FBINTF Change Log version (1.1-0) Thu, 26 Oct 2017 13:46:32 +0100 1. Fix issues with setting SQL Param values using SetAsString with Numeric types. Scale is no longer ignored. 2. Fix issues with setting SQL Param values using SetAsString with Date values not in locale format but which are recognised by Firebird. Date values that cannot be converted to a string using Pascal library are now passed through to Firebird as Text Strings. 3. Lookup character set name by codepage amended to ensure that CP_UTF8 returns UTF8 and not UNICODE_FSS. 4. Charset ID problem. When using Firebird 3, with no default database character set and a column has a non-default collation specified, an incorrect character set id was being reported that could result in a 'division by zero' error when used by IBX. This has now been fixed. 5. Move GetCharsetName, CharSetID2CodePage, CodePage2CharSetID, CharSetName2CharSetID, CharSetWidth from IFirebirdAPI to IAttachment. This is a better data model as the character sets supported can be updated on a per database basis. That is it is possible to add a (Firebird) user defined character set to a database. 6. Add RegisterCharSet to IAttachment. This is used to register a user defined character set supported by Firebird with the API. 7. Add missing isc_info_db_read_only to list of decoded Database Information items in FBOutputBlock.pas and update test suite to include this item. 8. FB30Client: avoid always using "StartMultiple" when only a single database attachment. 9. Loading Windows fbclient.dll: when using the FIREBIRD variable to locate the client library or finding it by disk location, the PATH environment variable is now also set to include the FIREBIRD directory. This is to ensure that the correct dlls in the firebird client library dependencies are loaded. 10. Testsuite: Ensure consistent UTF-8 output on Windows console. 11. Testsuite: Update Windows script to include FPC 3.0.4 in search path. 12. FB30Statement: Protect call to "Move" and avoid calling with a nil pointer 13. FB30Statement: A check has been added to ensure that all SQL Parameters have been given a value (including NULL). Previously, failing to set the value of an SQL Parameter could give rise to unpredictable results or an SQLDA error. 14. FB30Statement/FB25Statement: Set SQLParam "modified" when string value set. 15. FBAttachment: Avoid string reference count error when processing an Ansistring parameter in an array of const passed to IAttachment.OpenCursor, etc. 16. FBAttachment: Allow for WideString and UnicodeString parameters in an array of const passed to IAttachment.OpenCursor, etc. FBINTF Change Log version (1.0-2) Sat, 04 Mar 2017 14:43:56 +0000 1. Change syntax to Mode Delphi 2. Change all uses of string type to explicit AnsiString in order to ensure compatibility between Delphi and FPC. 3. Various syntax changes to ensure Delphi and FPC compilation including GUIDs defined for each interface. 4. Generics syntax variations for Delphi added 5. PChar replaced with PByte expect where an actual string is being referenced, where PAnsiChar is used instead. 6. Review of type definitions in IBExternals to ensure Delphi compatibility 7. Testsuite updated for Delphi FBINTF Change Log version (1.0-1) Fri, 24 Feb 2017 12:17:57 +0000 1. Limit maximum Blob segment read/write to MaxuShort. Avoids data loss with large blobs and the FB3 API. 2. Update Event Handling algorithm to avoid looping due to recreation of the event block. 3. Avoid invalid XSQLDA error when the only parameter is updated to null 4. Array Handling: fix problem with text arrays with character set none. When the DB connection has a default character set (e.g. UTF8), an error is raised by Firebird if the space allocated is not enough to allow for transliteration, even though it is not required for character set none. 5. IBUtils: List of reserved words brought up-to-date 6. Add ISQL style performance statistics collection to IStatement 7. Add IFirebirdAPI.CreateDatabase variant to allow execution of user provided CREATE DATABASE statement. 8. Update SQL Statement parsing to allow for Array Dimensions. That is so that the ':' in an array dimension is not mistaken for a named parameter prefix. 9. Trim function no longer applied to result of GetAsString for SQL_TEXT when Character set is octets. Avoids loss of non printable characters at start of string. 10. Add function GetPerfStatistics to IStatement. This returns ISQL like performance statistics for the last action. Requires use of procedure IStatement.EnableStatistics to enable stats gathering. 11. API Version information added as constants to IB.pas 12. BlobMetaData character set id should now be the same as that given by IColumnMetaData.GetCharSetID 13. Firebird Character set "NONE" now interpreted as codepage CP_ACP.
