1 tony 143 FBINTF Change Log version (1.1-1) Thu, 22 Feb 2018 16:01:13 +0000
2 tony 59
3 tony 107 1. IBUtils.QuoteIdentifierIfNeeded: Add check for space character.
4    
5 tony 109 2. IAttachment: add two new methods
6     function HasDefaultCharSet: boolean;
7     function GetDefaultCharSetID: integer;
8    
9     These return, respectively, true if a connection default character set was
10 tony 117 specified and the character set id of the connection default character set.
11     The DefaultCharSetID is cached when the connection is opened and hence does not
12     require a database lookup.
13 tony 109
14 tony 110 3. Avoid exception when a text blob is a stored procedure parameter.
15 tony 109
16 tony 111 4. Update test suite to include a test for a stored proc returning a text blob.
17    
18 tony 117 5. IAttachment: add
19     function GetRemoteProtocol: AnsiString;
20     function GetODSMajorVersion: integer;
21     function GetODSMinorVersion: integer;
22 tony 143 function GetAuthenticationMethod: AnsiString;
23 tony 117
24     These results are cached when the connection is opened and hence do not
25     require a database lookup.
26    
27     6. IAttachment: add "function GetConnectString: AnsiString;" This returns the
28     connect string used to create/connect to the database.
29    
30     7. IAttachment: Create Database using SQL statement. The username and password
31     are now extracted and used to populate a DPB made available via IAttachment.getDPB.
32     It is now possible to use IAttachment disconnect/connect to reconnect to
33     a database for which the initial connection was established by a create
34 tony 120 database sql statement. Available in FPC only.
35 tony 117
36     8. Update Test 1 to test 5, 6 and 7 above.
37    
38     9. IBUtils code tidy up.
39    
40 tony 143 10. Parameter Block interfaces "find" method. As documented, this should have
41     returned a nil interface when the item could not be found. Instead, an empty
42     interface item was returned. "Find" now works as documented and will return
43     a nil interface if the item cannot be found.
44    
45     11. DBInformation: support added for isc_info_active_tran_count and isc_info_creation_date.
46    
47     12. DBInformation: New interfaces: IDIRB and IDIRBItem added to support DB Information
48     requests with additional parameters. This is to enable support for fb_info_page_contents
49     (return of page contents). Response to fb_info_page_contents returned as
50     a string with code page CP_NONE.
51    
52     13. DBInformation: Support for fb_info_pages_used and fb_info_pages_free added, plus
53     test suite updated.
54    
55     14. DBInformation: Support for fb_info_crypt_key (Firebird 3.0.3 onwards) added as
56     a string type, and fb_info_conn_flags (Firebird 3.0.3 onwards) added as an integer type.
57    
58     15. Service Manager: List of protocols supported expanded to include inet, wnet and xnet.
59     An overloaded version of IIFirebirdAPI.GetServiceManager also allows a non
60     default connection port to be specified.
61    
62 tony 107 FBINTF Change Log version (1.1-0) Sun, 07 Jan 2018 15:20:02 +0000
63    
64 tony 59 1. Fix issues with setting SQL Param values using SetAsString with Numeric types.
65     Scale is no longer ignored.
66    
67     2. Fix issues with setting SQL Param values using SetAsString with Date values
68     not in locale format but which are recognised by Firebird. Date values that
69     cannot be converted to a string using Pascal library are now passed through
70     to Firebird as Text Strings.
71    
72 tony 60 3. Lookup character set name by codepage amended to ensure that CP_UTF8 returns
73     UTF8 and not UNICODE_FSS.
74    
75     4. Charset ID problem. When using Firebird 3, with no default database character set
76     and a column has a non-default collation specified, an incorrect character set
77     id was being reported that could result in a 'division by zero' error when
78     used by IBX. This has now been fixed.
79    
80     5. Move GetCharsetName, CharSetID2CodePage, CodePage2CharSetID, CharSetName2CharSetID,
81     CharSetWidth from IFirebirdAPI to IAttachment. This is a better data model as
82     the character sets supported can be updated on a per database basis. That is
83     it is possible to add a (Firebird) user defined character set to a database.
