1 + FBINTF Change Log  version          (1.3-2 Build 12806) Wed, 06 Oct 2021 09:07:03 +0100
2 +
3 + 1. TFBClientAPI.GetProcAddr. Add check for nil reference.
4 +
5 + 2. IStatement: new methods:
6 +    procedure SetStaleReferenceChecks(Enable:boolean); {default true}
7 +    function GetStaleReferenceChecks: boolean;
8 +
9 +   In previous versions, stale reference checks were always enabled. This allows the
10 +   user to disable them on a per statement basis. Note this can risk out-of-date
11 +   statement BLR. See User Guide.
12 +
13 + 3. IBUtils: TSQLwithNamedParamsTokeniser now recognises a CASE...END block within a
14 +   stored procedure and hence avoids replacing named parameters within a containing
15 +   BEGIN..END block.
16 +
17 + FBINTF Change Log  version          (1.3-1 Build 12776) Mon, 23 Aug 2021 11:09:33 +0100
18 +
19 + 1. Integer decodes in information blocks (e.g. IDBInfoItem) widened from 32 bit to 64-bit integers.
20 +
21 + 2. Support for inline blob encoding. Blob values pass using the "SetAsString" method
22 +   will now be encoded inline (i.e. as part of the parameter buffer) if they are
23 +   shorter than a pre-set limit. Longer values continue to be saved as blobs as a
24 +   separate server interaction. This is intended as a performance optimisation.
25 +
26 +   The pre-set limit defaults to 8192 bytes and can be inspected/modified using the new
27 +   IAttachment interface functions:
28 +
29 +    function GetInlineBlobLimit: integer;
30 +    procedure SetInlineBlobLimit(limit: integer);
31 +
32 + 3. Support for Firebird 4 IBatch interface added. This is largely transparent to the API
33 +   user as the functionality is embedded in the implementation of the IStatement
34 +   interface. Three new functions are defined:
35 +
36 +    procedure AddToBatch;
37 +    function ExecuteBatch(aTransaction: ITransaction=nil): IBatchCompletion;
38 +    procedure CancelBatch;
39 +    function GetBatchCompletion: IBatchCompletion;
40 +    function GetBatchRowLimit: integer;
41 +    procedure SetBatchRowLimit(aLimit: integer);
42 +
43 +   Also
44 +
45 +    function IsInBatchMode: boolean;        {true after call to execute(eaDefer)}
46 +    function HasBatchMode: boolean;         {true if and only if IBatch Supported}
47 +
48 +   For more information see the User Guide.
49 +
50 + 4. Default error message contents. Now aligned with User Guide section 10.2 i.e. error messages
51 +   provided with the EIBInterBaseError now include all three parts.
52 +
53 + 5. Firebird.pas and include files updated to Firebird 4.0.0
54 +
55 + 6. New IStatement method: function GetSQLStatementTypeName: AnsiString;
56 +   Returns SQL Statement type as a text string;
57 +
58 + 7. ISQLData.AsInteger and AsInt64 now use "Round" to convert a float field to
59 +   an integer instead of "trunc". This is for compatibility with TFloatField.AsInteger.
60 +
61 + FBINTF Change Log  version          (1.2-1 Build 12552) Wed, 09 Jun 2021 13:05:40 +0100
62 +
63 + 1. Big fix for Firebird 4.0. A internal change in Firebird 4.0.0 from RC1 flushed out a
64 +   typo in FB30Statement.pas that caused an unknown parameter error.
65 +
66 + FBINTF Change Log  version          (1.2-0 Build 12520) Fri, 19 Feb 2021 13:27:23 +0000
67 +
68 + 1. Imported (Firebird) constants updated for Firebird 4.
69 +
70 + 2. Firebird.pas from Firebird 4 integrated into source code tree.
71 +
72 + 3. Added Support for TIMETAMP WITH TIME ZONE and TIME WITH TIME ZONE data types.
73 +
74 + 4. Added Support for SQL_DEC16, SQL_DEC34 and extended NUMERIC precision.
75 +
76 + 5. New unit 'FBClientLib.pas' added and provides new interface IFBIMasterProvider.
77 +   QueryInterface may be used to coerce this interface from IFirebirdAPI. The
78 +   interface provides a single method "function GetIMasterIntf: IMaster". This provides
79 +   type safe access to the Firebird IMaster interface and avoids the need to turn
80 +   off object checks when coercing "function GetIMaster: TObject" to IMaster.
