1 FBINTF Change Log version (1.1-2) Wed, 14 Mar 2018 12:45:19 +0000
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.

29 FBINTF Change Log version (1.1-1) Tue, 27 Feb 2018 16:51:16 +0000
30
31 1. IBUtils.QuoteIdentifierIfNeeded: Add check for space character.
32
33 2. IAttachment: add two new methods
34 function HasDefaultCharSet: boolean;
35 function GetDefaultCharSetID: integer;
36
37 These return, respectively, true if a connection default character set was
38 specified and the character set id of the connection default character set.
39 The DefaultCharSetID is cached when the connection is opened and hence does not
40 require a database lookup.
41
42 3. Avoid exception when a text blob is a stored procedure parameter.
43
44 4. Update test suite to include a test for a stored proc returning a text blob.
45
46 5. IAttachment: add
47 function GetRemoteProtocol: AnsiString;
48 function GetODSMajorVersion: integer;
49 function GetODSMinorVersion: integer;
50 function GetAuthenticationMethod: AnsiString;
51
52 These results are cached when the connection is opened and hence do not
53 require a database lookup.
54
55 6. IAttachment: add "function GetConnectString: AnsiString;" This returns the
56 connect string used to create/connect to the database.
57
58 7. IAttachment: Create Database using SQL statement. The username and password
59 are now extracted and used to populate a DPB made available via IAttachment.getDPB.
60 It is now possible to use IAttachment disconnect/connect to reconnect to
61 a database for which the initial connection was established by a create
62 database sql statement. Available in FPC only.
63
64 8. Update Test 1 to test 5, 6 and 7 above.
65
66 9. IBUtils code tidy up.
67
68 10. Parameter Block interfaces "find" method. As documented, this should have
69 returned a nil interface when the item could not be found. Instead, an empty
70 interface item was returned. "Find" now works as documented and will return
71 a nil interface if the item cannot be found.
72
73 11. DBInformation: support added for isc_info_active_tran_count and isc_info_creation_date.
74
75 12. DBInformation: New interfaces: IDIRB and IDIRBItem added to support DB Information
76 requests with additional parameters. This is to enable support for fb_info_page_contents
77 (return of page contents). Response to fb_info_page_contents returned as
78 a string with code page CP_NONE.
79
80 13. DBInformation: Support for fb_info_pages_used and fb_info_pages_free added, plus
81 test suite updated.
82
83 14. DBInformation: Support for fb_info_crypt_key (Firebird 3.0.3 onwards) added as
84 a string type, and fb_info_conn_flags (Firebird 3.0.3 onwards) added as an integer type.
85
86 15. Service Manager: List of protocols supported expanded to include inet, wnet and xnet.
87 An overloaded version of IIFirebirdAPI.GetServiceManager also allows a non
88 default connection port to be specified.
89
90 FBINTF Change Log version (1.1-0) Sun, 07 Jan 2018 15:20:02 +0000
91
92 1. Fix issues with setting SQL Param values using SetAsString with Numeric types.
93 Scale is no longer ignored.
94
95 2. Fix issues with setting SQL Param values using SetAsString with Date values
96 not in locale format but which are recognised by Firebird. Date values that
97 cannot be converted to a string using Pascal library are now passed through
98 to Firebird as Text Strings.
99
100 3. Lookup character set name by codepage amended to ensure that CP_UTF8 returns
101 UTF8 and not UNICODE_FSS.
102
103 4. Charset ID problem. When using Firebird 3, with no default database character set
104 and a column has a non-default collation specified, an incorrect character set
105 id was being reported that could result in a 'division by zero' error when
106 used by IBX. This has now been fixed.
107
108 5. Move GetCharsetName, CharSetID2CodePage, CodePage2CharSetID, CharSetName2CharSetID,
109 CharSetWidth from IFirebirdAPI to IAttachment. This is a better data model as
110 the character sets supported can be updated on a per database basis. That is
111 it is possible to add a (Firebird) user defined character set to a database.