84    
85     6. Add RegisterCharSet to IAttachment. This is used to register a user defined character
86     set supported by Firebird with the API.
87    
88 tony 61 7. Add missing isc_info_db_read_only to list of decoded Database Information items
89     in FBOutputBlock.pas and update test suite to include this item.
90 tony 60
91 tony 63 8. FB30Client: avoid always using "StartMultiple" when only a single database attachment.
92 tony 61
93 tony 68 9. Loading Windows fbclient.dll: when using the FIREBIRD variable to locate the client
94     library or finding it by disk location, the PATH environment variable is now also set to
95     include the FIREBIRD directory. This is to ensure that the correct dlls in the
96     firebird client library dependencies are loaded.
97 tony 63
98 tony 68 10. Testsuite: Ensure consistent UTF-8 output on Windows console.
99    
100     11. Testsuite: Update Windows script to include FPC 3.0.4 in search path.
101    
102     12. FB30Statement: Protect call to "Move" and avoid calling with a nil pointer
103    
104     13. FB30Statement: A check has been added to ensure that all SQL Parameters
105     have been given a value (including NULL). Previously, failing to set the
106     value of an SQL Parameter could give rise to unpredictable results or
107     an SQLDA error.
108    
109     14. FB30Statement/FB25Statement: Set SQLParam "modified" when string value set.
110    
111 tony 70 15. FBAttachment: Avoid string reference count error when processing an Ansistring
112     parameter in an array of const passed to IAttachment.OpenCursor, etc.
113 tony 68
114 tony 70 16. FBAttachment: Allow for WideString and UnicodeString parameters in an array
115     of const passed to IAttachment.OpenCursor, etc.
116    
117    
118 tony 56 FBINTF Change Log version (1.0-2) Sat, 04 Mar 2017 14:43:56 +0000
119 tony 47
120 tony 56 1. Change syntax to Mode Delphi
121    
122     2. Change all uses of string type to explicit AnsiString in order to ensure
123     compatibility between Delphi and FPC.
124    
125     3. Various syntax changes to ensure Delphi and FPC compilation including GUIDs
126     defined for each interface.
127    
128     4. Generics syntax variations for Delphi added
129    
130     5. PChar replaced with PByte expect where an actual string is being referenced,
131     where PAnsiChar is used instead.
132    
133     6. Review of type definitions in IBExternals to ensure Delphi compatibility
134    
135     7. Testsuite updated for Delphi
136    
137     FBINTF Change Log version (1.0-1) Fri, 24 Feb 2017 12:17:57 +0000
138    
139 tony 47 1. Limit maximum Blob segment read/write to MaxuShort. Avoids data loss with
140     large blobs and the FB3 API.
141    
142     2. Update Event Handling algorithm to avoid looping due to recreation of the
143     event block.
144    
145     3. Avoid invalid XSQLDA error when the only parameter is updated to null
146    
147     4. Array Handling: fix problem with text arrays with character set none. When the
148     DB connection has a default character set (e.g. UTF8), an error is raised by
149     Firebird if the space allocated is not enough to allow for transliteration, even
150     though it is not required for character set none.
151    
152     5. IBUtils: List of reserved words brought up-to-date
153    
154     6. Add ISQL style performance statistics collection to IStatement
155    
156     7. Add IFirebirdAPI.CreateDatabase variant to allow execution of user provided
157     CREATE DATABASE statement.
158    
159     8. Update SQL Statement parsing to allow for Array Dimensions. That is so that the ':' in
160     an array dimension is not mistaken for a named parameter prefix.
161    
162     9. Trim function no longer applied to result of GetAsString for SQL_TEXT
163     when Character set is octets. Avoids loss of non printable characters at start of string.
164    
165     10. Add function GetPerfStatistics to IStatement. This returns ISQL like performance
166     statistics for the last action. Requires use of procedure IStatement.EnableStatistics
167     to enable stats gathering.
168    
169     11. API Version information added as constants to IB.pas
170    
171     12. BlobMetaData character set id should now be the same as that given by IColumnMetaData.GetCharSetID
172    
173     13. Firebird Character set "NONE" now interpreted as codepage CP_ACP.
174
