1. TFBClientAPI.GetProcAddr. Add check for nil reference. |
| 4 |
> |
|
| 5 |
> |
2. IStatement: new methods: |
| 6 |
> |
procedure SetStaleReferenceChecks(Enable:boolean); {default true} |
| 7 |
> |
function GetStaleReferenceChecks: boolean; |
| 8 |
> |
|
| 9 |
> |
In previous versions, stale reference checks were always enabled. This allows the |
| 10 |
> |
user to disable them on a per statement basis. Note this can risk out-of-date |
| 11 |
> |
statement BLR. See User Guide. |

1. Integer decodes in information blocks (e.g. IDBInfoItem) widened from 32 bit to 64-bit integers. |
| 16 |
> |
|
| 17 |
> |
2. Support for inline blob encoding. Blob values pass using the "SetAsString" method |
| 18 |
> |
will now be encoded inline (i.e. as part of the parameter buffer) if they are |
| 19 |
> |
shorter than a pre-set limit. Longer values continue to be saved as blobs as a |
| 20 |
> |
separate server interaction. This is intended as a performance optimisation. |
| 21 |
> |
|
| 22 |
> |
The pre-set limit defaults to 8192 bytes and can be inspected/modified using the new |
| 23 |
> |
IAttachment interface functions: |
| 24 |
> |
|
| 25 |
> |
function GetInlineBlobLimit: integer; |
| 26 |
> |
procedure SetInlineBlobLimit(limit: integer); |
| 27 |
> |
|
| 28 |
> |
3. Support for Firebird 4 IBatch interface added. This is largely transparent to the API |
| 29 |
> |
user as the functionality is embedded in the implementation of the IStatement |
| 30 |
> |
interface. Three new functions are defined: |
| 31 |
> |
|
| 32 |
> |
procedure AddToBatch; |
| 33 |
> |
function ExecuteBatch(aTransaction: ITransaction=nil): IBatchCompletion; |
| 34 |
> |
procedure CancelBatch; |
| 35 |
> |
function GetBatchCompletion: IBatchCompletion; |
| 36 |
> |
function GetBatchRowLimit: integer; |
| 37 |
> |
procedure SetBatchRowLimit(aLimit: integer); |
| 38 |
> |
|
| 39 |
> |
Also |
| 40 |
> |
|
| 41 |
> |
function IsInBatchMode: boolean; {true after call to execute(eaDefer)} |
| 42 |
> |
function HasBatchMode: boolean; {true if and only if IBatch Supported} |
| 43 |
> |
|
| 44 |
> |
For more information see the User Guide. |
| 45 |
> |
|
| 46 |
> |
4. Default error message contents. Now aligned with User Guide section 10.2 i.e. error messages |
| 47 |
> |
provided with the EIBInterBaseError now include all three parts. |
| 48 |
> |
|
| 49 |
> |
5. Firebird.pas and include files updated to Firebird 4.0.0 |
| 50 |
> |
|
| 51 |
> |
6. New IStatement method: function GetSQLStatementTypeName: AnsiString; |
| 52 |
> |
Returns SQL Statement type as a text string; |
| 53 |
> |
|
| 54 |
> |
7. ISQLData.AsInteger and AsInt64 now use "Round" to convert a float field to |
| 55 |
> |
an integer instead of "trunc". This is for compatibility with TFloatField.AsInteger. |

1. Big fix for Firebird 4.0. A internal change in Firebird 4.0.0 from RC1 flushed out a |
| 60 |

1. Imported (Firebird) constants updated for Firebird 4. |
| 65 |
> |
|
| 66 |
> |
2. Firebird.pas from Firebird 4 integrated into source code tree. |
| 67 |
> |
|
| 68 |
> |
3. Added Support for TIMETAMP WITH TIME ZONE and TIME WITH TIME ZONE data types. |
| 69 |
> |
|
| 70 |
> |
4. Added Support for SQL_DEC16, SQL_DEC34 and extended NUMERIC precision. |
| 71 |
> |
|
| 72 |
> |
5. New unit 'FBClientLib.pas' added and provides new interface IFBIMasterProvider. |
| 73 |
> |
QueryInterface may be used to coerce this interface from IFirebirdAPI. The |
| 74 |
> |
interface provides a single method "function GetIMasterIntf: IMaster". This provides |
| 75 |
> |
type safe access to the Firebird IMaster interface and avoids the need to turn |
| 76 |
> |
off object checks when coercing "function GetIMaster: TObject" to IMaster. |
| 77 |
> |
|
| 78 |

| 137 |
> |
function AddByTypeName(ParamTypeName: AnsiString): IDPBItem/ITPBItem/ISPBItem; |
| 138 |
> |
This is used to add a parameter block item by the string equivalent of its |

