1 + FBINTF Change Log  version          (1.4-0 Build 13107) Wed, 19 Jan 2022 12:08:21 +0000
2 +
3 + 1. Support package fbudr added for support of User Defined Routines (UDRs), and package
4 +   fbudrtestbed for client side debugging of UDR libraries.
5 +
6 + 2. Package layout changed with introduction of udr support. IB*.pas files moved from
7 +    root directory to "client". IBHeader move to "Client".
8 +
9 + 3. Delphi packages: all packages now compile .dcp and .bpi files to either
10 +   fbintf\Win32\Debug or fbintf\Win64\Debug by default. Please remove any pre-existing
11 +   fbintf.dcp and fbintf.bpi files from other locations.
12 +
13 + 4. Client side journaling support added. Interface changes
14 +   IAttachment
15 +    function JournalingActive: boolean;
16 +    function GetJournalOptions: TJournalOptions;
17 +    function StartJournaling(aJournalLogFile: AnsiString): integer; overload;
18 +    function StartJournaling(aJournalLogFile: AnsiString; Options: TJournalOptions): integer; overload;
19 +    function StartJournaling(S: TStream; Options: TJournalOptions): integer; overload;
20 +    procedure StopJournaling(RetainJournal: boolean);
21 +
22 + 5. Transactions may now be given a local transaction name:
23 +   IFirebirdAPI
24 +     function StartTransaction(Attachments: array of IAttachment;
25 +             TPB: array of byte; DefaultCompletion: TTransactionCompletion=taCommit): ITransaction; overload;
26 +             TPB: array of byte; DefaultCompletion: TTransactionCompletion=taCommit;
27 +             aName: AnsiString=''): ITransaction; overload;
28 +     function StartTransaction(Attachments: array of IAttachment;
29 +             TPB: ITPB; DefaultCompletion: TTransactionCompletion=taCommit): ITransaction; overload;
30 +             TPB: ITPB; DefaultCompletion: TTransactionCompletion=taCommit;
31 +             aName: AnsiString=''): ITransaction; overload;
32 +
33 +   IAttachment
34 +    function StartTransaction(TPB: array of byte; DefaultCompletion: TTransactionCompletion=taCommit): ITransaction; overload;
35 +    function StartTransaction(TPB: ITPB; DefaultCompletion: TTransactionCompletion=taCommit): ITransaction; overload;
36 +    function StartTransaction(TPB: array of byte;
37 +                              DefaultCompletion: TTransactionCompletion=taCommit;
38 +                              aName: AnsiString=''): ITransaction; overload;
39 +    function StartTransaction(TPB: ITPB;
40 +                              DefaultCompletion: TTransactionCompletion=taCommit;
41 +                              aName: AnsiString=''): ITransaction; overload;
42 +
43 +  ITransaction
44 +    function GetTransactionName: AnsiString;
45 +    procedure SetTransactionName(aValue: AnsiString);
46 +
47 + 6. Additional Transaction information
48 +     ITPB.function AsText: AnsiString; {Returns TPB as a text string}
49 +
50 +   ITransaction
51 +     function GetDefaultCompletion: TTransactionCompletion;
52 +     function GetJournalingActive(attachment: IAttachment): boolean; {attachment must be specified when multi-database transaction}
53 +
54 + 7. New IAttachment helper functions
55 +     function HasTable(aTableName: AnsiString): boolean;
56 +     function HasFunction(aFunctionName: AnsiString): boolean;
57 +     function HasProcedure(aProcName: AnsiString): boolean;
58 +     function GetAttachmentID: integer;
59 +     function GetCharSetID: integer;
60 +
61 + 8. IStatement: if the BatchRowLimit is set to maxint, the maximum possible buffer size
62 +   will be allocted for batch operations.
63 +
64 + 9. IStatement, IColumnMetaData and ISQLParam all now consistently provide:
65 +    function GetStatement: IStatement;
66 +    function GetTransaction: ITransaction;
67 +    function GetAttachment: IAttachment;
68 +
69 + 10. Internal: a more disciplined approach to the handling of Firebird.IReferenceCounted
70 +    interfaces.