81 +
82 + 6. New IFirebirdAPI Calls:
83 +    function HasLocalTZDB: boolean;
84 +    function HasTimeZoneSupport: boolean;
85 +    function HasExtendedTZSupport: boolean;
86 +    procedure SQLDecFloatEncode(aValue: tBCD; SQLType: cardinal; bufptr: PByte);
87 +    function SQLDecFloatDecode(SQLType: cardinal; scale: integer; bufptr: PByte): tBCD;
88 +
89 + 7. New IAttachment Calls:
90 +    function HasDecFloatSupport: boolean;
91 +    function GetTimeZoneServices: ITimeZoneServices;
92 +    function HasTimeZoneSupport: boolean;
93 +
94 + 8. New Interface ITimeZoneServices.
95 +
96 + 9. New ISQLData API Calls:
97 +    procedure GetAsDateTime(var aDateTime: TDateTime; var dstOffset: smallint; var aTimezoneID: TFBTimeZoneID); overload;
98 +    procedure GetAsDateTime(var aDateTime: TDateTime; var dstOffset: smallint; var aTimezone: AnsiString); overload;
99 +    procedure GetAsTime(var aTime: TDateTime; var dstOffset: smallint; var aTimezoneID: TFBTimeZoneID; OnDate: TDateTime); overload;
100 +    procedure GetAsTime(var aTime: TDateTime; var dstOffset: smallint; var aTimezone: AnsiString; OnDate: TDateTime); overload;
101 +    function GetAsUTCDateTime: TDateTime;
102 +    function GetAsBCD: tBCD;
103 +
104 + 10. New ISQLParam API Calls
105 +    procedure GetAsDateTime(var aDateTime: TDateTime; var dstOffset: smallint; var aTimezoneID: TFBTimeZoneID); overload;
106 +    procedure GetAsDateTime(var aDateTime: TDateTime; var dstOffset: smallint; var aTimezone: AnsiString); overload;
107 +    procedure GetAsTime(var aTime: TDateTime; var dstOffset: smallint; var aTimezoneID: TFBTimeZoneID; OnDate: TDateTime); overload;
108 +    procedure GetAsTime(var aTime: TDateTime; var dstOffset: smallint; var aTimezone: AnsiString; OnDate: TDateTime); overload;
109 +    function GetAsUTCDateTime: TDateTime;
110 +    function GetAsBCD: tBCD;
111 +    function GetStatement: IStatement;
112 +    function GetTransaction: ITransaction;
113 +    procedure SetAsTime(aValue: TDateTime; OnDate: TDateTime; aTimeZoneID: TFBTimeZoneID); overload;
114 +    procedure SetAsTime(aValue: TDateTime; OnDate: TDateTime; aTimeZone: AnsiString); overload;
115 +    procedure SetAsDateTime(aValue: TDateTime; aTimeZoneID: TFBTimeZoneID); overload;
116 +    procedure SetAsDateTime(aValue: TDateTime; aTimeZone: AnsiString); overload;
117 +    procedure SetAsUTCDateTime(aUTCTime: TDateTime);
118 +    procedure SetAsBcd(aValue: tBCD);
119 +
120 + 11. New IArray API Calls
121 +    procedure GetAsDateTime(index: array of integer; var aDateTime: TDateTime; var dstOffset: smallint; var aTimezoneID: TFBTimeZoneID); overload;
122 +    procedure GetAsDateTime(index: array of integer; var aDateTime: TDateTime; var dstOffset: smallint; var aTimezone: AnsiString); overload;
123 +    procedure GetAsTime(index: array of integer; var aTime: TDateTime; var dstOffset: smallint; var aTimezoneID: TFBTimeZoneID; OnDate: TDateTime); overload;
124 +    procedure GetAsTime(index: array of integer; var aTime: TDateTime; var dstOffset: smallint; var aTimezone: AnsiString; OnDate: TDateTime); overload;
125 +    function GetAsUTCDateTime(index: array of integer): TDateTime;
126 +    procedure SetAsDateTime(index: array of integer; aValue: TDateTime; aTimeZoneID: TFBTimeZoneID); overload;
127 +    procedure SetAsDateTime(index: array of integer; aValue: TDateTime; aTimeZone: AnsiString); overload;
128 +    procedure SetAsTime(index: array of integer; aValue: TDateTime; OnDate: TDateTime; aTimeZoneID: TFBTimeZoneID); overload;
129 +    procedure SetAsTime(index: array of integer; aValue: TDateTime; OnDate: TDateTime; aTimeZone: AnsiString); overload;
130 +
131 + 12. Utility functions in IBUtils
