and the character set id of the connection default character set.
11 The DefaultCharSetID is cached when the connection is opened and hence does not
12 require a database lookup.
13
14 3. Avoid exception when a text blob is a stored procedure parameter.
15
16 4. Update test suite to include a test for a stored proc returning a text blob.
17
18 5. IAttachment: add
19 function GetRemoteProtocol: AnsiString;
20 function GetODSMajorVersion: integer;
21 function GetODSMinorVersion: integer;
22 function GetAuthenticationMethod: AnsiString;
23
24 These results are cached when the connection is opened and hence do not
25 require a database lookup.
26
27 6. IAttachment: add "function GetConnectString: AnsiString;" This returns the
28 connect string used to create/connect to the database.
29
30 7. IAttachment: Create Database using SQL statement. The username and password
31 are now extracted and used to populate a DPB made available via IAttachment.getDPB.
32 It is now possible to use IAttachment disconnect/connect to reconnect to
33 a database for which the initial connection was established by a create
34 database sql statement. Available in FPC only.
35
36 8. Update Test 1 to test 5, 6 and 7 above.
37
38 9. IBUtils code tidy up.
39
40 10. Parameter Block interfaces "find" method. As documented, this should have
41 returned a nil interface when the item could not be found. Instead, an empty
42 interface item was returned. "Find" now works as documented and will return
43 a nil interface if the item cannot be found.
44
45 11. DBInformation: support added for isc_info_active_tran_count and isc_info_creation_date.
46
47 12. DBInformation: New interfaces: IDIRB and IDIRBItem added to support DB Information
48 requests with additional parameters. This is to enable support for fb_info_page_contents
49 (return of page contents). Response to fb_info_page_contents returned as
50 a string with code page CP_NONE.
51
52 13. DBInformation: Support for fb_info_pages_used and fb_info_pages_free added, plus
53 test suite updated.
54
55 14. DBInformation: Support for fb_info_crypt_key (Firebird 3.0.3 onwards) added as
56 a string type, and fb_info_conn_flags (Firebird 3.0.3 onwards) added as an integer type.
57
58 15. Service Manager: List of protocols supported expanded to include inet, wnet and xnet.
59 An overloaded version of IIFirebirdAPI.GetServiceManager also allows a non
60 default connection port to be specified.
61
62 FBINTF Change Log version (1.1-0) Sun, 07 Jan 2018 15:20:02 +0000
63
64 1. Fix issues with setting SQL Param values using SetAsString with Numeric types.
65 Scale is no longer ignored.
66
67 2. Fix issues with setting SQL Param values using SetAsString with Date values
68 not in locale format but which are recognised by Firebird. Date values that
69 cannot be converted to a string using Pascal library are now passed through
70 to Firebird as Text Strings.
71
72 3. Lookup character set name by codepage amended to ensure that CP_UTF8 returns
73 UTF8 and not UNICODE_FSS.
74
75 4. Charset ID problem. When using Firebird 3, with no default database character set
76 and a column has a non-default collation specified, an incorrect character set
77 id was being reported that could result in a 'division by zero' error when
78 used by IBX. This has now been fixed.
79
80 5. Move GetCharsetName, CharSetID2CodePage, CodePage2CharSetID, CharSetName2CharSetID,
81 CharSetWidth from IFirebirdAPI to IAttachment. This is a better data model as
82 the character sets supported can be updated on a per database basis. That is
83 it is possible to add a (Firebird) user defined character set to a database.
84
85 6. Add RegisterCharSet to IAttachment. This is used to register a user defined character
86 set supported by Firebird with the API.
87
88 7. Add missing isc_info_db_read_only to list of decoded Database Information items
89 in FBOutputBlock.pas and update test suite to include this item.
90
91 8. FB30Client: avoid always using "StartMultiple" when only a single database attachment.
92
93 9. Loading Windows fbclient.dll: when using the FIREBIRD variable to locate the client
94 library or finding it by disk location, the PATH environment variable is now also set to
95 include the FIREBIRD directory. This is to ensure that the correct dlls in the
96 firebird client library dependencies are loaded.
97
98 10. Testsuite: Ensure consistent UTF-8 output on Windows console.
99
100 11. Testsuite: Update Windows script to include FPC 3.0.4 in search path.
101
102 12. FB30Statement: Protect call to "Move" and avoid calling with a nil pointer
103
104 13. FB30Statement: A check has been added to ensure that all SQL Parameters
105 have been given a value (including NULL). Previously, failing to set the
106 value of an SQL Parameter could give rise to unpredictable results or
107 an SQLDA error.
108
109 14. FB30Statement/FB25Statement: Set SQLParam "modified" when string value set.
110
111 15. FBAttachment: Avoid string reference count error when processing an Ansistring
112 parameter in an array of const passed to IAttachment.OpenCursor, etc.
113
114 16. FBAttachment: Allow for WideString and UnicodeString parameters in an array
115 of const passed to IAttachment.OpenCursor, etc.
116

118 FBINTF Change Log version (1.0-2) Sat, 04 Mar 2017 14:43:56 +0000
119
120 1. Change syntax to Mode Delphi
121
122 2. Change all uses of string type to explicit AnsiString in order to ensure
123 compatibility between Delphi and FPC.
124
125 3. Various syntax changes to ensure Delphi and FPC compilation including GUIDs
126 defined for each interface.
127
128 4. Generics syntax variations for Delphi added
129
130 5. PChar replaced with PByte expect where an actual string is being referenced,
131 where PAnsiChar is used instead.
132
133 6. Review of type definitions in IBExternals to ensure Delphi compatibility
134
135 7. Testsuite updated for Delphi
136
137 FBINTF Change Log version (1.0-1) Fri, 24 Feb 2017 12:17:57 +0000
138
139 1. Limit maximum Blob segment read/write to MaxuShort. Avoids data loss with
140 large blobs and the FB3 API.
141
142 2. Update Event Handling algorithm to avoid looping due to recreation of the
143 event block.
144
145 3. Avoid invalid XSQLDA error when the only parameter is updated to null
146
147 4. Array Handling: fix problem with text arrays with character set none. When the
148 DB connection has a default character set (e.g. UTF8), an error is raised by
149 Firebird if the space allocated is not enough to allow for transliteration, even
150 though it is not required for character set none.
151
152 5. IBUtils: List of reserved words brought up-to-date
153
154 6. Add ISQL style performance statistics collection to IStatement
155
156 7. Add IFirebirdAPI.CreateDatabase variant to allow execution of user provided
157 CREATE DATABASE statement.
158
159 8. Update SQL Statement parsing to allow for Array Dimensions. That is so that the ':' in
160 an array dimension is not mistaken for a named parameter prefix.
161
162 9. Trim function no longer applied to result of GetAsString for SQL_TEXT
163 when Character set is octets. Avoids loss of non printable characters at start of string.
164
165 10. Add function GetPerfStatistics to IStatement. This returns ISQL like performance
166 statistics for the last action. Requires use of procedure IStatement.EnableStatistics
167 to enable stats gathering.
168
169 11. API Version information added as constants to IB.pas
170
171 12. BlobMetaData character set id should now be the same as that given by IColumnMetaData.GetCharSetID
172
173 13. Firebird Character set "NONE" now interpreted as codepage CP_ACP.
174