71 +
72 + 11. New interface type: IFBNumeric. IFBNumeric is implemented in the unit FBNumeric
73 +    and concentrates all handling of Fixed Point numbers. New ISQLItem and ISQLParam
74 +    functions getAsNumeric and setAsNumeric allow for direct retrival and manipulation
75 +    of numerics without loss of precision.
76 +
77 + 12. TryStrToNumeric and NumericToDouble moved from IBUtils to FBNumeric.
78 +
79 + 13. ISQLParams new method "Clear"
80 +
81 + 14. Connection Info (e.g. ODS Version, Remote Protocol) now retrieved on first
82 +    request rather than on attachment connect.
83 +
84 + 15. IStatus.IBDataBaseErrorMessages now defaults to [ShowIBMessage]. This reflects the
85 +    fact that SQLCodes are soon to be deprecated. In the future, the other options
86 +    will be silently ignored if SQLCode support is not present in the Firebird
87 +    Client library.
88 +
89 + 16. ITransaction changes Rollback and Commit from procedures to functions:
90 +      function Commit(Force: boolean=false): TTrCompletionState;
91 +      function Rollback(Force: boolean=false): TTrCompletionState;
92 +
93 +    Specifically, this is to allow the functions to report back a failed commit or
94 +    rollback when Force = true. In the case, the transaction handle has been
95 +    released, while the transaction remains in limbo.
96 +
97 + 17. IAttachment ExecImmediate, ExecuteSQL and OpenCursorAtStart.
98 +    When the transaction parameters are provided as an array of const and the
99 +    statement fails, the transaction is rolledback (forced) before the exception
100 +    is raised.
101 +
102 +
103 +
104 + FBINTF Change Log  version          (1.3-3 Build 12935) Mon, 06 Dec 2021 23:17:13 +0000
105 +
106 + 1. Fix compile error with fpc trunk (3.3.1 and later), due to type change to tzname in "unix" unit.
107 +
108 + 2. Remove constraint in IAttachment.HasScollableCursors that returned false when
109 +   using remote protocol. Scrollable cursors with remote database expected to
110 +   be support for Firebird 4.0.1 onwards. Note: Firebird 4.0.0 will return
111 +   a not supported error.
112 +
113 + 3. IStatement: new function;
114 +    TStatementFlag = (stHasCursor,stRepeatExecute,stScrollable);
115 +    TStatementFlags = set of TStatementFlag;
116 +    function GetFlags: TStatementFlags;
117 +
118 + 4. Revised behaviour for IStatement.ExecuteQuery in order to preserve backwards
119 +   compatibility.
120 +   In Firebird 5, Update..Returning may returns multiple rows and hence the statemen
121 +   type changes from ExecProcedure to Select. So that ExecuteQuery can continue
122 +   to be used with Update...Retruning statements that return a singleton row,
123 +   instead of raising an exception when ExecuteQuery is used with a (SELECT) statement,
124 +   it will open the cursor and return the first row only.
125 +
126 + 5. ITransaction: new functions:
127 +    function GetIsReadOnly: boolean;
128 +    function GetTransactionID: integer;
129 +    function GetTrInformation(Requests: array of byte): ITrInformation; overload;
130 +    function GetTrInformation(Request: byte): ITrInformation; overload;
131 +
132 +   The latter two return the Transaction Information block. The first two extract
133 +   information the Transaction Information block
134 +
135 + 6. New function TSQLTokeniser.ReadCharacters
136 +   Used internally.
137 +
138 + 7. IStatement: GetProcessedSQL bug fix. No longer raises and error if SQL contains
139 +   parameter placeholders instead of named parameters.
140 +
141 + 8. ITransaction (Firebird 3 and later): An exception raised when freeing an underlying
142 +   transaction handle is now ignored if Rollback/Commit is called with Force=true
143 +
144 + 9. Tidy up of exception handling code. Under the legacy API, fb_interpret is now
145 +   used to get an IBError Message instead of isc_interprete.
146 +
147 + 10. Internal tidyup. Native code now used for decoding integers and the events
148 +    buffer. Avoids dependencies on fbclient functions isc_portable_integer,
149 +    isc_event_block and isc_event_counts.
150 +
151 + 11. New IAttachment function
152 +     function GetAttachmentID: integer;
153 +
154 + 12. Internal changes to TFBClientAPI, TFBAttachment and TFBTransaction and TFB30
155 +    subclasses to enable UDR support.
