FBINTF Change Log version (1.3-3 Build 12935) Mon, 06 Dec 2021 23:17:13 +0000 |
48 |
|
|
|
49 |
|
|
1. Fix compile error with fpc trunk (3.3.1 and later), due to type change to tzname in "unix" unit. |
50 |
|
|
|
51 |
|
|
2. Remove constraint in IAttachment.HasScollableCursors that returned false when |
52 |
|
|
using remote protocol. Scrollable cursors with remote database expected to |
53 |
|
|
be support for Firebird 4.0.1 onwards. Note: Firebird 4.0.0 will return |
54 |
|
|
a not supported error. |
55 |
|
|
|
56 |
|
|
3. IStatement: new function; |
57 |
|
|
TStatementFlag = (stHasCursor,stRepeatExecute,stScrollable); |
58 |
|
|
TStatementFlags = set of TStatementFlag; |
59 |
|
|
function GetFlags: TStatementFlags; |
60 |
|
|
|
61 |
|
|
4. Revised behaviour for IStatement.ExecuteQuery in order to preserve backwards |
62 |
|
|
compatibility. |
63 |
|
|
In Firebird 5, Update..Returning may returns multiple rows and hence the statemen |
64 |
|
|
type changes from ExecProcedure to Select. So that ExecuteQuery can continue |
65 |
|
|
to be used with Update...Retruning statements that return a singleton row, |
66 |
|
|
instead of raising an exception when ExecuteQuery is used with a (SELECT) statement, |
67 |
|
|
it will open the cursor and return the first row only. |
68 |
|
|
|
69 |
|
|
5. ITransaction: new functions: |
70 |
|
|
function GetIsReadOnly: boolean; |
71 |
|
|
function GetTransactionID: integer; |
72 |
|
|
function GetTrInformation(Requests: array of byte): ITrInformation; overload; |
73 |
|
|
function GetTrInformation(Request: byte): ITrInformation; overload; |
74 |
|
|
|
75 |
|
|
The latter two return the Transaction Information block. The first two extract |
76 |
|
|
information the Transaction Information block |
77 |
|
|
|
78 |
|
|
6. New function TSQLTokeniser.ReadCharacters |
79 |
|
|
Used internally. |
80 |
|
|
|
81 |
|
|
7. IStatement: GetProcessedSQL bug fix. No longer raises and error if SQL contains |
82 |
|
|
parameter placeholders instead of named parameters. |
83 |
|
|
|
84 |
|
|
8. ITransaction (Firebird 3 and later): An exception raised when freeing an underlying |
85 |
|
|
transaction handle is now ignored if Rollback/Commit is called with Force=true |
86 |
|
|
|

FBINTF Change Log version (1.3-2 Build 12889) Sun, 24 Oct 2021 13:49:28 +0100 |
88 |
tony |
347 |
|
89 |
|
|
1. TFBClientAPI.GetProcAddr. Add check for nil reference. |
90 |
|
|
|
91 |
|
|
2. IStatement: new methods: |
92 |
|
|
procedure SetStaleReferenceChecks(Enable:boolean); {default true} |
93 |
|
|
function GetStaleReferenceChecks: boolean; |
94 |
|
|
|
95 |
|
|
In previous versions, stale reference checks were always enabled. This allows the |
96 |
|
|
user to disable them on a per statement basis. Note this can risk out-of-date |
97 |
|
|
statement BLR. See User Guide. |
98 |
|
|
|
99 |
tony |
348 |
3. IBUtils: TSQLwithNamedParamsTokeniser now recognises a CASE...END block within a |
100 |
|
|
stored procedure and hence avoids replacing named parameters within a containing |
101 |
|
|
BEGIN..END block. |
102 |
|
|
|
103 |
tony |
349 |
4. ISQLParam: using a string value to set an integer field with a scale factor of |
104 |
|
|
zero is now treated as a special case to avoid the risk of floating point |
105 |
|
|
rounding errors affecting pure integers. |
106 |
|
|
|
107 |
|
|
5. ISQLParam: Review and tidy-up of SetAsString for numeric types. |
108 |
|
|
|
109 |
|
|
6. ISQLParam is now subclassed from IParamMetaData, which provides access to the mutable |
110 |
|
|
SQL Parameter metadata (methods moved from ISQLParam). |
111 |
|
|
|
112 |
|
|
7. ISQLParam: new method |
113 |
|
|
function getColMetadata: IParamMetaData; |
