3 > 1. Fix a problem with the SQL parameter parser that failed to recognise parameters
4 >   where the second character of the parameter name is a numeric.
5 >
6 > 2. New method for IAttachment: procedure getFBVersion(version: TStrings);
7 >   This returns the isc_version connection information as one or more lines.
8 >   This is the same information as returned by isql with the -z option.

12 >
13 > 1. DARWIN only syntax error: fix missing semi-colon in TFBClientAPI.LoadIBLibrary
14 >
15 > 2. Restrict IsMultiThread check to Unix only for compatibility with
16 >   https://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=30535
17 >
18 > 3. New SQL Tokeniser added to IBUtils. This is used to pre-process SQL with
19 >   named parameters and is intended to avoid problems with (e.g.) Execute Block
20 >   and processing internal parameters as statement parameters.
21 >
22 > 4. New interface IFirebirdLibrary provides access to the underlying firebird DLL
23 >   or shared object. Available via a new member (GetFBLibrary) of IFirebirdAPI.
24 >
25 > 5. New function added to IB.pas
26 >
27 >   function LoadFBLibrary(aLibPathName: string): IFirebirdLibrary
28 >
29 >   This allows a Firebird Library to be loaded from an explicit path. use the
30 >   IFirebirdLibrary.GetFirebirdAPI member function to get the Firebird API using
31 >   the library. It is possible to load Firebird libraries from different locations
32 >   simultaneously, each with a distinct IFirebirdAPI.

35 >
36 > 1. Firebird.pas: {$OBJECTCHECKS OFF} added to file to avoid runtime error when
37 >   program compiled with -CR command line switch.
38 >
39 > 2. IServiceManager additions (informational):
40 >    function getProtocol: TProtocol;
41 >    function getPortNo: AnsiString;
42 >
43 > 3. IServiceManager improved error handling. Interfaces changed:
44 >    function Start(Request: ISRB; RaiseExceptionOnError: boolean=true): boolean;
45 >    function Query(SQPB: ISQPB; Request: ISRB; RaiseExceptionOnError: boolean=true) :IServiceQueryResults; overload;
46 >    function Query(Request: ISRB; RaiseExceptionOnError: boolean=true) :IServiceQueryResults; overload;
47 >
48 > 4. IAttachment addition (informational)
49 >    function GetSecurityDatabase: AnsiString;
50 >
51 > 5. IStatement: performance counters now updated after each Fetch. GetPerfStatistics
52 >   thus now returns accumulated stats for a select statement from opening a cursor
53 >   up to the last fetch.
54 >
55 > 6. DARWIN: uloadlibrary.inc bug fix. Many thanks to Luigi Naimi for correcting
56 >   the problem.
57 >
58 > 7. Type change: "TPerfCounters = array[TPerfStats] of Int64". Note "Int64"
59 >   replaces deprecated "comp" type.
60 >
61 > 10. Testsuite Test10 updated to include thread synchronisation for event reporting.
62 >
63 > 11. URL Connection Strings: inet4 and inet6 now recognised.
64 >
65 > 12. IBUtils: Parse and Make Connect String now recognise URL style loopback syntax.
66 >
67 > 13. IAttachment.CharSetName2CharSetID is now performed case insensitive.
68 >
69 >
70 > FBINTF Change Log  version (1.1-1) Tue, 27 Feb 2018 16:51:16 +0000
71 >
72 > 1. IBUtils.QuoteIdentifierIfNeeded: Add check for space character.
73 >
74 > 2. IAttachment: add two new methods
75 >     function HasDefaultCharSet: boolean;
76 >     function GetDefaultCharSetID: integer;
77 >
78 >   These return, respectively, true if a connection default character set was
79 >   specified and the character set id of the connection default character set.
80 >   The DefaultCharSetID is cached when the connection is opened and hence does not
81 >   require a database lookup.
82 >
83 > 3. Avoid exception when a text blob is a stored procedure parameter.
84 >
85 > 4. Update test suite to include a test for a stored proc returning a text blob.
86 >
87 > 5. IAttachment: add
88 >      function GetRemoteProtocol: AnsiString;
89 >      function GetODSMajorVersion: integer;
90 >      function GetODSMinorVersion: integer;
91 >      function GetAuthenticationMethod: AnsiString;
92 >
93 >   These results are cached when the connection is opened and hence do not
94 >   require a database lookup.
95 >
96 > 6. IAttachment: add "function GetConnectString: AnsiString;" This returns the
97 >   connect string used to create/connect to the database.
98 >
99 > 7. IAttachment: Create Database using SQL statement. The username and password
100 >   are now extracted and used to populate a DPB made available via IAttachment.getDPB.
101 >   It is now possible to use IAttachment disconnect/connect to reconnect to
102 >   a database for which the initial connection was established by a create
103 >   database sql statement. Available in FPC only.
104 >
105 > 8. Update Test 1 to test 5, 6 and 7 above.
106 >
107 > 9. IBUtils code tidy up.
108 >
109 > 10. Parameter Block interfaces "find" method. As documented, this should have
110 >   returned a nil interface when the item could not be found. Instead, an empty
111 >   interface item was returned. "Find" now works as documented and will return
112 >   a nil interface if the item cannot be found.
113 >
114 > 11. DBInformation: support added for isc_info_active_tran_count and isc_info_creation_date.
115 >
116 > 12. DBInformation: New interfaces: IDIRB and IDIRBItem added to support DB Information
117 >    requests with additional parameters. This is to enable support for fb_info_page_contents
118 >    (return of page contents). Response to fb_info_page_contents returned as
119 >    a string with code page CP_NONE.
120 >
121 > 13. DBInformation: Support for fb_info_pages_used and fb_info_pages_free added, plus
122 >    test suite updated.
123 >
124 > 14. DBInformation: Support for fb_info_crypt_key (Firebird 3.0.3 onwards) added as
125 >    a string type, and fb_info_conn_flags (Firebird 3.0.3 onwards) added as an integer type.
126 >
127 > 15. Service Manager: List of protocols supported expanded to include inet, wnet and xnet.
128 >    An overloaded version of IIFirebirdAPI.GetServiceManager also allows a non
129 >    default connection port to be specified.