156 +
157 + FBINTF Change Log  version          (1.3-2 Build 12889) Sun, 24 Oct 2021 13:49:28 +0100
158 +
159 + 1. TFBClientAPI.GetProcAddr. Add check for nil reference.
160 +
161 + 2. IStatement: new methods:
162 +    procedure SetStaleReferenceChecks(Enable:boolean); {default true}
163 +    function GetStaleReferenceChecks: boolean;
164 +
165 +   In previous versions, stale reference checks were always enabled. This allows the
166 +   user to disable them on a per statement basis. Note this can risk out-of-date
167 +   statement BLR. See User Guide.
168 +
169 + 3. IBUtils: TSQLwithNamedParamsTokeniser now recognises a CASE...END block within a
170 +   stored procedure and hence avoids replacing named parameters within a containing
171 +   BEGIN..END block.
172 +
173 + 4. ISQLParam: using a string value to set an integer field with a scale factor of
174 +   zero is now treated as a special case to avoid the risk of floating point
175 +   rounding errors affecting pure integers.
176 +
177 + 5. ISQLParam:  Review and tidy-up of SetAsString for numeric types.
178 +
179 + 6. ISQLParam is now subclassed from IParamMetaData, which provides access to the mutable
180 +   SQL Parameter metadata (methods moved from ISQLParam).
181 +
182 + 7. ISQLParam: new method
183 +     function getColMetadata: IParamMetaData;
184 +   This instance of IParamMetaData returns the original column metadata which is unmutable.
185 +   Note: ISQLParam metadata can change after a parameter value has been set e.g when
186 +   setting a VARCHAR column to an integer value.
187 +
188 + 8. IStatement: can now set cursor name when opening a cursor. New overloaded method:
189 +    procedure Prepare(CursorName: AnsiString; aTransaction: ITransaction=nil); overload;
190 +   also IAttachment:
191 +    function Prepare(transaction: ITransaction; sql: AnsiString; aSQLDialect: integer; CursorName: AnsiString=''): IStatement; overload;
192 +    function Prepare(transaction: ITransaction; sql: AnsiString; CursorName: AnsiString=''): IStatement; overload;
193 +    function PrepareWithNamedParameters(transaction: ITransaction; sql: AnsiString;
194 +                       aSQLDialect: integer; GenerateParamNames: boolean=false;
195 +                       CaseSensitiveParams: boolean = false; CursorName: AnsiString=''): IStatement; overload;
196 +    function PrepareWithNamedParameters(transaction: ITransaction; sql: AnsiString;
197 +                       GenerateParamNames: boolean=false;
198 +                       CaseSensitiveParams: boolean = false; CursorName: AnsiString=''): IStatement; overload;
199 +
200 + 9. Support for scrollable cursors added. New/updated methods:
201 +   IAttachment:
202 +    function HasScollableCursors: boolean;
203 +    function OpenCursor(transaction: ITransaction; sql: AnsiString; aSQLDialect: integer;
204 +                             Scrollable: boolean=false): IResultSet; overload;
205 +    function OpenCursor(transaction: ITransaction; sql: AnsiString; Scrollable: boolean=false): IResultSet; overload;
206 +    function OpenCursor(transaction: ITransaction; sql: AnsiString; aSQLDialect: integer; Scrollable: boolean;
207 +                             params: array of const): IResultSet; overload;
208 +    function OpenCursor(transaction: ITransaction; sql: AnsiString; Scrollable: boolean=false;
209 +                             params: array of const): IResultSet; overload;
210 +    function OpenCursorAtStart(transaction: ITransaction; sql: AnsiString; aSQLDialect: integer; Scrollable: boolean;
211 +                             params: array of const): IResultSet; overload;
212 +    function OpenCursorAtStart(transaction: ITransaction; sql: AnsiString; aSQLDialect: integer;
213 +                             Scrollable: boolean=false): IResultSet; overload;
214 +    function OpenCursorAtStart(transaction: ITransaction; sql: AnsiString; Scrollable: boolean=false): IResultSet; overload;
215 +    function OpenCursorAtStart(transaction: ITransaction; sql: AnsiString; Scrollable: boolean;
216 +                             params: array of const): IResultSet; overload;
217 +    function OpenCursorAtStart(sql: AnsiString; Scrollable: boolean=false): IResultSet; overload;
218 +    function OpenCursorAtStart(sql: AnsiString; Scrollable: boolean;
219 +                             params: array of const): IResultSet; overload;
220 +   IStatement:
221 +     function OpenCursor(Scrollable: boolean; CursorName: AnsiString =''; aTransaction: ITransaction=nil): IResultSet; overload;
222 +   IResultSet:
223 +    function FetchPrior: boolean; {fetch previous record}
224 +    function FetchFirst:boolean; {fetch first record}
225 +    function FetchLast: boolean; {fetch last record}
226 +    function FetchAbsolute(position: Integer): boolean; {fetch record by its absolute position in result set}
227 +    function FetchRelative(offset: Integer): boolean; {fetch record by position relative to current}
228 +    function IsBof: boolean;
229 +
230 + 10. IArray: tidyup of SetAsString method to ensure correct handling of fixed point numbers.