114 |
|
|
This instance of IParamMetaData returns the original column metadata which is unmutable. |
115 |
|
|
Note: ISQLParam metadata can change after a parameter value has been set e.g when |
116 |
|
|
setting a VARCHAR column to an integer value. |
117 |
|
|
|
118 |
tony |
350 |
8. IStatement: can now set cursor name when opening a cursor. New overloaded method: |
119 |
|
|
procedure Prepare(CursorName: AnsiString; aTransaction: ITransaction=nil); overload; |
120 |
|
|
also IAttachment: |
121 |
|
|
function Prepare(transaction: ITransaction; sql: AnsiString; aSQLDialect: integer; CursorName: AnsiString=''): IStatement; overload; |
122 |
|
|
function Prepare(transaction: ITransaction; sql: AnsiString; CursorName: AnsiString=''): IStatement; overload; |
123 |
|
|
function PrepareWithNamedParameters(transaction: ITransaction; sql: AnsiString; |
124 |
|
|
aSQLDialect: integer; GenerateParamNames: boolean=false; |
125 |
|
|
CaseSensitiveParams: boolean = false; CursorName: AnsiString=''): IStatement; overload; |
126 |
|
|
function PrepareWithNamedParameters(transaction: ITransaction; sql: AnsiString; |
127 |
|
|
GenerateParamNames: boolean=false; |
128 |
|
|
CaseSensitiveParams: boolean = false; CursorName: AnsiString=''): IStatement; overload; |
129 |
tony |
349 |
|
130 |
tony |
350 |
9. Support for scrollable cursors added. New/updated methods: |
131 |
|
|
IAttachment: |
132 |
tony |
352 |
function HasScollableCursors: boolean; |
133 |
tony |
350 |
function OpenCursor(transaction: ITransaction; sql: AnsiString; aSQLDialect: integer; |
134 |
|
|
Scrollable: boolean=false): IResultSet; overload; |
135 |
|
|
function OpenCursor(transaction: ITransaction; sql: AnsiString; Scrollable: boolean=false): IResultSet; overload; |
136 |
|
|
function OpenCursor(transaction: ITransaction; sql: AnsiString; aSQLDialect: integer; Scrollable: boolean; |
137 |
|
|
params: array of const): IResultSet; overload; |
138 |
|
|
function OpenCursor(transaction: ITransaction; sql: AnsiString; Scrollable: boolean=false; |
139 |
|
|
params: array of const): IResultSet; overload; |
140 |
|
|
function OpenCursorAtStart(transaction: ITransaction; sql: AnsiString; aSQLDialect: integer; Scrollable: boolean; |
141 |
|
|
params: array of const): IResultSet; overload; |
142 |
|
|
function OpenCursorAtStart(transaction: ITransaction; sql: AnsiString; aSQLDialect: integer; |
143 |
|
|
Scrollable: boolean=false): IResultSet; overload; |
144 |
|
|
function OpenCursorAtStart(transaction: ITransaction; sql: AnsiString; Scrollable: boolean=false): IResultSet; overload; |
145 |
|
|
function OpenCursorAtStart(transaction: ITransaction; sql: AnsiString; Scrollable: boolean; |
146 |
|
|
params: array of const): IResultSet; overload; |
147 |
|
|
function OpenCursorAtStart(sql: AnsiString; Scrollable: boolean=false): IResultSet; overload; |
148 |
|
|
function OpenCursorAtStart(sql: AnsiString; Scrollable: boolean; |
149 |
|
|
params: array of const): IResultSet; overload; |
150 |
|
|
IStatement: |
151 |
|
|
function OpenCursor(Scrollable: boolean; CursorName: AnsiString =''; aTransaction: ITransaction=nil): IResultSet; overload; |
152 |
|
|
IResultSet: |
153 |
|
|
function FetchPrior: boolean; {fetch previous record} |
154 |
|
|
function FetchFirst:boolean; {fetch first record} |
155 |
|
|
function FetchLast: boolean; {fetch last record} |
156 |
|
|
function FetchAbsolute(position: Integer): boolean; {fetch record by its absolute position in result set} |
157 |
|
|
function FetchRelative(offset: Integer): boolean; {fetch record by position relative to current} |
158 |
|
|
function IsBof: boolean; |
159 |
|
|
|
160 |
tony |
353 |
