2 tony 59
3 tony 209 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.
27    
28    
29     FBINTF Change Log version (1.1-1) Tue, 27 Feb 2018 16:51:16 +0000
30    
31 tony 107 1. IBUtils.QuoteIdentifierIfNeeded: Add check for space character.
32    
33 tony 109 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 tony 117 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 tony 109
42 tony 110 3. Avoid exception when a text blob is a stored procedure parameter.
43 tony 109
44 tony 111 4. Update test suite to include a test for a stored proc returning a text blob.
45    
46 tony 117 5. IAttachment: add
47     function GetRemoteProtocol: AnsiString;
48     function GetODSMajorVersion: integer;
49     function GetODSMinorVersion: integer;
50 tony 143 function GetAuthenticationMethod: AnsiString;
51 tony 117
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 tony 120 database sql statement. Available in FPC only.
63 tony 117
64     8. Update Test 1 to test 5, 6 and 7 above.
65    
66     9. IBUtils code tidy up.
67    
68 tony 143 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 tony 107 FBINTF Change Log version (1.1-0) Sun, 07 Jan 2018 15:20:02 +0000
91    
92 tony 59 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 tony 60 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 tony 61 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 tony 60
119 tony 63 8. FB30Client: avoid always using "StartMultiple" when only a single database attachment.
120 tony 61
121 tony 68 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 tony 63
126 tony 68 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 tony 70 15. FBAttachment: Avoid string reference count error when processing an Ansistring
140     parameter in an array of const passed to IAttachment.OpenCursor, etc.
141 tony 68
142 tony 70 16. FBAttachment: Allow for WideString and UnicodeString parameters in an array
143     of const passed to IAttachment.OpenCursor, etc.
144

146 tony 56 FBINTF Change Log version (1.0-2) Sat, 04 Mar 2017 14:43:56 +0000
147 tony 47
148 tony 56 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 tony 47 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.
