49 > 1. Fix compile error with fpc trunk (3.3.1 and later), due to type change to tzname in "unix" unit.
50 >
51 > 2. Remove constraint in IAttachment.HasScollableCursors that returned false when
52 >   using remote protocol. Scrollable cursors with remote database expected to
53 >   be support for Firebird 4.0.1 onwards. Note: Firebird 4.0.0 will return
54 >   a not supported error.
55 >
56 > 3. IStatement: new function;
57 >    TStatementFlag = (stHasCursor,stRepeatExecute,stScrollable);
58 >    TStatementFlags = set of TStatementFlag;
59 >    function GetFlags: TStatementFlags;
60 >
61 > 4. Revised behaviour for IStatement.ExecuteQuery in order to preserve backwards
62 >   compatibility.
63 >   In Firebird 5, Update..Returning may returns multiple rows and hence the statemen
64 >   type changes from ExecProcedure to Select. So that ExecuteQuery can continue
65 >   to be used with Update...Retruning statements that return a singleton row,
66 >   instead of raising an exception when ExecuteQuery is used with a (SELECT) statement,
67 >   it will open the cursor and return the first row only.
68 >
69 > 5. ITransaction: new functions:
70 >    function GetIsReadOnly: boolean;
71 >    function GetTransactionID: integer;
72 >    function GetTrInformation(Requests: array of byte): ITrInformation; overload;
73 >    function GetTrInformation(Request: byte): ITrInformation; overload;
74 >
75 >   The latter two return the Transaction Information block. The first two extract
76 >   information the Transaction Information block
77 >
78 > 6. New function TSQLTokeniser.ReadCharacters
79 >   Used internally.
80 >
81 > 7. IStatement: GetProcessedSQL bug fix. No longer raises and error if SQL contains
82 >   parameter placeholders instead of named parameters.
83 >
84 > 8. ITransaction (Firebird 3 and later): An exception raised when freeing an underlying
85 >   transaction handle is now ignored if Rollback/Commit is called with Force=true

96     user to disable them on a per statement basis. Note this can risk out-of-date
97     statement BLR. See User Guide.
98  
99 + 3. IBUtils: TSQLwithNamedParamsTokeniser now recognises a CASE...END block within a
100 +   stored procedure and hence avoids replacing named parameters within a containing
101 +   BEGIN..END block.
102 +
103 + 4. ISQLParam: using a string value to set an integer field with a scale factor of
104 +   zero is now treated as a special case to avoid the risk of floating point
105 +   rounding errors affecting pure integers.
106 +
107 + 5. ISQLParam:  Review and tidy-up of SetAsString for numeric types.
108 +
109 + 6. ISQLParam is now subclassed from IParamMetaData, which provides access to the mutable
110 +   SQL Parameter metadata (methods moved from ISQLParam).
111 +
112 + 7. ISQLParam: new method
113 +     function getColMetadata: IParamMetaData;
114 +   This instance of IParamMetaData returns the original column metadata which is unmutable.
115 +   Note: ISQLParam metadata can change after a parameter value has been set e.g when
116 +   setting a VARCHAR column to an integer value.
117 +
118 + 8. IStatement: can now set cursor name when opening a cursor. New overloaded method:
119 +    procedure Prepare(CursorName: AnsiString; aTransaction: ITransaction=nil); overload;
120 +   also IAttachment:
121 +    function Prepare(transaction: ITransaction; sql: AnsiString; aSQLDialect: integer; CursorName: AnsiString=''): IStatement; overload;
122 +    function Prepare(transaction: ITransaction; sql: AnsiString; CursorName: AnsiString=''): IStatement; overload;
123 +    function PrepareWithNamedParameters(transaction: ITransaction; sql: AnsiString;
124 +                       aSQLDialect: integer; GenerateParamNames: boolean=false;
125 +                       CaseSensitiveParams: boolean = false; CursorName: AnsiString=''): IStatement; overload;
126 +    function PrepareWithNamedParameters(transaction: ITransaction; sql: AnsiString;
127 +                       GenerateParamNames: boolean=false;
128 +                       CaseSensitiveParams: boolean = false; CursorName: AnsiString=''): IStatement; overload;
129 +
130 + 9. Support for scrollable cursors added. New/updated methods:
131 +   IAttachment:
132 +    function HasScollableCursors: boolean;
133 +    function OpenCursor(transaction: ITransaction; sql: AnsiString; aSQLDialect: integer;
134 +                             Scrollable: boolean=false): IResultSet; overload;
135 +    function OpenCursor(transaction: ITransaction; sql: AnsiString; Scrollable: boolean=false): IResultSet; overload;
136 +    function OpenCursor(transaction: ITransaction; sql: AnsiString; aSQLDialect: integer; Scrollable: boolean;
137 +                             params: array of const): IResultSet; overload;
138 +    function OpenCursor(transaction: ITransaction; sql: AnsiString; Scrollable: boolean=false;
139 +                             params: array of const): IResultSet; overload;
140 +    function OpenCursorAtStart(transaction: ITransaction; sql: AnsiString; aSQLDialect: integer; Scrollable: boolean;
141 +                             params: array of const): IResultSet; overload;
142 +    function OpenCursorAtStart(transaction: ITransaction; sql: AnsiString; aSQLDialect: integer;
143 +                             Scrollable: boolean=false): IResultSet; overload;
144 +    function OpenCursorAtStart(transaction: ITransaction; sql: AnsiString; Scrollable: boolean=false): IResultSet; overload;
145 +    function OpenCursorAtStart(transaction: ITransaction; sql: AnsiString; Scrollable: boolean;
146 +                             params: array of const): IResultSet; overload;
147 +    function OpenCursorAtStart(sql: AnsiString; Scrollable: boolean=false): IResultSet; overload;
148 +    function OpenCursorAtStart(sql: AnsiString; Scrollable: boolean;
149 +                             params: array of const): IResultSet; overload;
150 +   IStatement:
151 +     function OpenCursor(Scrollable: boolean; CursorName: AnsiString =''; aTransaction: ITransaction=nil): IResultSet; overload;
152 +   IResultSet:
153 +    function FetchPrior: boolean; {fetch previous record}
154 +    function FetchFirst:boolean; {fetch first record}
155 +    function FetchLast: boolean; {fetch last record}
156 +    function FetchAbsolute(position: Integer): boolean; {fetch record by its absolute position in result set}
157 +    function FetchRelative(offset: Integer): boolean; {fetch record by position relative to current}
158 +    function IsBof: boolean;
159 +
160 + 10. IArray: tidyup of SetAsString method to ensure correct handling of fixed point numbers.
161 +
162 + 11. IBUtils: TSQLTokeniser. CRLF now combined by low level parser into sqltEOL token. This
163 +    may be noticeable when a line separator occurs inside quoted text. The quoted text
164 +    output by the tokeniser will now use the platform specific lineEnding regardless
165 +    of whether the input uses the CRLF or LF as a line separator.
166 +
167 + 12. IStatement, IResultsSet: Support for scrollable cursors added (note: local databases only)
168 +
169 +

172   1. Integer decodes in information blocks (e.g. IDBInfoItem) widened from 32 bit to 64-bit integers.