10. IArray: tidyup of SetAsString method to ensure correct handling of fixed point numbers. |
161 |
tony |
350 |
|
162 |
tony |
353 |
11. IBUtils: TSQLTokeniser. CRLF now combined by low level parser into sqltEOL token. This |
163 |
|
|
may be noticeable when a line separator occurs inside quoted text. The quoted text |
164 |
|
|
output by the tokeniser will now use the platform specific lineEnding regardless |
165 |
|
|
of whether the input uses the CRLF or LF as a line separator. |
166 |
tony |
350 |
|
167 |
tony |
353 |
12. IStatement, IResultsSet: Support for scrollable cursors added (note: local databases only) |
168 |
|
|
|

FBINTF Change Log version (1.3-1 Build 12776) Mon, 23 Aug 2021 11:09:33 +0100 |
171 |
|
|
|
172 |
|
|
1. Integer decodes in information blocks (e.g. IDBInfoItem) widened from 32 bit to 64-bit integers. |
173 |
|
|
|
174 |
|
|
2. Support for inline blob encoding. Blob values pass using the "SetAsString" method |
175 |
|
|
will now be encoded inline (i.e. as part of the parameter buffer) if they are |
176 |
|
|
shorter than a pre-set limit. Longer values continue to be saved as blobs as a |
177 |
|
|
separate server interaction. This is intended as a performance optimisation. |
178 |
|
|
|
179 |
|
|
The pre-set limit defaults to 8192 bytes and can be inspected/modified using the new |
180 |
|
|
IAttachment interface functions: |
181 |
|
|
|
182 |
|
|
function GetInlineBlobLimit: integer; |
183 |
|
|
procedure SetInlineBlobLimit(limit: integer); |
184 |
|
|
|
185 |
|
|
3. Support for Firebird 4 IBatch interface added. This is largely transparent to the API |
186 |
|
|
user as the functionality is embedded in the implementation of the IStatement |
187 |
|
|
interface. Three new functions are defined: |
188 |
|
|
|
189 |
|
|
procedure AddToBatch; |
190 |
|
|
function ExecuteBatch(aTransaction: ITransaction=nil): IBatchCompletion; |
191 |
|
|
procedure CancelBatch; |
192 |
|
|
function GetBatchCompletion: IBatchCompletion; |
193 |
|
|
function GetBatchRowLimit: integer; |
194 |
|
|
procedure SetBatchRowLimit(aLimit: integer); |
195 |
|
|
|
196 |
|
|
Also |
197 |
|
|
|
198 |
|
|
function IsInBatchMode: boolean; {true after call to execute(eaDefer)} |
199 |
|
|
function HasBatchMode: boolean; {true if and only if IBatch Supported} |
200 |
|
|
|
201 |
|
|
For more information see the User Guide. |
202 |
|
|
|
203 |
|
|
4. Default error message contents. Now aligned with User Guide section 10.2 i.e. error messages |
204 |
|
|
provided with the EIBInterBaseError now include all three parts. |
205 |
|
|
|
206 |
|
|
5. Firebird.pas and include files updated to Firebird 4.0.0 |
207 |
|
|
|
208 |
|
|
6. New IStatement method: function GetSQLStatementTypeName: AnsiString; |
209 |
|
|
Returns SQL Statement type as a text string; |
210 |
|
|
|
211 |
|
|
7. ISQLData.AsInteger and AsInt64 now use "Round" to convert a float field to |
212 |
|
|
an integer instead of "trunc". This is for compatibility with TFloatField.AsInteger. |
213 |

215 |
tony |
338 |
|
216 |
|
|
1. Big fix for Firebird 4.0. A internal change in Firebird 4.0.0 from RC1 flushed out a |
217 |
|
|
typo in FB30Statement.pas that caused an unknown parameter error. |
218 |

308 |
|
221 |
tony |
315 |
1. Imported (Firebird) constants updated for Firebird 4. |
222 |
|
|
|
223 |
|
|
2. Firebird.pas from Firebird 4 integrated into source code tree. |
224 |
|
|
|
225 |
|
|
3. Added Support for TIMETAMP WITH TIME ZONE and TIME WITH TIME ZONE data types. |
226 |
|
|
|
227 |
|
|
4. Added Support for SQL_DEC16, SQL_DEC34 and extended NUMERIC precision. |
228 |
|
|
|
229 |
|
|
5. New unit 'FBClientLib.pas' added and provides new interface IFBIMasterProvider. |
230 |