132 +    function ParseDateTimeTZString(aDateTimeStr: Ansistring; var aDateTime: TDateTime;
133 +              var aTimezone: AnsiString; aFormatSettings: TFormatSettings; TimeOnly: boolean=false): boolean;
134 +    procedure FBDecodeTime(aTime: TDateTime; var Hour, Minute, Second: word; var DeciMillisecond: cardinal);
135 +    function FBEncodeTime(Hour, Minute, Second, DeciMillisecond: cardinal): TDateTime;
136 +    function FBFormatDateTime(fmt: AnsiString; aDateTime: TDateTime): AnsiString;
137 +    function FormatTimeZoneOffset(EffectiveTimeOffsetMins: integer): AnsiString;
138 +    function DecodeTimeZoneOffset(TZOffset: AnsiString; var dstOffset: integer): boolean;
139 +
140 + 13. IDPB, ITPB and ISPB: new interface method
141 +      function AddByTypeName(ParamTypeName: AnsiString): IDPBItem/ITPBItem/ISPBItem;
142 +    This is used to add a parameter block item by the string equivalent of its
143 +    symbolic type name. e.g. DPB.AddByTypeName('isc_dpb_user_name').AsString := '...'
144 +
145 + 14. IDPBItem/ITPBItem/ISPBItem: new interface method:
146 +      function getParamTypeName: AnsiString;
147 +
148 + 15. fb_shutdown now called before unloading Firebird library. This can avoid a
149 +     SIGEVENT error when a programme using the embeded server is unloaded.
150 +
151 + FBINTF Change Log  version          (1.1-6 Build 12237) Tue, 21 Jul 2020 08:54:21 +0100
152 +
153 + 1. GetImplementationVersion now correctly returns '3.0' for Firebird 3 API
154 +   with a Firebrid 3 client library.
155 +
156 + 2. Linux Only: FIREBIRD environment variable is now checked when loading the client library.
157 +    If a client library path is not explicitly provided and the FIREBIRD environment
158 +    variable is set then the directory given by this variable and any 'lib' subdirectory
159 +    are searched for the Firebird client library. Only if none is found, is the default
160 +    client library used.
161 +
162 + 3.  IUtil.FormatStatus now used to format error messages when using new API
163 +
164 + 4.  Fixed Array SDL: array_desc_scale now correctly encoded as a signed integer.
165 +
166 + 5.  SQL_TEXT handling changed. When the value of an SQL_TEXT (i.e. fixed width string) column is
167 +    returned using GetAsString and the string codepage is UTF8, the string is truncated so
168 +    that the byte length corresponds to the number of characters specified for the column.
169 +    SQL_TEXT strings are no longer automatically trimmed to remove all trailing white space. This is
170 +    correct behaviour but may affect some implementations that relied upon automatic
171 +    trimming of trailing white space.
172 +
173 + 6.  New IFirebirdAPI Calls:
174 +      function GetClientMajor: integer;
175 +      function GetClientMinor: integer;
176 +
177 + 7.  IColumnMetaData and IArrayMetaData: new method
178 +      function GetCharSetWidth: integer;
179 +
180 + FBINTF Change Log  version          (1.1-5 Build 12022) Fri, 17 Apr 2020 10:35:55 +0100
181 +
182 + 1. ISQLParams.GetHasCaseSensitiveParams added. Returns true if param names are
183 +   case sensitive
184 +
185 + 2. Single line SQL comments starting with '--' are now recognised by SQL Parser.
186 +
187 + 3. New API Calls:
188 +        IColumnMetaData.GetStatement
189 +        IColumnMetaData.GetTransaction
190 +        ISQLData.GetStrDataLength
191 +        IResults.GetStatement
192 +        IAttachment.OpenBlob (using Blob metadata)
193 +        IAttachment.OpenArray (using array metadata)
194 +
195 + 4. FBMessages: removal of unused messages
196 +
197 + 5. TFBArray.Create (2nd case): ensure that FFirebirdClientAPI is correctly set.
198 +
199 + 6. TIBSQLStatementType: SQLSavePoint added to end of enumeration.
