> |
1. Imported (Firebird) constants updated for Firebird 4. |
| 9 |
> |
|
| 10 |
> |
2. Firebird.pas from Firebird 4 integrated into source code tree. |
| 11 |
> |
|
| 12 |
> |
3. Added Support for TIMETAMP WITH TIME ZONE and TIME WITH TIME ZONE data types. |
| 13 |
> |
|
| 14 |
> |
4. Added Support for SQL_DEC16, SQL_DEC34 and extended NUMERIC precision. |
| 15 |
> |
|
| 16 |
> |
5. New unit 'FBClientLib.pas' added and provides new interface IFBIMasterProvider. |
| 17 |
> |
QueryInterface may be used to coerce this interface from IFirebirdAPI. The |
| 18 |
> |
interface provides a single method "function GetIMasterIntf: IMaster". This provides |
| 19 |
> |
type safe access to the Firebird IMaster interface and avoids the need to turn |
| 20 |
> |
off object checks when coercing "function GetIMaster: TObject" to IMaster. |
| 21 |
> |
|
| 22 |
> |
6. New IFirebirdAPI Calls: |
| 23 |

> |
function SQLDecFloatDecode(SQLType: cardinal; scale: integer; bufptr: PByte): tBCD; |
| 28 |
> |
|
| 29 |

| 33 |
> |
|
| 34 |

13. IDPB, ITPB and ISPB: new interface method |
| 81 |
> |
function AddByTypeName(ParamTypeName: AnsiString): IDPBItem/ITPBItem/ISPBItem; |
| 82 |
> |
This is used to add a parameter block item by the string equivalent of its |
| 83 |
> |
symbolic type name. e.g. DPB.AddByTypeName('isc_dpb_user_name').AsString := '...' |
| 84 |
> |
|
| 85 |
> |
14. IDPBItem/ITPBItem/ISPBItem: new interface method: |
| 86 |
> |
function getParamTypeName: AnsiString; |
| 87 |
> |
|
| 88 |
> |
15. fb_shutdown now called before unloading Firebird library. This can avoid a |

1. GetImplementationVersion now correctly returns '3.0' for Firebird 3 API |
| 94 |
> |
with a Firebrid 3 client library. |
| 95 |
> |
|
| 96 |
> |
2. Linux Only: FIREBIRD environment variable is now checked when loading the client library. |
| 97 |
> |
If a client library path is not explicitly provided and the FIREBIRD environment |
| 98 |
> |
variable is set then the directory given by this variable and any 'lib' subdirectory |
| 99 |
> |
are searched for the Firebird client library. Only if none is found, is the default |
| 100 |
> |
client library used. |
| 101 |
> |
|
| 102 |
> |
3. IUtil.FormatStatus now used to format error messages when using new API |
| 103 |
> |
|
| 104 |
> |
4. Fixed Array SDL: array_desc_scale now correctly encoded as a signed integer. |
| 105 |
> |
|
| 106 |
> |
5. SQL_TEXT handling changed. When the value of an SQL_TEXT (i.e. fixed width string) column is |
| 107 |
> |
returned using GetAsString and the string codepage is UTF8, the string is truncated so |
| 108 |
> |
that the byte length corresponds to the number of characters specified for the column. |
| 109 |
> |
SQL_TEXT strings are no longer automatically trimmed to remove all trailing white space. This is |
| 110 |
> |
correct behaviour but may affect some implementations that relied upon automatic |
| 111 |
> |
trimming of trailing white space. |
| 112 |
> |
|
| 113 |
> |
6. New IFirebirdAPI Calls: |
| 114 |
> |
function GetClientMajor: integer; |
| 115 |
> |
function GetClientMinor: integer; |
| 116 |
> |
|
| 117 |
> |
7. IColumnMetaData and IArrayMetaData: new method |
| 118 |
> |
function GetCharSetWidth: integer; |
| 119 |
> |
|
| 120 |
> |

1. ISQLParams.GetHasCaseSensitiveParams added. Returns true if param names are |
| 123 |
> |
case sensitive |
| 124 |
> |
|
| 125 |
> |
2. Single line SQL comments starting with '--' are now recognised by SQL Parser. |
| 126 |

| 131 |
> |
IResults.GetStatement |
| 132 |
> |
IAttachment.OpenBlob (using Blob metadata) |
| 133 |
> |
IAttachment.OpenArray (using array metadata) |
| 134 |
> |
|
| 135 |
> |
4. FBMessages: removal of unused messages |
| 136 |
> |
|
| 137 |
> |
5. TFBArray.Create (2nd case): ensure that FFirebirdClientAPI is correctly set. |
| 138 |
> |
|
| 139 |
> |
6. TIBSQLStatementType: SQLSavePoint added to end of enumeration. |
| 140 |