|
|
QueryInterface may be used to coerce this interface from IFirebirdAPI. The |
231 |
|
|
interface provides a single method "function GetIMasterIntf: IMaster". This provides |
232 |
|
|
type safe access to the Firebird IMaster interface and avoids the need to turn |
233 |
|
|
off object checks when coercing "function GetIMaster: TObject" to IMaster. |
234 |
|
|
|
235 |
|
|
6. New IFirebirdAPI Calls: |
236 |
|
|
function HasLocalTZDB: boolean; |
237 |
|
|
function HasTimeZoneSupport: boolean; |
238 |
|
|
function HasExtendedTZSupport: boolean; |
239 |
|
|
procedure SQLDecFloatEncode(aValue: tBCD; SQLType: cardinal; bufptr: PByte); |
240 |
|
|
function SQLDecFloatDecode(SQLType: cardinal; scale: integer; bufptr: PByte): tBCD; |
241 |
|
|
|
242 |
|

procedure SetAsTime(index: array of integer; aValue: TDateTime; OnDate: TDateTime; aTimeZone: AnsiString); overload; |
283 |
|
|
|
284 |
|
|
12. Utility functions in IBUtils |
285 |
|
|
function ParseDateTimeTZString(aDateTimeStr: Ansistring; var aDateTime: TDateTime; |
286 |
|
|
var aTimezone: AnsiString; aFormatSettings: TFormatSettings; TimeOnly: boolean=false): boolean; |
287 |
|
|
procedure FBDecodeTime(aTime: TDateTime; var Hour, Minute, Second: word; var DeciMillisecond: cardinal); |
288 |
|
|
function FBEncodeTime(Hour, Minute, Second, DeciMillisecond: cardinal): TDateTime; |
289 |
|
|
function FBFormatDateTime(fmt: AnsiString; aDateTime: TDateTime): AnsiString; |
290 |
|
|
function FormatTimeZoneOffset(EffectiveTimeOffsetMins: integer): AnsiString; |
291 |
|
|
function DecodeTimeZoneOffset(TZOffset: AnsiString; var dstOffset: integer): boolean; |
292 |
|
|
|
293 |
|
|
13. IDPB, ITPB and ISPB: new interface method |
294 |
|
|
function AddByTypeName(ParamTypeName: AnsiString): IDPBItem/ITPBItem/ISPBItem; |
295 |
|
|
This is used to add a parameter block item by the string equivalent of its |
296 |
|
|
symbolic type name. e.g. DPB.AddByTypeName('isc_dpb_user_name').AsString := '...' |
297 |
|
|
|
298 |
|
|
14. IDPBItem/ITPBItem/ISPBItem: new interface method: |
299 |
|
|
function getParamTypeName: AnsiString; |
300 |
|
|
|
301 |
|
|
15. fb_shutdown now called before unloading Firebird library. This can avoid a |
302 |
|
|
SIGEVENT error when a programme using the embeded server is unloaded. |

308 |
1. GetImplementationVersion now correctly returns '3.0' for Firebird 3 API |
307 |
|
|
with a Firebrid 3 client library. |
308 |
|
|
|
309 |
|
|
2. Linux Only: FIREBIRD environment variable is now checked when loading the client library. |
310 |
|
|
If a client library path is not explicitly provided and the FIREBIRD environment |
311 |
|
|
variable is set then the directory given by this variable and any 'lib' subdirectory |
312 |
|
|
are searched for the Firebird client library. Only if none is found, is the default |
313 |
|
|
client library used. |
314 |
|
|
|
315 |
|
|
3. IUtil.FormatStatus now used to format error messages when using new API |
316 |
|
|
|
317 |
|
|
4. Fixed Array SDL: array_desc_scale now correctly encoded as a signed integer. |
318 |
|
|
|
319 |
|
|
5. SQL_TEXT handling changed. When the value of an SQL_TEXT (i.e. fixed width string) column is |
320 |
|
|
returned using GetAsString and the string codepage is UTF8, the string is truncated so |
321 |
|
|
that the byte length corresponds to the number of characters specified for the column. |
322 |
|
|
SQL_TEXT strings are no longer automatically trimmed to remove all trailing white space. This is |
323 |
|
|
correct behaviour but may affect some implementations that relied upon automatic |
324 |
|
|
trimming of trailing white space. |
325 |
|
|
|
326 |
|
|
6. New IFirebirdAPI Calls: |