231 +
232 + 11. IBUtils: TSQLTokeniser. CRLF now combined by low level parser into sqltEOL token. This
233 +    may be noticeable when a line separator occurs inside quoted text. The quoted text
234 +    output by the tokeniser will now use the platform specific lineEnding regardless
235 +    of whether the input uses the CRLF or LF as a line separator.
236 +
237 + 12. IStatement, IResultsSet: Support for scrollable cursors added (note: local databases only)
238 +
239 +
240 + FBINTF Change Log  version          (1.3-1 Build 12776) Mon, 23 Aug 2021 11:09:33 +0100
241 +
242 + 1. Integer decodes in information blocks (e.g. IDBInfoItem) widened from 32 bit to 64-bit integers.
243 +
244 + 2. Support for inline blob encoding. Blob values pass using the "SetAsString" method
245 +   will now be encoded inline (i.e. as part of the parameter buffer) if they are
246 +   shorter than a pre-set limit. Longer values continue to be saved as blobs as a
247 +   separate server interaction. This is intended as a performance optimisation.
248 +
249 +   The pre-set limit defaults to 8192 bytes and can be inspected/modified using the new
250 +   IAttachment interface functions:
251 +
252 +    function GetInlineBlobLimit: integer;
253 +    procedure SetInlineBlobLimit(limit: integer);
254 +
255 + 3. Support for Firebird 4 IBatch interface added. This is largely transparent to the API
256 +   user as the functionality is embedded in the implementation of the IStatement
257 +   interface. Three new functions are defined:
258 +
259 +    procedure AddToBatch;
260 +    function ExecuteBatch(aTransaction: ITransaction=nil): IBatchCompletion;
261 +    procedure CancelBatch;
262 +    function GetBatchCompletion: IBatchCompletion;
263 +    function GetBatchRowLimit: integer;
264 +    procedure SetBatchRowLimit(aLimit: integer);
265 +
266 +   Also
267 +
268 +    function IsInBatchMode: boolean;        {true after call to execute(eaDefer)}
269 +    function HasBatchMode: boolean;         {true if and only if IBatch Supported}
270 +
271 +   For more information see the User Guide.
272 +
273 + 4. Default error message contents. Now aligned with User Guide section 10.2 i.e. error messages
274 +   provided with the EIBInterBaseError now include all three parts.
275 +
276 + 5. Firebird.pas and include files updated to Firebird 4.0.0
277 +
278 + 6. New IStatement method: function GetSQLStatementTypeName: AnsiString;
279 +   Returns SQL Statement type as a text string;
280 +
281 + 7. ISQLData.AsInteger and AsInt64 now use "Round" to convert a float field to
282 +   an integer instead of "trunc". This is for compatibility with TFloatField.AsInteger.
283 +
284 + FBINTF Change Log  version          (1.2-1 Build 12552) Wed, 09 Jun 2021 13:05:40 +0100
285 +
286 + 1. Big fix for Firebird 4.0. A internal change in Firebird 4.0.0 from RC1 flushed out a
287 +   typo in FB30Statement.pas that caused an unknown parameter error.
288 +
289 + FBINTF Change Log  version          (1.2-0 Build 12520) Fri, 19 Feb 2021 13:27:23 +0000
290 +
291 + 1. Imported (Firebird) constants updated for Firebird 4.