200 +
201 + FBINTF Change Log  version          (1.1-4 Build 11515)  Fri, 28 Dec 2018 10:04:19 +0000
202 +
203 + 1. Fix a problem with the SQL parameter parser that failed to recognise parameters
204 +   where the second character of the parameter name is a numeric.
205 +
206 + 2. New method for IAttachment: procedure getFBVersion(version: TStrings);
207 +   This returns the isc_version connection information as one or more lines.
208 +   This is the same information as returned by isql with the -z option.
209 +
210 + 3. If -dFIREBIRD3APIONLY is used as a compiler option then the legacy Firebird API
211 +   is no longer compiled in. Likewise, if -dLEGACYFIREBIRDAPIONLY is used as a
212 +   compiler option then the Firebird 3 API is no longer compiled in.
213 +
214 + 4. IColumnMetaData: new method.
215 +
216 +   TIBDateTimeFormats = (dfTimestamp, {SQL TIMESTAMP}
217 +                        dfDateTime,   {SQL DATETIME}
218 +                        dfTime);
219 +
220 +   function GetDateTimeStrLength(DateTimeFormat: TIBDateTimeFormats): integer;
221 +
222 +   This returns the max. number of characters returned by the "AsString" method
223 +   when the SQL type of the column is respectively TIMESTAMP, DATETIME or TIME.
224 +
225 + 5. Additional argument for IAttachment.PrepareWithNamedParameters -
226 +     CaseSensitiveParams: boolean = false
227 +
228 +   If this argument is set to true then SQL parameter names are assumed to be case
229 +   sensitive and must be referenced (using ISQLParams.ByName) using the case
230 +   sensitive name.
231 +
232 + 6. Bug fix: when setting a query parameter, it is now possible, when the parameter
233 +   is of type VarChar or Char to set the parameter to a numeric value (e.g. using
234 +   .AsCurrency) and then subsequently to update the value to a non-numeric string
235 +   using .AsString.
236 +
237 +
238 +
239 + FBINTF Change Log  version                  (1.1-3) Wed, 05 Dec 2018 14:28:10 +0000
240 +
241 + 1. DARWIN only syntax error: fix missing semi-colon in TFBClientAPI.LoadIBLibrary
242 +
243 + 2. Restrict IsMultiThread check to Unix only for compatibility with
244 +   https://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=30535
245 +
246 + 3. New SQL Tokeniser added to IBUtils. This is used to pre-process SQL with
247 +   named parameters and is intended to avoid problems with (e.g.) Execute Block
248 +   and processing internal parameters as statement parameters.
249 +
250 + 4. New interface IFirebirdLibrary provides access to the underlying firebird DLL
251 +   or shared object. Available via a new member (GetFBLibrary) of IFirebirdAPI.
252 +
253 + 5. New function added to IB.pas
254 +
255 +   function LoadFBLibrary(aLibPathName: string): IFirebirdLibrary
256 +
257 +   This allows a Firebird Library to be loaded from an explicit path. use the
258 +   IFirebirdLibrary.GetFirebirdAPI member function to get the Firebird API using
259 +   the library. It is possible to load Firebird libraries from different locations
260 +   simultaneously, each with a distinct IFirebirdAPI.
261 +
262 + FBINTF Change Log  version               (1.1-2) Mon, 16 Apr 2018 09:30:32 +0100
263 +
264 + 1. Firebird.pas: {$OBJECTCHECKS OFF} added to file to avoid runtime error when
265 +   program compiled with -CR command line switch.
266 +
267 + 2. IServiceManager additions (informational):
268 +    function getProtocol: TProtocol;
269 +    function getPortNo: AnsiString;
270 +
271 + 3. IServiceManager improved error handling. Interfaces changed:
272 +    function Start(Request: ISRB; RaiseExceptionOnError: boolean=true): boolean;
273 +    function Query(SQPB: ISQPB; Request: ISRB; RaiseExceptionOnError: boolean=true) :IServiceQueryResults; overload;
274 +    function Query(Request: ISRB; RaiseExceptionOnError: boolean=true) :IServiceQueryResults; overload;
275 +
276 + 4. IAttachment addition (informational)
277 +    function GetSecurityDatabase: AnsiString;
278 +
279 + 5. IStatement: performance counters now updated after each Fetch. GetPerfStatistics
280 +   thus now returns accumulated stats for a select statement from opening a cursor
281 +   up to the last fetch.
282 +
283 + 6. DARWIN: uloadlibrary.inc bug fix. Many thanks to Luigi Naimi for correcting
284 +   the problem.
