1 tony 263 FBINTF Change Log version (1.1-3) Wed, 05 Dec 2018 14:28:10 +0000
2 tony 238
3     1. DARWIN only syntax error: fix missing semi-colon in TFBClientAPI.LoadIBLibrary
4    
5 tony 263 2. Restrict IsMultiThread check to Unix only for compatibility with
6     https://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=30535
7    
8     3. New SQL Tokeniser added to IBUtils. This is used to pre-process SQL with
9     named parameters and is intended to avoid problems with (e.g.) Execute Block
10     and processing internal parameters as statement parameters.
11    
12     4. New interface IFirebirdLibrary provides access to the underlying firebird DLL
13     or shared object. Available via a new member (GetFBLibrary) of IFirebirdAPI.
14    
15     5. New function added to IB.pas
16    
17     function LoadFBLibrary(aLibPathName: string): IFirebirdLibrary
18    
19     This allows a Firebird Library to be loaded from an explicit path. use the
20     IFirebirdLibrary.GetFirebirdAPI member function to get the Firebird API using
21     the library. It is possible to load Firebird libraries from different locations
22     simultaneously, each with a distinct IFirebirdAPI.
23    
24 tony 233 FBINTF Change Log version (1.1-2) Mon, 16 Apr 2018 09:30:32 +0100
25 tony 59
26 tony 209 1. Firebird.pas: {$OBJECTCHECKS OFF} added to file to avoid runtime error when
27     program compiled with -CR command line switch.
28    
29     2. IServiceManager additions (informational):
30     function getProtocol: TProtocol;
31     function getPortNo: AnsiString;
32    
33     3. IServiceManager improved error handling. Interfaces changed:
34     function Start(Request: ISRB; RaiseExceptionOnError: boolean=true): boolean;
35     function Query(SQPB: ISQPB; Request: ISRB; RaiseExceptionOnError: boolean=true) :IServiceQueryResults; overload;
36     function Query(Request: ISRB; RaiseExceptionOnError: boolean=true) :IServiceQueryResults; overload;
37    
38     4. IAttachment addition (informational)
39     function GetSecurityDatabase: AnsiString;
40    
41     5. IStatement: performance counters now updated after each Fetch. GetPerfStatistics
42     thus now returns accumulated stats for a select statement from opening a cursor
43     up to the last fetch.
44    
45     6. DARWIN: uloadlibrary.inc bug fix. Many thanks to Luigi Naimi for correcting
46     the problem.
47    
48     7. Type change: "TPerfCounters = array[TPerfStats] of Int64". Note "Int64"
49     replaces deprecated "comp" type.
50    
51 tony 217 10. Testsuite Test10 updated to include thread synchronisation for event reporting.
52 tony 209
53 tony 231 11. URL Connection Strings: inet4 and inet6 now recognised.
54 tony 217
55 tony 231 12. IBUtils: Parse and Make Connect String now recognise URL style loopback syntax.
56    
57 tony 233 13. IAttachment.CharSetName2CharSetID is now performed case insensitive.
58 tony 231
59 tony 233
60 tony 209 FBINTF Change Log version (1.1-1) Tue, 27 Feb 2018 16:51:16 +0000
61    
62 tony 107 1. IBUtils.QuoteIdentifierIfNeeded: Add check for space character.
63    
64 tony 109 2. IAttachment: add two new methods
65     function HasDefaultCharSet: boolean;
66     function GetDefaultCharSetID: integer;
67    
68     These return, respectively, true if a connection default character set was
69 tony 117 specified and the character set id of the connection default character set.
70     The DefaultCharSetID is cached when the connection is opened and hence does not
71     require a database lookup.
72 tony 109
73 tony 110 3. Avoid exception when a text blob is a stored procedure parameter.
74 tony 109
75 tony 111 4. Update test suite to include a test for a stored proc returning a text blob.
76    
77 tony 117 5. IAttachment: add
78     function GetRemoteProtocol: AnsiString;
79     function GetODSMajorVersion: integer;
80     function GetODSMinorVersion: integer;
81 tony 143 function GetAuthenticationMethod: AnsiString;
82 tony 117
83     These results are cached when the connection is opened and hence do not
84     require a database lookup.
85    
86     6. IAttachment: add "function GetConnectString: AnsiString;" This returns the
87     connect string used to create/connect to the database.
88    
89     7. IAttachment: Create Database using SQL statement. The username and password
90     are now extracted and used to populate a DPB made available via IAttachment.getDPB.
91     It is now possible to use IAttachment disconnect/connect to reconnect to
92     a database for which the initial connection was established by a create
93 tony 120 database sql statement. Available in FPC only.
94 tony 117
95     8. Update Test 1 to test 5, 6 and 7 above.
96    
97     9. IBUtils code tidy up.
98    
99 tony 143 10. Parameter Block interfaces "find" method. As documented, this should have
100     returned a nil interface when the item could not be found. Instead, an empty
101     interface item was returned. "Find" now works as documented and will return
102     a nil interface if the item cannot be found.
103    
104     11. DBInformation: support added for isc_info_active_tran_count and isc_info_creation_date.
105    
106     12. DBInformation: New interfaces: IDIRB and IDIRBItem added to support DB Information
107     requests with additional parameters. This is to enable support for fb_info_page_contents
108     (return of page contents). Response to fb_info_page_contents returned as
109     a string with code page CP_NONE.
110    
111     13. DBInformation: Support for fb_info_pages_used and fb_info_pages_free added, plus
112     test suite updated.
113    
114     14. DBInformation: Support for fb_info_crypt_key (Firebird 3.0.3 onwards) added as
115     a string type, and fb_info_conn_flags (Firebird 3.0.3 onwards) added as an integer type.