292 +
293 + 2. Firebird.pas from Firebird 4 integrated into source code tree.
294 +
295 + 3. Added Support for TIMETAMP WITH TIME ZONE and TIME WITH TIME ZONE data types.
296 +
297 + 4. Added Support for SQL_DEC16, SQL_DEC34 and extended NUMERIC precision.
298 +
299 + 5. New unit 'FBClientLib.pas' added and provides new interface IFBIMasterProvider.
300 +   QueryInterface may be used to coerce this interface from IFirebirdAPI. The
301 +   interface provides a single method "function GetIMasterIntf: IMaster". This provides
302 +   type safe access to the Firebird IMaster interface and avoids the need to turn
303 +   off object checks when coercing "function GetIMaster: TObject" to IMaster.
304 +
305 + 6. New IFirebirdAPI Calls:
306 +    function HasLocalTZDB: boolean;
307 +    function HasTimeZoneSupport: boolean;
308 +    function HasExtendedTZSupport: boolean;
309 +    procedure SQLDecFloatEncode(aValue: tBCD; SQLType: cardinal; bufptr: PByte);
310 +    function SQLDecFloatDecode(SQLType: cardinal; scale: integer; bufptr: PByte): tBCD;
311 +
312 + 7. New IAttachment Calls:
313 +    function HasDecFloatSupport: boolean;
314 +    function GetTimeZoneServices: ITimeZoneServices;
315 +    function HasTimeZoneSupport: boolean;
316 +
317 + 8. New Interface ITimeZoneServices.
318 +
319 + 9. New ISQLData API Calls:
320 +    procedure GetAsDateTime(var aDateTime: TDateTime; var dstOffset: smallint; var aTimezoneID: TFBTimeZoneID); overload;
321 +    procedure GetAsDateTime(var aDateTime: TDateTime; var dstOffset: smallint; var aTimezone: AnsiString); overload;
322 +    procedure GetAsTime(var aTime: TDateTime; var dstOffset: smallint; var aTimezoneID: TFBTimeZoneID; OnDate: TDateTime); overload;
323 +    procedure GetAsTime(var aTime: TDateTime; var dstOffset: smallint; var aTimezone: AnsiString; OnDate: TDateTime); overload;
324 +    function GetAsUTCDateTime: TDateTime;
325 +    function GetAsBCD: tBCD;
326 +
327 + 10. New ISQLParam API Calls
328 +    procedure GetAsDateTime(var aDateTime: TDateTime; var dstOffset: smallint; var aTimezoneID: TFBTimeZoneID); overload;
329 +    procedure GetAsDateTime(var aDateTime: TDateTime; var dstOffset: smallint; var aTimezone: AnsiString); overload;
330 +    procedure GetAsTime(var aTime: TDateTime; var dstOffset: smallint; var aTimezoneID: TFBTimeZoneID; OnDate: TDateTime); overload;
331 +    procedure GetAsTime(var aTime: TDateTime; var dstOffset: smallint; var aTimezone: AnsiString; OnDate: TDateTime); overload;
332 +    function GetAsUTCDateTime: TDateTime;
333 +    function GetAsBCD: tBCD;
334 +    function GetStatement: IStatement;
335 +    function GetTransaction: ITransaction;
336 +    procedure SetAsTime(aValue: TDateTime; OnDate: TDateTime; aTimeZoneID: TFBTimeZoneID); overload;
337 +    procedure SetAsTime(aValue: TDateTime; OnDate: TDateTime; aTimeZone: AnsiString); overload;
338 +    procedure SetAsDateTime(aValue: TDateTime; aTimeZoneID: TFBTimeZoneID); overload;
339 +    procedure SetAsDateTime(aValue: TDateTime; aTimeZone: AnsiString); overload;
340 +    procedure SetAsUTCDateTime(aUTCTime: TDateTime);
341 +    procedure SetAsBcd(aValue: tBCD);
342 +
343 + 11. New IArray API Calls
344 +    procedure GetAsDateTime(index: array of integer; var aDateTime: TDateTime; var dstOffset: smallint; var aTimezoneID: TFBTimeZoneID); overload;
345 +    procedure GetAsDateTime(index: array of integer; var aDateTime: TDateTime; var dstOffset: smallint; var aTimezone: AnsiString); overload;