327 |
|
|
function GetClientMajor: integer; |
328 |
|
|
function GetClientMinor: integer; |
329 |
|
|
|
330 |
tony |
309 |
7. IColumnMetaData and IArrayMetaData: new method |
331 |
|
|
function GetCharSetWidth: integer; |

1. ISQLParams.GetHasCaseSensitiveParams added. Returns true if param names are |
336 |
|
|
case sensitive |
337 |
|
|
|
338 |
|
|
2. Single line SQL comments starting with '--' are now recognised by SQL Parser. |
339 |
|
|
|
340 |
tony |
291 |
3. New API Calls: |
341 |
|
|
IColumnMetaData.GetStatement |
342 |
|
|
IColumnMetaData.GetTransaction |
343 |
tony |
315 |
ISQLData.GetStrDataLength |
344 |
tony |
291 |
IResults.GetStatement |
345 |
|
|
IAttachment.OpenBlob (using Blob metadata) |
346 |
|
|
IAttachment.OpenArray (using array metadata) |
347 |
|
|
|
348 |
|
|
4. FBMessages: removal of unused messages |
349 |
|
|
|
350 |
|
|
5. TFBArray.Create (2nd case): ensure that FFirebirdClientAPI is correctly set. |
351 |
|
|
|
352 |
|
|
6. TIBSQLStatementType: SQLSavePoint added to end of enumeration. |

|
356 |
|
|
1. Fix a problem with the SQL parameter parser that failed to recognise parameters |
357 |
|
|
where the second character of the parameter name is a numeric. |
358 |
|
|
|
359 |
tony |
266 |
2. New method for IAttachment: procedure getFBVersion(version: TStrings); |
360 |
|
|
This returns the isc_version connection information as one or more lines. |
361 |
|
|
This is the same information as returned by isql with the -z option. |
362 |
tony |
265 |
|
363 |
tony |
270 |
3. If -dFIREBIRD3APIONLY is used as a compiler option then the legacy Firebird API |
364 |
|
|
is no longer compiled in. Likewise, if -dLEGACYFIREBIRDAPIONLY is used as a |
365 |
|
|
compiler option then the Firebird 3 API is no longer compiled in. |
366 |
tony |
266 |
|
367 |
tony |
270 |
4. IColumnMetaData: new method. |
368 |
|
|
|
369 |
|
|
TIBDateTimeFormats = (dfTimestamp, {SQL TIMESTAMP} |
370 |
|
|
dfDateTime, {SQL DATETIME} |
371 |
|
|
dfTime); |
372 |
|
|
|
373 |
|
|
function GetDateTimeStrLength(DateTimeFormat: TIBDateTimeFormats): integer; |
374 |
|
|
|
375 |
|
|
This returns the max. number of characters returned by the "AsString" method |
376 |
|
|
when the SQL type of the column is respectively TIMESTAMP, DATETIME or TIME. |
377 |
|
|
|
378 |
|
|
5. Additional argument for IAttachment.PrepareWithNamedParameters - |
379 |
|
|
CaseSensitiveParams: boolean = false |
380 |
|
|
|
381 |
|
|
If this argument is set to true then SQL parameter names are assumed to be case |
382 |
|
|
sensitive and must be referenced (using ISQLParams.ByName) using the case |
383 |
|
|
sensitive name. |
384 |
|
|
|
385 |
|
|
6. Bug fix: when setting a query parameter, it is now possible, when the parameter |
386 |
|
|
is of type VarChar or Char to set the parameter to a numeric value (e.g. using |
387 |
|
|
.AsCurrency) and then subsequently to update the value to a non-numeric string |
388 |
|
|
using .AsString. |

238 |
|
394 |
|
|
1. DARWIN only syntax error: fix missing semi-colon in TFBClientAPI.LoadIBLibrary |
395 |
|
|
|
396 |
tony |
263 |
2. Restrict IsMultiThread check to Unix only for compatibility with |
397 |
|
|
https://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=30535 |
398 |
|
|
|
399 |
|
|
3. New SQL Tokeniser added to IBUtils. This is used to pre-process SQL with |
400 |
|
|
named parameters and is intended to avoid problems with (e.g.) Execute Block |
401 |
|
|
and processing internal parameters as statement parameters. |
402 |
|
|
|
403 |
|
|
4. New interface IFirebirdLibrary provides access to the underlying firebird DLL |
404 |
|
|
or shared object. Available via a new member (GetFBLibrary) of IFirebirdAPI. |