1. GetImplementationVersion now correctly returns '3.0' for Firebird 3 API |
| 150 |
> |
with a Firebrid 3 client library. |
| 151 |
> |
|
| 152 |
> |
2. Linux Only: FIREBIRD environment variable is now checked when loading the client library. |
| 153 |
> |
If a client library path is not explicitly provided and the FIREBIRD environment |
| 154 |
> |
variable is set then the directory given by this variable and any 'lib' subdirectory |
| 155 |
> |
are searched for the Firebird client library. Only if none is found, is the default |
| 156 |
> |
client library used. |
| 157 |
> |
|
| 158 |
> |
3. IUtil.FormatStatus now used to format error messages when using new API |
| 159 |
> |
|
| 160 |
> |
4. Fixed Array SDL: array_desc_scale now correctly encoded as a signed integer. |
| 161 |
> |
|
| 162 |
> |
5. SQL_TEXT handling changed. When the value of an SQL_TEXT (i.e. fixed width string) column is |
| 163 |
> |
returned using GetAsString and the string codepage is UTF8, the string is truncated so |
| 164 |
> |
that the byte length corresponds to the number of characters specified for the column. |
| 165 |
> |
SQL_TEXT strings are no longer automatically trimmed to remove all trailing white space. This is |
| 166 |
> |
correct behaviour but may affect some implementations that relied upon automatic |
| 167 |
> |
trimming of trailing white space. |
| 168 |
> |
|
| 169 |
> |
6. New IFirebirdAPI Calls: |

4. FBMessages: removal of unused messages |
| 192 |

1. Fix a problem with the SQL parameter parser that failed to recognise parameters |
| 200 |
> |
where the second character of the parameter name is a numeric. |
| 201 |
> |
|
| 202 |
> |
2. New method for IAttachment: procedure getFBVersion(version: TStrings); |
| 203 |
> |
This returns the isc_version connection information as one or more lines. |
| 204 |
> |
This is the same information as returned by isql with the -z option. |
| 205 |
> |
|
| 206 |
> |
3. If -dFIREBIRD3APIONLY is used as a compiler option then the legacy Firebird API |
| 207 |
> |
is no longer compiled in. Likewise, if -dLEGACYFIREBIRDAPIONLY is used as a |
| 208 |
> |
compiler option then the Firebird 3 API is no longer compiled in. |
| 209 |

|
| 212 |

TIBDateTimeFormats = (dfTimestamp, {SQL TIMESTAMP} |

dfDateTime, {SQL DATETIME} |

dfTime); |

> |
|
| 216 |
> |
function GetDateTimeStrLength(DateTimeFormat: TIBDateTimeFormats): integer; |
| 217 |
> |
|
| 218 |
> |
This returns the max. number of characters returned by the "AsString" method |
| 219 |
> |
when the SQL type of the column is respectively TIMESTAMP, DATETIME or TIME. |
| 220 |
> |
|
| 221 |
> |
5. Additional argument for IAttachment.PrepareWithNamedParameters - |
| 222 |
> |
CaseSensitiveParams: boolean = false |
| 223 |
> |
|
| 224 |
> |
If this argument is set to true then SQL parameter names are assumed to be case |
| 225 |
> |
sensitive and must be referenced (using ISQLParams.ByName) using the case |
| 226 |
> |
sensitive name. |
| 227 |
> |
|
| 228 |
> |
6. Bug fix: when setting a query parameter, it is now possible, when the parameter |
| 229 |
> |
is of type VarChar or Char to set the parameter to a numeric value (e.g. using |
| 230 |
> |
.AsCurrency) and then subsequently to update the value to a non-numeric string |
| 231 |
> |
using .AsString. |

3. New SQL Tokeniser added to IBUtils. This is used to pre-process SQL with |
| 243 |
> |
named parameters and is intended to avoid problems with (e.g.) Execute Block |
| 244 |
> |
and processing internal parameters as statement parameters. |
| 245 |
> |
|
| 246 |
> |
4. New interface IFirebirdLibrary provides access to the underlying firebird DLL |
| 247 |
> |
or shared object. Available via a new member (GetFBLibrary) of IFirebirdAPI. |
| 248 |
> |
|
| 249 |
> |
5. New function added to IB.pas |

|
| 251 |
> |
function LoadFBLibrary(aLibPathName: string): IFirebirdLibrary |
| 252 |
> |

| 254 |
> |
IFirebirdLibrary.GetFirebirdAPI member function to get the Firebird API using |

> |
function GetSecurityDatabase: AnsiString; |
| 274 |
> |
|

5. IStatement: performance counters now updated after each Fetch. GetPerfStatistics |
| 276 |
> |
thus now returns accumulated stats for a select statement from opening a cursor |
| 277 |
> |
up to the last fetch. |
| 278 |
> |
|
| 279 |
> |
6. DARWIN: uloadlibrary.inc bug fix. Many thanks to Luigi Naimi for correcting |
| 280 |
> |
the problem. |
| 281 |
> |
|
| 282 |
> |
7. Type change: "TPerfCounters = array[TPerfStats] of Int64". Note "Int64" |