116    
117     15. Service Manager: List of protocols supported expanded to include inet, wnet and xnet.
118     An overloaded version of IIFirebirdAPI.GetServiceManager also allows a non
119     default connection port to be specified.
120    
121 tony 107 FBINTF Change Log version (1.1-0) Sun, 07 Jan 2018 15:20:02 +0000
122    
123 tony 59 1. Fix issues with setting SQL Param values using SetAsString with Numeric types.
124     Scale is no longer ignored.
125    
126     2. Fix issues with setting SQL Param values using SetAsString with Date values
127     not in locale format but which are recognised by Firebird. Date values that
128     cannot be converted to a string using Pascal library are now passed through
129     to Firebird as Text Strings.
130    
131 tony 60 3. Lookup character set name by codepage amended to ensure that CP_UTF8 returns
132     UTF8 and not UNICODE_FSS.
133    
134     4. Charset ID problem. When using Firebird 3, with no default database character set
135     and a column has a non-default collation specified, an incorrect character set
136     id was being reported that could result in a 'division by zero' error when
137     used by IBX. This has now been fixed.
138    
139     5. Move GetCharsetName, CharSetID2CodePage, CodePage2CharSetID, CharSetName2CharSetID,
140     CharSetWidth from IFirebirdAPI to IAttachment. This is a better data model as
141     the character sets supported can be updated on a per database basis. That is
142     it is possible to add a (Firebird) user defined character set to a database.
143    
144     6. Add RegisterCharSet to IAttachment. This is used to register a user defined character
145     set supported by Firebird with the API.
146    
147 tony 61 7. Add missing isc_info_db_read_only to list of decoded Database Information items
148     in FBOutputBlock.pas and update test suite to include this item.
149 tony 60
150 tony 63 8. FB30Client: avoid always using "StartMultiple" when only a single database attachment.
151 tony 61
152 tony 68 9. Loading Windows fbclient.dll: when using the FIREBIRD variable to locate the client
153     library or finding it by disk location, the PATH environment variable is now also set to
154     include the FIREBIRD directory. This is to ensure that the correct dlls in the
155     firebird client library dependencies are loaded.
156 tony 63
157 tony 68 10. Testsuite: Ensure consistent UTF-8 output on Windows console.
158    
159     11. Testsuite: Update Windows script to include FPC 3.0.4 in search path.
160    
161     12. FB30Statement: Protect call to "Move" and avoid calling with a nil pointer
162    
163     13. FB30Statement: A check has been added to ensure that all SQL Parameters
164     have been given a value (including NULL). Previously, failing to set the
165     value of an SQL Parameter could give rise to unpredictable results or
166     an SQLDA error.
167    
168     14. FB30Statement/FB25Statement: Set SQLParam "modified" when string value set.
169    
170 tony 70 15. FBAttachment: Avoid string reference count error when processing an Ansistring
171     parameter in an array of const passed to IAttachment.OpenCursor, etc.
172 tony 68
173 tony 70 16. FBAttachment: Allow for WideString and UnicodeString parameters in an array
174     of const passed to IAttachment.OpenCursor, etc.
175    
176    
177 tony 56 FBINTF Change Log version (1.0-2) Sat, 04 Mar 2017 14:43:56 +0000
178 tony 47
179 tony 56 1. Change syntax to Mode Delphi
180    
181     2. Change all uses of string type to explicit AnsiString in order to ensure
182     compatibility between Delphi and FPC.
183    
184     3. Various syntax changes to ensure Delphi and FPC compilation including GUIDs
185     defined for each interface.
186    
187     4. Generics syntax variations for Delphi added
188    
189     5. PChar replaced with PByte expect where an actual string is being referenced,
190     where PAnsiChar is used instead.
191    
192     6. Review of type definitions in IBExternals to ensure Delphi compatibility
193    
194     7. Testsuite updated for Delphi
195    
196     FBINTF Change Log version (1.0-1) Fri, 24 Feb 2017 12:17:57 +0000
197    
198 tony 47 1. Limit maximum Blob segment read/write to MaxuShort. Avoids data loss with
199     large blobs and the FB3 API.
200    
201     2. Update Event Handling algorithm to avoid looping due to recreation of the
202     event block.
203    
204     3. Avoid invalid XSQLDA error when the only parameter is updated to null
205    
206     4. Array Handling: fix problem with text arrays with character set none. When the
207     DB connection has a default character set (e.g. UTF8), an error is raised by
208     Firebird if the space allocated is not enough to allow for transliteration, even
209     though it is not required for character set none.
210    
211     5. IBUtils: List of reserved words brought up-to-date
212    
213     6. Add ISQL style performance statistics collection to IStatement
214    
215     7. Add IFirebirdAPI.CreateDatabase variant to allow execution of user provided
216     CREATE DATABASE statement.
217    
218     8. Update SQL Statement parsing to allow for Array Dimensions. That is so that the ':' in
219     an array dimension is not mistaken for a named parameter prefix.
220    
221     9. Trim function no longer applied to result of GetAsString for SQL_TEXT
222     when Character set is octets. Avoids loss of non printable characters at start of string.
223    
224     10. Add function GetPerfStatistics to IStatement. This returns ISQL like performance
225     statistics for the last action. Requires use of procedure IStatement.EnableStatistics
226     to enable stats gathering.
227    
228     11. API Version information added as constants to IB.pas
229    
230     12. BlobMetaData character set id should now be the same as that given by IColumnMetaData.GetCharSetID
231    
232     13. Firebird Character set "NONE" now interpreted as codepage CP_ACP.