112
113 6. Add RegisterCharSet to IAttachment. This is used to register a user defined character
114 set supported by Firebird with the API.
115
116 7. Add missing isc_info_db_read_only to list of decoded Database Information items
117 in FBOutputBlock.pas and update test suite to include this item.
118
119 8. FB30Client: avoid always using "StartMultiple" when only a single database attachment.
120
121 9. Loading Windows fbclient.dll: when using the FIREBIRD variable to locate the client
122 library or finding it by disk location, the PATH environment variable is now also set to
123 include the FIREBIRD directory. This is to ensure that the correct dlls in the
124 firebird client library dependencies are loaded.
125
126 10. Testsuite: Ensure consistent UTF-8 output on Windows console.
127
128 11. Testsuite: Update Windows script to include FPC 3.0.4 in search path.
129
130 12. FB30Statement: Protect call to "Move" and avoid calling with a nil pointer
131
132 13. FB30Statement: A check has been added to ensure that all SQL Parameters
133 have been given a value (including NULL). Previously, failing to set the
134 value of an SQL Parameter could give rise to unpredictable results or
135 an SQLDA error.
136
137 14. FB30Statement/FB25Statement: Set SQLParam "modified" when string value set.
138
139 15. FBAttachment: Avoid string reference count error when processing an Ansistring
140 parameter in an array of const passed to IAttachment.OpenCursor, etc.
141
142 16. FBAttachment: Allow for WideString and UnicodeString parameters in an array
143 of const passed to IAttachment.OpenCursor, etc.
144

146 FBINTF Change Log version (1.0-2) Sat, 04 Mar 2017 14:43:56 +0000
147
148 1. Change syntax to Mode Delphi
149
150 2. Change all uses of string type to explicit AnsiString in order to ensure
151 compatibility between Delphi and FPC.
152
153 3. Various syntax changes to ensure Delphi and FPC compilation including GUIDs
154 defined for each interface.
155
156 4. Generics syntax variations for Delphi added
157
158 5. PChar replaced with PByte expect where an actual string is being referenced,
159 where PAnsiChar is used instead.
160
161 6. Review of type definitions in IBExternals to ensure Delphi compatibility
162
163 7. Testsuite updated for Delphi
164
165 FBINTF Change Log version (1.0-1) Fri, 24 Feb 2017 12:17:57 +0000
166
167 1. Limit maximum Blob segment read/write to MaxuShort. Avoids data loss with
168 large blobs and the FB3 API.
169
170 2. Update Event Handling algorithm to avoid looping due to recreation of the
171 event block.
172
173 3. Avoid invalid XSQLDA error when the only parameter is updated to null
174
175 4. Array Handling: fix problem with text arrays with character set none. When the
176 DB connection has a default character set (e.g. UTF8), an error is raised by
177 Firebird if the space allocated is not enough to allow for transliteration, even
178 though it is not required for character set none.
179
180 5. IBUtils: List of reserved words brought up-to-date
181
182 6. Add ISQL style performance statistics collection to IStatement
183
184 7. Add IFirebirdAPI.CreateDatabase variant to allow execution of user provided
185 CREATE DATABASE statement.
186
187 8. Update SQL Statement parsing to allow for Array Dimensions. That is so that the ':' in
188 an array dimension is not mistaken for a named parameter prefix.
189
190 9. Trim function no longer applied to result of GetAsString for SQL_TEXT
191 when Character set is octets. Avoids loss of non printable characters at start of string.
192
193 10. Add function GetPerfStatistics to IStatement. This returns ISQL like performance
194 statistics for the last action. Requires use of procedure IStatement.EnableStatistics
195 to enable stats gathering.
196
197 11. API Version information added as constants to IB.pas
198
199 12. BlobMetaData character set id should now be the same as that given by IColumnMetaData.GetCharSetID
200
201 13. Firebird Character set "NONE" now interpreted as codepage CP_ACP.
202