346 +    procedure GetAsTime(index: array of integer; var aTime: TDateTime; var dstOffset: smallint; var aTimezoneID: TFBTimeZoneID; OnDate: TDateTime); overload;
347 +    procedure GetAsTime(index: array of integer; var aTime: TDateTime; var dstOffset: smallint; var aTimezone: AnsiString; OnDate: TDateTime); overload;
348 +    function GetAsUTCDateTime(index: array of integer): TDateTime;
349 +    procedure SetAsDateTime(index: array of integer; aValue: TDateTime; aTimeZoneID: TFBTimeZoneID); overload;
350 +    procedure SetAsDateTime(index: array of integer; aValue: TDateTime; aTimeZone: AnsiString); overload;
351 +    procedure SetAsTime(index: array of integer; aValue: TDateTime; OnDate: TDateTime; aTimeZoneID: TFBTimeZoneID); overload;
352 +    procedure SetAsTime(index: array of integer; aValue: TDateTime; OnDate: TDateTime; aTimeZone: AnsiString); overload;
353 +
354 + 12. Utility functions in IBUtils
355 +    function ParseDateTimeTZString(aDateTimeStr: Ansistring; var aDateTime: TDateTime;
356 +              var aTimezone: AnsiString; aFormatSettings: TFormatSettings; TimeOnly: boolean=false): boolean;
357 +    procedure FBDecodeTime(aTime: TDateTime; var Hour, Minute, Second: word; var DeciMillisecond: cardinal);
358 +    function FBEncodeTime(Hour, Minute, Second, DeciMillisecond: cardinal): TDateTime;
359 +    function FBFormatDateTime(fmt: AnsiString; aDateTime: TDateTime): AnsiString;
360 +    function FormatTimeZoneOffset(EffectiveTimeOffsetMins: integer): AnsiString;
361 +    function DecodeTimeZoneOffset(TZOffset: AnsiString; var dstOffset: integer): boolean;
362 +
363 + 13. IDPB, ITPB and ISPB: new interface method
364 +      function AddByTypeName(ParamTypeName: AnsiString): IDPBItem/ITPBItem/ISPBItem;
365 +    This is used to add a parameter block item by the string equivalent of its
366 +    symbolic type name. e.g. DPB.AddByTypeName('isc_dpb_user_name').AsString := '...'
367 +
368 + 14. IDPBItem/ITPBItem/ISPBItem: new interface method:
369 +      function getParamTypeName: AnsiString;
370 +
371 + 15. fb_shutdown now called before unloading Firebird library. This can avoid a
372 +     SIGEVENT error when a programme using the embeded server is unloaded.
373 +
374 + FBINTF Change Log  version          (1.1-6 Build 12237) Tue, 21 Jul 2020 08:54:21 +0100
375 +
376 + 1. GetImplementationVersion now correctly returns '3.0' for Firebird 3 API
377 +   with a Firebrid 3 client library.
378 +
379 + 2. Linux Only: FIREBIRD environment variable is now checked when loading the client library.
380 +    If a client library path is not explicitly provided and the FIREBIRD environment
381 +    variable is set then the directory given by this variable and any 'lib' subdirectory
382 +    are searched for the Firebird client library. Only if none is found, is the default
383 +    client library used.
384 +
385 + 3.  IUtil.FormatStatus now used to format error messages when using new API
386 +
387 + 4.  Fixed Array SDL: array_desc_scale now correctly encoded as a signed integer.
388 +
389 + 5.  SQL_TEXT handling changed. When the value of an SQL_TEXT (i.e. fixed width string) column is
390 +    returned using GetAsString and the string codepage is UTF8, the string is truncated so
391 +    that the byte length corresponds to the number of characters specified for the column.
392 +    SQL_TEXT strings are no longer automatically trimmed to remove all trailing white space. This is
393 +    correct behaviour but may affect some implementations that relied upon automatic
394 +    trimming of trailing white space.