132  
133   1. Fix issues with setting SQL Param values using SetAsString with Numeric types.
134     Scale is no longer ignored.
# Line 24 | Line 154 | FBINTF Change Log  version             (
154   6. Add RegisterCharSet to IAttachment. This is used to register a user defined character
155     set supported by Firebird with the API.
156  
157 + 7. Add missing isc_info_db_read_only to list of decoded Database Information items
158 +   in FBOutputBlock.pas and update test suite to include this item.
159 +
160 + 8. FB30Client: avoid always using "StartMultiple" when only a single database attachment.
161 +
162 + 9. Loading Windows fbclient.dll: when using the FIREBIRD variable to locate the client
163 +   library or finding it by disk location, the PATH environment variable is now also set to
164 +   include the FIREBIRD directory. This is to ensure that the correct dlls in the
165 +   firebird client library dependencies are loaded.
166 +
167 + 10. Testsuite: Ensure consistent UTF-8 output on Windows console.
168 +
169 + 11. Testsuite: Update Windows script to include FPC 3.0.4 in search path.
170 +
171 + 12. FB30Statement: Protect call to "Move" and avoid calling with a nil pointer
172 +
173 + 13. FB30Statement: A check has been added to ensure that all SQL Parameters
174 +    have been given a value (including NULL). Previously, failing to set the
175 +    value of an SQL Parameter could give rise to unpredictable results or
176 +    an SQLDA error.
177 +
178 + 14. FB30Statement/FB25Statement: Set SQLParam "modified" when string value set.
179 +
180 + 15. FBAttachment: Avoid string reference count error when processing an Ansistring
181 +    parameter in an array of const passed to IAttachment.OpenCursor, etc.
182 +
183 + 16. FBAttachment: Allow for WideString and UnicodeString parameters in an array
184 +    of const passed to IAttachment.OpenCursor, etc.
185 +
