FBINTF Change Log version (1.3-2 Build 12798) Mon, 20 Sep 2021 12:42:46 +0100 |
2 |
+ |
|
3 |
+ |
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 Note this can risk out-of-date |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. |
12 |
+ |
|

+ |
FBINTF Change Log version (1.3-1 Build 12776) Mon, 23 Aug 2021 11:09:33 +0100 |
14 |
+ |
|
15 |
+ |
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. |
56 |
+ |
|
57 |
+ |
FBINTF Change Log version (1.2-1 Build 12552) Wed, 09 Jun 2021 13:05:40 +0100 |
58 |
+ |
|
59 |
+ |
1. Big fix for Firebird 4.0. A internal change in Firebird 4.0.0 from RC1 flushed out a |
60 |
+ |
typo in FB30Statement.pas that caused an unknown parameter error. |
61 |
+ |
|
62 |
+ |
FBINTF Change Log version (1.2-0 Build 12520) Fri, 19 Feb 2021 13:27:23 +0000 |
63 |
+ |
|
64 |
+ |
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 |
+ |
6. New IFirebirdAPI Calls: |
79 |
+ |
function HasLocalTZDB: boolean; |
80 |
+ |
function HasTimeZoneSupport: boolean; |
81 |
+ |
function HasExtendedTZSupport: boolean; |
82 |
+ |
procedure SQLDecFloatEncode(aValue: tBCD; SQLType: cardinal; bufptr: PByte); |
83 |
+ |
function SQLDecFloatDecode(SQLType: cardinal; scale: integer; bufptr: PByte): tBCD; |
84 |
+ |
|
85 |
+ |
7. New IAttachment Calls: |
86 |
+ |
function HasDecFloatSupport: boolean; |
87 |
+ |

+ |

89 |
+ |
|

105 |
+ |
function GetAsUTCDateTime: TDateTime; |
106 |
+ |
function GetAsBCD: tBCD; |
107 |
+ |
function GetStatement: IStatement; |
108 |
+ |

114 |
+ |

115 |
+ |
|
116 |
+ |

121 |
+ |
function GetAsUTCDateTime(index: array of integer): TDateTime; |
122 |
+ |
procedure SetAsDateTime(index: array of integer; aValue: TDateTime; aTimeZoneID: TFBTimeZoneID); overload; |
123 |

128 |
+ |

13. IDPB, ITPB and ISPB: new interface method |
137 |
+ |
function AddByTypeName(ParamTypeName: AnsiString): IDPBItem/ITPBItem/ISPBItem; |
138 |
+ |
This is used to add a parameter block item by the string equivalent of its |
139 |
+ |
symbolic type name. e.g. DPB.AddByTypeName('isc_dpb_user_name').AsString := '...' |
140 |
+ |
|
141 |
+ |
14. IDPBItem/ITPBItem/ISPBItem: new interface method: |
142 |
+ |
function getParamTypeName: AnsiString; |
143 |
+ |
|
144 |
+ |
15. fb_shutdown now called before unloading Firebird library. This can avoid a |
145 |
+ |
SIGEVENT error when a programme using the embeded server is unloaded. |
146 |
+ |
|
147 |
+ |
FBINTF Change Log version (1.1-6 Build 12237) Tue, 21 Jul 2020 08:54:21 +0100 |
148 |
+ |
|
149 |
+ |
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: |
170 |
+ |
function GetClientMajor: integer; |
171 |
+ |
function GetClientMinor: integer; |
172 |
+ |
|
173 |
+ |
7. IColumnMetaData and IArrayMetaData: new method |
174 |
+ |
function GetCharSetWidth: integer; |
175 |
+ |
|
176 |
|

177 |
|
|
178 |
|
1. ISQLParams.GetHasCaseSensitiveParams added. Returns true if param names are |