395 +
396 + 6.  New IFirebirdAPI Calls:
397 +      function GetClientMajor: integer;
398 +      function GetClientMinor: integer;
399 +
400 + 7.  IColumnMetaData and IArrayMetaData: new method
401 +      function GetCharSetWidth: integer;

403 + FBINTF Change Log  version          (1.1-5 Build 12022) Fri, 17 Apr 2020 10:35:55 +0100
404 +
405 + 1. ISQLParams.GetHasCaseSensitiveParams added. Returns true if param names are
406 +   case sensitive
407 +
408 + 2. Single line SQL comments starting with '--' are now recognised by SQL Parser.
409 +
410 + 3. New API Calls:
411 +        IColumnMetaData.GetStatement
412 +        IColumnMetaData.GetTransaction
413 +        ISQLData.GetStrDataLength
414 +        IResults.GetStatement
415 +        IAttachment.OpenBlob (using Blob metadata)
416 +        IAttachment.OpenArray (using array metadata)
417 +
418 + 4. FBMessages: removal of unused messages
419 +
420 + 5. TFBArray.Create (2nd case): ensure that FFirebirdClientAPI is correctly set.
421 +
422 + 6. TIBSQLStatementType: SQLSavePoint added to end of enumeration.
423 +
424 + FBINTF Change Log  version          (1.1-4 Build 11515)  Fri, 28 Dec 2018 10:04:19 +0000
425 +
426 + 1. Fix a problem with the SQL parameter parser that failed to recognise parameters
427 +   where the second character of the parameter name is a numeric.
428 +
429 + 2. New method for IAttachment: procedure getFBVersion(version: TStrings);
430 +   This returns the isc_version connection information as one or more lines.
431 +   This is the same information as returned by isql with the -z option.
432 +
433 + 3. If -dFIREBIRD3APIONLY is used as a compiler option then the legacy Firebird API
434 +   is no longer compiled in. Likewise, if -dLEGACYFIREBIRDAPIONLY is used as a
435 +   compiler option then the Firebird 3 API is no longer compiled in.
436 +
437 + 4. IColumnMetaData: new method.
438 +
439 +   TIBDateTimeFormats = (dfTimestamp, {SQL TIMESTAMP}
440 +                        dfDateTime,   {SQL DATETIME}
441 +                        dfTime);
442 +
443 +   function GetDateTimeStrLength(DateTimeFormat: TIBDateTimeFormats): integer;
444 +
445 +   This returns the max. number of characters returned by the "AsString" method
446 +   when the SQL type of the column is respectively TIMESTAMP, DATETIME or TIME.
447 +
448 + 5. Additional argument for IAttachment.PrepareWithNamedParameters -
449 +     CaseSensitiveParams: boolean = false
450 +
451 +   If this argument is set to true then SQL parameter names are assumed to be case
452 +   sensitive and must be referenced (using ISQLParams.ByName) using the case
453 +   sensitive name.
454 +
455 + 6. Bug fix: when setting a query parameter, it is now possible, when the parameter
456 +   is of type VarChar or Char to set the parameter to a numeric value (e.g. using
457 +   .AsCurrency) and then subsequently to update the value to a non-numeric string
458 +   using .AsString.
459 +

462 + FBINTF Change Log  version                  (1.1-3) Wed, 05 Dec 2018 14:28:10 +0000
463 +
464 + 1. DARWIN only syntax error: fix missing semi-colon in TFBClientAPI.LoadIBLibrary
465 +
466 + 2. Restrict IsMultiThread check to Unix only for compatibility with
467 +   https://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=30535
468 +
469 + 3. New SQL Tokeniser added to IBUtils. This is used to pre-process SQL with
470 +   named parameters and is intended to avoid problems with (e.g.) Execute Block
471 +   and processing internal parameters as statement parameters.
472 +
473 + 4. New interface IFirebirdLibrary provides access to the underlying firebird DLL
474 +   or shared object. Available via a new member (GetFBLibrary) of IFirebirdAPI.
475 +
476 + 5. New function added to IB.pas
477 +
478 +   function LoadFBLibrary(aLibPathName: string): IFirebirdLibrary
479 +
480 +   This allows a Firebird Library to be loaded from an explicit path. use the
481 +   IFirebirdLibrary.GetFirebirdAPI member function to get the Firebird API using
482 +   the library. It is possible to load Firebird libraries from different locations
483 +   simultaneously, each with a distinct IFirebirdAPI.