405 |
|
|
|
406 |
|
|
5. New function added to IB.pas |
407 |
|
|
|
408 |
|
|
function LoadFBLibrary(aLibPathName: string): IFirebirdLibrary |
409 |
|
|
|
410 |
|
|
This allows a Firebird Library to be loaded from an explicit path. use the |
411 |
|
|
IFirebirdLibrary.GetFirebirdAPI member function to get the Firebird API using |
412 |
|
|
the library. It is possible to load Firebird libraries from different locations |
413 |
|
|
simultaneously, each with a distinct IFirebirdAPI. |

417 |
tony |
209 |
1. Firebird.pas: {$OBJECTCHECKS OFF} added to file to avoid runtime error when |
418 |
|
|
program compiled with -CR command line switch. |
419 |
|
|
|
420 |
|
|
2. IServiceManager additions (informational): |
421 |
|
|
function getProtocol: TProtocol; |
422 |
|
|
function getPortNo: AnsiString; |
423 |
|
|
|
424 |
|
|
3. IServiceManager improved error handling. Interfaces changed: |
425 |
|
|
function Start(Request: ISRB; RaiseExceptionOnError: boolean=true): boolean; |
426 |
|
|
function Query(SQPB: ISQPB; Request: ISRB; RaiseExceptionOnError: boolean=true) :IServiceQueryResults; overload; |
427 |
|
|
function Query(Request: ISRB; RaiseExceptionOnError: boolean=true) :IServiceQueryResults; overload; |
428 |
|
|
|
429 |
|
|
4. IAttachment addition (informational) |
430 |
|
|
function GetSecurityDatabase: AnsiString; |
431 |
|
|
|
432 |
|
|
5. IStatement: performance counters now updated after each Fetch. GetPerfStatistics |
433 |
|
|
thus now returns accumulated stats for a select statement from opening a cursor |
434 |
|
|
up to the last fetch. |
435 |
|
|
|
436 |
|
|
6. DARWIN: uloadlibrary.inc bug fix. Many thanks to Luigi Naimi for correcting |
437 |
|
|
the problem. |
438 |
|
|
|
439 |
|
|
7. Type change: "TPerfCounters = array[TPerfStats] of Int64". Note "Int64" |
440 |
|
|
replaces deprecated "comp" type. |
441 |
|
|
|
442 |
tony |
217 |
10. Testsuite Test10 updated to include thread synchronisation for event reporting. |
443 |
tony |
209 |
|
444 |
tony |
231 |
11. URL Connection Strings: inet4 and inet6 now recognised. |
445 |
tony |
217 |
|
446 |
tony |
231 |
12. IBUtils: Parse and Make Connect String now recognise URL style loopback syntax. |
447 |
|
|
|
448 |
tony |
233 |
13. IAttachment.CharSetName2CharSetID is now performed case insensitive. |

453 |
tony |
107 |
1. IBUtils.QuoteIdentifierIfNeeded: Add check for space character. |
454 |
|
|
|
455 |
tony |
109 |
2. IAttachment: add two new methods |
456 |
|
|
function HasDefaultCharSet: boolean; |
457 |
|
|
function GetDefaultCharSetID: integer; |
458 |
|
|
|
459 |
|
|
These return, respectively, true if a connection default character set was |
460 |
tony |
117 |
specified and the character set id of the connection default character set. |
461 |
|
|
The DefaultCharSetID is cached when the connection is opened and hence does not |
462 |
|
|
require a database lookup. |
463 |
tony |
109 |
|
464 |
tony |
110 |
3. Avoid exception when a text blob is a stored procedure parameter. |
465 |
tony |
109 |
|
466 |
tony |
111 |
4. Update test suite to include a test for a stored proc returning a text blob. |
467 |
|
|
|
468 |
tony |
117 |
5. IAttachment: add |
469 |
|
|
function GetRemoteProtocol: AnsiString; |
470 |
|
|
function GetODSMajorVersion: integer; |
471 |
|
|
function GetODSMinorVersion: integer; |
472 |
tony |
143 |
function GetAuthenticationMethod: AnsiString; |
473 |
tony |
117 |
|
474 |
|
|
These results are cached when the connection is opened and hence do not |
475 |
|
|
require a database lookup. |
476 |
|
|
|
477 |
|
|
6. IAttachment: add "function GetConnectString: AnsiString;" This returns the |
478 |
|
|