| 143 |
> |
1. Fix a problem with the SQL parameter parser that failed to recognise parameters |
| 144 |
> |
where the second character of the parameter name is a numeric. |
| 145 |
> |
|
| 146 |
> |
2. New method for IAttachment: procedure getFBVersion(version: TStrings); |
| 147 |
> |
This returns the isc_version connection information as one or more lines. |
| 148 |
> |
This is the same information as returned by isql with the -z option. |
| 149 |
> |
|
| 150 |
> |
3. If -dFIREBIRD3APIONLY is used as a compiler option then the legacy Firebird API |
| 151 |
> |
is no longer compiled in. Likewise, if -dLEGACYFIREBIRDAPIONLY is used as a |
| 152 |
> |
compiler option then the Firebird 3 API is no longer compiled in. |
| 153 |
> |
|
| 154 |
> |
4. IColumnMetaData: new method. |
| 155 |
> |
|
| 156 |
> |
TIBDateTimeFormats = (dfTimestamp, {SQL TIMESTAMP} |
| 157 |
> |
dfDateTime, {SQL DATETIME} |
| 158 |
> |
dfTime); |
| 159 |
> |
|
| 160 |
> |
function GetDateTimeStrLength(DateTimeFormat: TIBDateTimeFormats): integer; |
| 161 |
> |
|
| 162 |
> |
This returns the max. number of characters returned by the "AsString" method |
| 163 |
> |
when the SQL type of the column is respectively TIMESTAMP, DATETIME or TIME. |
| 164 |
> |
|
| 165 |
> |
5. Additional argument for IAttachment.PrepareWithNamedParameters - |
| 166 |
> |
CaseSensitiveParams: boolean = false |
| 167 |
> |
|
| 168 |
> |
If this argument is set to true then SQL parameter names are assumed to be case |
| 169 |
> |
sensitive and must be referenced (using ISQLParams.ByName) using the case |
| 170 |
> |
sensitive name. |
| 171 |
> |
|
| 172 |
> |
6. Bug fix: when setting a query parameter, it is now possible, when the parameter |
| 173 |
> |
is of type VarChar or Char to set the parameter to a numeric value (e.g. using |
| 174 |
> |
.AsCurrency) and then subsequently to update the value to a non-numeric string |
| 175 |
> |
using .AsString. |

> |
1. DARWIN only syntax error: fix missing semi-colon in TFBClientAPI.LoadIBLibrary |
| 182 |
> |
|
| 183 |
> |
2. Restrict IsMultiThread check to Unix only for compatibility with |
| 184 |
> |
https://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=30535 |
| 185 |
> |
|
| 186 |
> |
3. New SQL Tokeniser added to IBUtils. This is used to pre-process SQL with |
| 187 |
> |
named parameters and is intended to avoid problems with (e.g.) Execute Block |
| 188 |
> |
and processing internal parameters as statement parameters. |
| 189 |
> |
|
| 190 |
> |
4. New interface IFirebirdLibrary provides access to the underlying firebird DLL |
| 191 |
> |
or shared object. Available via a new member (GetFBLibrary) of IFirebirdAPI. |
| 192 |
> |
|
| 193 |
> |
5. New function added to IB.pas |
| 194 |
> |
|
| 195 |
> |
function LoadFBLibrary(aLibPathName: string): IFirebirdLibrary |
| 196 |
> |
|
| 197 |
> |
This allows a Firebird Library to be loaded from an explicit path. use the |
| 198 |
> |
IFirebirdLibrary.GetFirebirdAPI member function to get the Firebird API using |
| 199 |
> |
the library. It is possible to load Firebird libraries from different locations |
| 200 |
> |
simultaneously, each with a distinct IFirebirdAPI. |
| 201 |

1. Firebird.pas: {$OBJECTCHECKS OFF} added to file to avoid runtime error when |
| 205 |
> |
program compiled with -CR command line switch. |
| 206 |
> |
|
| 207 |
> |
2. IServiceManager additions (informational): |
| 208 |

> |
|
| 211 |
> |
3. IServiceManager improved error handling. Interfaces changed: |
| 212 |
> |
function Start(Request: ISRB; RaiseExceptionOnError: boolean=true): boolean; |
| 213 |
> |
function Query(SQPB: ISQPB; Request: ISRB; RaiseExceptionOnError: boolean=true) :IServiceQueryResults; overload; |
| 214 |
> |
function Query(Request: ISRB; RaiseExceptionOnError: boolean=true) :IServiceQueryResults; overload; |
| 215 |
> |
|
| 216 |
> |
4. IAttachment addition (informational) |
| 217 |
> |
function GetSecurityDatabase: AnsiString; |
| 218 |
> |
|
| 219 |
> |
5. IStatement: performance counters now updated after each Fetch. GetPerfStatistics |
| 220 |
> |
thus now returns accumulated stats for a select statement from opening a cursor |
| 221 |
> |
up to the last fetch. |
| 222 |
> |
|
| 223 |
> |
6. DARWIN: uloadlibrary.inc bug fix. Many thanks to Luigi Naimi for correcting |
| 224 |
> |
the problem. |
| 225 |
> |
|
| 226 |
> |
7. Type change: "TPerfCounters = array[TPerfStats] of Int64". Note "Int64" |
| 227 |