285 +
286 + 7. Type change: "TPerfCounters = array[TPerfStats] of Int64". Note "Int64"
287 +   replaces deprecated "comp" type.
288 +
289 + 10. Testsuite Test10 updated to include thread synchronisation for event reporting.
290 +
291 + 11. URL Connection Strings: inet4 and inet6 now recognised.
292 +
293 + 12. IBUtils: Parse and Make Connect String now recognise URL style loopback syntax.
294 +
295 + 13. IAttachment.CharSetName2CharSetID is now performed case insensitive.
296 +
297 +
298 + FBINTF Change Log  version (1.1-1) Tue, 27 Feb 2018 16:51:16 +0000
299 +
300 + 1. IBUtils.QuoteIdentifierIfNeeded: Add check for space character.
301 +
302 + 2. IAttachment: add two new methods
303 +     function HasDefaultCharSet: boolean;
304 +     function GetDefaultCharSetID: integer;
305 +
306 +   These return, respectively, true if a connection default character set was
307 +   specified and the character set id of the connection default character set.
308 +   The DefaultCharSetID is cached when the connection is opened and hence does not
309 +   require a database lookup.
310 +
311 + 3. Avoid exception when a text blob is a stored procedure parameter.
312 +
313 + 4. Update test suite to include a test for a stored proc returning a text blob.
314 +
315 + 5. IAttachment: add
316 +      function GetRemoteProtocol: AnsiString;
317 +      function GetODSMajorVersion: integer;
318 +      function GetODSMinorVersion: integer;
319 +      function GetAuthenticationMethod: AnsiString;
320 +
321 +   These results are cached when the connection is opened and hence do not
322 +   require a database lookup.
323 +
324 + 6. IAttachment: add "function GetConnectString: AnsiString;" This returns the
325 +   connect string used to create/connect to the database.
326 +
327 + 7. IAttachment: Create Database using SQL statement. The username and password
328 +   are now extracted and used to populate a DPB made available via IAttachment.getDPB.
329 +   It is now possible to use IAttachment disconnect/connect to reconnect to
330 +   a database for which the initial connection was established by a create
331 +   database sql statement. Available in FPC only.
332 +
333 + 8. Update Test 1 to test 5, 6 and 7 above.
334 +
335 + 9. IBUtils code tidy up.
336 +
337 + 10. Parameter Block interfaces "find" method. As documented, this should have
338 +   returned a nil interface when the item could not be found. Instead, an empty
339 +   interface item was returned. "Find" now works as documented and will return
340 +   a nil interface if the item cannot be found.
341 +
342 + 11. DBInformation: support added for isc_info_active_tran_count and isc_info_creation_date.
343 +
344 + 12. DBInformation: New interfaces: IDIRB and IDIRBItem added to support DB Information
345 +    requests with additional parameters. This is to enable support for fb_info_page_contents
346 +    (return of page contents). Response to fb_info_page_contents returned as
347 +    a string with code page CP_NONE.
348 +
349 + 13. DBInformation: Support for fb_info_pages_used and fb_info_pages_free added, plus
350 +    test suite updated.
351 +
352 + 14. DBInformation: Support for fb_info_crypt_key (Firebird 3.0.3 onwards) added as
353 +    a string type, and fb_info_conn_flags (Firebird 3.0.3 onwards) added as an integer type.
354 +
355 + 15. Service Manager: List of protocols supported expanded to include inet, wnet and xnet.
356 +    An overloaded version of IIFirebirdAPI.GetServiceManager also allows a non
357 +    default connection port to be specified.
358 +
359 + FBINTF Change Log  version                             (1.1-0) Sun, 07 Jan 2018 15:20:02 +0000
360 +
361 + 1. Fix issues with setting SQL Param values using SetAsString with Numeric types.
362 +   Scale is no longer ignored.
363 +
364 + 2. Fix issues with setting SQL Param values using SetAsString with Date values
365 +   not in locale format but which are recognised by Firebird. Date values that
366 +   cannot be converted to a string using Pascal library are now passed through
367 +   to Firebird as Text Strings.
368 +
369 + 3. Lookup character set name by codepage amended to ensure that CP_UTF8 returns
370 +   UTF8 and not UNICODE_FSS.
371 +
372 + 4. Charset ID problem. When using Firebird 3, with no default database character set
373 +   and a column has a non-default collation specified, an incorrect character set
374 +   id was being reported that could result in a 'division by zero' error when
375 +   used by IBX. This has now been fixed.