connect string used to create/connect to the database. |
479 |
|
|
|
480 |
|
|
7. IAttachment: Create Database using SQL statement. The username and password |
481 |
|
|
are now extracted and used to populate a DPB made available via IAttachment.getDPB. |
482 |
|
|
It is now possible to use IAttachment disconnect/connect to reconnect to |
483 |
|
|
a database for which the initial connection was established by a create |
484 |
tony |
120 |
database sql statement. Available in FPC only. |
485 |
tony |
117 |
|
486 |
|
|
8. Update Test 1 to test 5, 6 and 7 above. |
487 |
|
|
|
488 |
|
|
9. IBUtils code tidy up. |
489 |
|
|
|
490 |
tony |
143 |
10. Parameter Block interfaces "find" method. As documented, this should have |
491 |
|
|
returned a nil interface when the item could not be found. Instead, an empty |
492 |
|
|
interface item was returned. "Find" now works as documented and will return |
493 |
|
|
a nil interface if the item cannot be found. |
494 |
|
|
|
495 |
|
|
11. DBInformation: support added for isc_info_active_tran_count and isc_info_creation_date. |
496 |
|
|
|
497 |
|
|
12. DBInformation: New interfaces: IDIRB and IDIRBItem added to support DB Information |
498 |
|
|
requests with additional parameters. This is to enable support for fb_info_page_contents |
499 |
|
|
(return of page contents). Response to fb_info_page_contents returned as |
500 |
|
|
a string with code page CP_NONE. |
501 |
|
|
|
502 |
|
|
13. DBInformation: Support for fb_info_pages_used and fb_info_pages_free added, plus |
503 |
|
|
test suite updated. |
504 |
|
|
|
505 |
|
|
14. DBInformation: Support for fb_info_crypt_key (Firebird 3.0.3 onwards) added as |
506 |
|
|
a string type, and fb_info_conn_flags (Firebird 3.0.3 onwards) added as an integer type. |
507 |
|
|
|
508 |
|
|
15. Service Manager: List of protocols supported expanded to include inet, wnet and xnet. |
509 |
|
|
An overloaded version of IIFirebirdAPI.GetServiceManager also allows a non |
510 |
|
|
default connection port to be specified. |

59 |
1. Fix issues with setting SQL Param values using SetAsString with Numeric types. |
515 |
|
|
Scale is no longer ignored. |
516 |
|
|
|
517 |
|
|
2. Fix issues with setting SQL Param values using SetAsString with Date values |
518 |
|
|
not in locale format but which are recognised by Firebird. Date values that |
519 |
|
|
cannot be converted to a string using Pascal library are now passed through |
520 |
|
|
to Firebird as Text Strings. |
521 |
|
|
|
522 |
tony |
60 |
3. Lookup character set name by codepage amended to ensure that CP_UTF8 returns |
523 |
|
|
UTF8 and not UNICODE_FSS. |
524 |
|
|
|
525 |
|
|
4. Charset ID problem. When using Firebird 3, with no default database character set |
526 |
|
|
and a column has a non-default collation specified, an incorrect character set |
527 |
|
|
id was being reported that could result in a 'division by zero' error when |
528 |
|
|
used by IBX. This has now been fixed. |
529 |
|
|
|
530 |
|
|
5. Move GetCharsetName, CharSetID2CodePage, CodePage2CharSetID, CharSetName2CharSetID, |
531 |
|
|
CharSetWidth from IFirebirdAPI to IAttachment. This is a better data model as |
532 |
|
|
the character sets supported can be updated on a per database basis. That is |
533 |
|
|
it is possible to add a (Firebird) user defined character set to a database. |
534 |
|
|
|
535 |
|
|
6. Add RegisterCharSet to IAttachment. This is used to register a user defined character |
536 |
|
|
set supported by Firebird with the API. |
537 |
|
|
|
538 |
tony |
61 |
7. Add missing isc_info_db_read_only to list of decoded Database Information items |
539 |
|
|
in FBOutputBlock.pas and update test suite to include this item. |