376 +
377 + 5. Move GetCharsetName, CharSetID2CodePage, CodePage2CharSetID, CharSetName2CharSetID,
378 +   CharSetWidth from IFirebirdAPI to IAttachment. This is a better data model as
379 +   the character sets supported can be updated on a per database basis. That is
380 +   it is possible to add a (Firebird) user defined character set to a database.
381 +
382 + 6. Add RegisterCharSet to IAttachment. This is used to register a user defined character
383 +   set supported by Firebird with the API.
384 +
385 + 7. Add missing isc_info_db_read_only to list of decoded Database Information items
386 +   in FBOutputBlock.pas and update test suite to include this item.
387 +
388 + 8. FB30Client: avoid always using "StartMultiple" when only a single database attachment.
389 +
390 + 9. Loading Windows fbclient.dll: when using the FIREBIRD variable to locate the client
391 +   library or finding it by disk location, the PATH environment variable is now also set to
392 +   include the FIREBIRD directory. This is to ensure that the correct dlls in the
393 +   firebird client library dependencies are loaded.
394 +
395 + 10. Testsuite: Ensure consistent UTF-8 output on Windows console.
396 +
397 + 11. Testsuite: Update Windows script to include FPC 3.0.4 in search path.
398 +
399 + 12. FB30Statement: Protect call to "Move" and avoid calling with a nil pointer
400 +
401 + 13. FB30Statement: A check has been added to ensure that all SQL Parameters
402 +    have been given a value (including NULL). Previously, failing to set the
403 +    value of an SQL Parameter could give rise to unpredictable results or
404 +    an SQLDA error.
405 +

415 + FBINTF Change Log  version             (1.0-2) Sat, 04 Mar 2017 14:43:56 +0000
416 +
417 + 1. Change syntax to Mode Delphi
418 +
419 + 2. Change all uses of string type to explicit AnsiString in order to ensure
420 +   compatibility between Delphi and FPC.
421 +
422 + 3. Various syntax changes to ensure Delphi and FPC compilation including GUIDs
423 +   defined for each interface.
424 +
425 + 4. Generics syntax variations for Delphi added
426 +
427 + 5. PChar replaced with PByte expect where an actual string is being referenced,
428 +   where PAnsiChar is used instead.
429 +
430 + 6. Review of type definitions in IBExternals to ensure Delphi compatibility
431 +
432 + 7. Testsuite updated for Delphi
433 +
434 + FBINTF Change Log  version            (1.0-1) Fri, 24 Feb 2017 12:17:57 +0000
435 +
436 + 1. Limit maximum Blob segment read/write to MaxuShort. Avoids data loss with
437 +   large blobs and the FB3 API.
438 +
439 + 2. Update Event Handling algorithm to avoid looping due to recreation of the
440 +   event block.
441 +
442 + 3. Avoid invalid XSQLDA error when the only parameter is updated to null
443 +
444 + 4. Array Handling: fix problem with text arrays with character set none. When the
445 +   DB connection has a default character set (e.g. UTF8), an error is raised by
446 +   Firebird if the space allocated is not enough to allow for transliteration, even
447 +   though it is not required for character set none.
448 +
449 + 5. IBUtils: List of reserved words brought up-to-date
450 +
451 + 6. Add ISQL style performance statistics collection to IStatement
452 +
453 + 7. Add IFirebirdAPI.CreateDatabase variant to allow execution of user provided
454 +   CREATE DATABASE statement.
455 +
456 + 8. Update SQL Statement parsing to allow for Array Dimensions. That is so that the ':' in
457 +   an array dimension is not mistaken for a named parameter prefix.
458 +
459 + 9. Trim function no longer applied to result of GetAsString for SQL_TEXT
460 +   when Character set is octets. Avoids loss of non printable characters at start of string.
461 +
462 + 10. Add function GetPerfStatistics to IStatement. This returns ISQL like performance
463 +    statistics for the last action. Requires use of procedure IStatement.EnableStatistics
464 +    to enable stats gathering.
465 +
466 + 11. API Version information added as constants to IB.pas
467 +
468 + 12. BlobMetaData character set id should now be the same as that given by IColumnMetaData.GetCharSetID
469 +
470 + 13. Firebird Character set "NONE" now interpreted as codepage CP_ACP.
471 +