540 |
tony |
60 |
|
541 |
tony |
63 |
8. FB30Client: avoid always using "StartMultiple" when only a single database attachment. |
542 |
tony |
61 |
|
543 |
tony |
68 |
9. Loading Windows fbclient.dll: when using the FIREBIRD variable to locate the client |
544 |
|
|
library or finding it by disk location, the PATH environment variable is now also set to |
545 |
|
|
include the FIREBIRD directory. This is to ensure that the correct dlls in the |
546 |
|
|
firebird client library dependencies are loaded. |
547 |
tony |
63 |
|
548 |
tony |
68 |
10. Testsuite: Ensure consistent UTF-8 output on Windows console. |
549 |
|
|
|
550 |
|
|
11. Testsuite: Update Windows script to include FPC 3.0.4 in search path. |
551 |
|
|
|
552 |
|
|
12. FB30Statement: Protect call to "Move" and avoid calling with a nil pointer |
553 |
|
|
|
554 |
|
|
13. FB30Statement: A check has been added to ensure that all SQL Parameters |
555 |
|
|
have been given a value (including NULL). Previously, failing to set the |
556 |
|
|
value of an SQL Parameter could give rise to unpredictable results or |
557 |
|
|
an SQLDA error. |
558 |
|
|
|
559 |
|
|
14. FB30Statement/FB25Statement: Set SQLParam "modified" when string value set. |
560 |
|
|
|
561 |
tony |
70 |
15. FBAttachment: Avoid string reference count error when processing an Ansistring |
562 |
|
|
parameter in an array of const passed to IAttachment.OpenCursor, etc. |
563 |
tony |
68 |
|
564 |
tony |
70 |
16. FBAttachment: Allow for WideString and UnicodeString parameters in an array |
565 |
|
|
of const passed to IAttachment.OpenCursor, etc. |

1. Change syntax to Mode Delphi |
571 |
|
|
|
572 |
|
|
2. Change all uses of string type to explicit AnsiString in order to ensure |
573 |

1. Limit maximum Blob segment read/write to MaxuShort. Avoids data loss with |
590 |
|
|
large blobs and the FB3 API. |
591 |
|
|
|
592 |
|
|
2. Update Event Handling algorithm to avoid looping due to recreation of the |
593 |
|
|
event block. |
594 |
|
|
|
595 |
|
|
3. Avoid invalid XSQLDA error when the only parameter is updated to null |
596 |
|
|
|
597 |
|
|
4. Array Handling: fix problem with text arrays with character set none. When the |
598 |
|
|
DB connection has a default character set (e.g. UTF8), an error is raised by |
599 |
|
|
Firebird if the space allocated is not enough to allow for transliteration, even |
600 |
|
|
though it is not required for character set none. |
601 |
|
|
|
602 |
|
|
5. IBUtils: List of reserved words brought up-to-date |
603 |
|
|
|
604 |
|
|
6. Add ISQL style performance statistics collection to IStatement |
605 |
|
|
|
606 |
|
|
7. Add IFirebirdAPI.CreateDatabase variant to allow execution of user provided |
607 |
|
|
CREATE DATABASE statement. |
608 |
|
|
|
609 |
|
|
8. Update SQL Statement parsing to allow for Array Dimensions. That is so that the ':' in |
610 |
|
|
an array dimension is not mistaken for a named parameter prefix. |
611 |
|
|
|
612 |
|
|
9. Trim function no longer applied to result of GetAsString for SQL_TEXT |
613 |
|
|
when Character set is octets. Avoids loss of non printable characters at start of string. |
614 |
|
|
|
615 |
|
|
10. Add function GetPerfStatistics to IStatement. This returns ISQL like performance |
616 |
|
|
statistics for the last action. Requires use of procedure IStatement.EnableStatistics |
617 |
|
|
to enable stats gathering. |
618 |
|
|
|
619 |
|
|
11. API Version information added as constants to IB.pas |
620 |
|
|
|
621 |
|
|
12. BlobMetaData character set id should now be the same as that given by IColumnMetaData.GetCharSetID |
622 |
|
|
|
623 |
|
|
13. Firebird Character set "NONE" now interpreted as codepage CP_ACP. |
