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.
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 > 18. In Firebird 3 and later API: the status vector is now a thread var, as was
103 >    already the case with the legacy API. Avoids problems when calling underlying
104 >    Firebird API in multiple threads.
105 >
106 >
107 >
108 > FBINTF Change Log  version          (1.3-3 Build 12935) Mon, 06 Dec 2021 23:17:13 +0000
109 >
110 > 1. Fix compile error with fpc trunk (3.3.1 and later), due to type change to tzname in "unix" unit.
111 >
112 > 2. Remove constraint in IAttachment.HasScollableCursors that returned false when
113 >   using remote protocol. Scrollable cursors with remote database expected to
114 >   be support for Firebird 4.0.1 onwards. Note: Firebird 4.0.0 will return
115 >   a not supported error.
116 >
117 > 3. IStatement: new function;
118 >    TStatementFlag = (stHasCursor,stRepeatExecute,stScrollable);
119 >    TStatementFlags = set of TStatementFlag;
120 >    function GetFlags: TStatementFlags;
121 >
122 > 4. Revised behaviour for IStatement.ExecuteQuery in order to preserve backwards
123 >   compatibility.
124 >   In Firebird 5, Update..Returning may returns multiple rows and hence the statemen
125 >   type changes from ExecProcedure to Select. So that ExecuteQuery can continue
126 >   to be used with Update...Retruning statements that return a singleton row,
127 >   instead of raising an exception when ExecuteQuery is used with a (SELECT) statement,
128 >   it will open the cursor and return the first row only.
129 >
130 > 5. ITransaction: new functions:
131 >    function GetIsReadOnly: boolean;
132 >    function GetTransactionID: integer;
133 >    function GetTrInformation(Requests: array of byte): ITrInformation; overload;
134 >    function GetTrInformation(Request: byte): ITrInformation; overload;
135 >
136 >   The latter two return the Transaction Information block. The first two extract
137 >   information the Transaction Information block
138 >
139 > 6. New function TSQLTokeniser.ReadCharacters
140 >   Used internally.
141 >
142 > 7. IStatement: GetProcessedSQL bug fix. No longer raises and error if SQL contains
143 >   parameter placeholders instead of named parameters.
144 >
145 > 8. ITransaction (Firebird 3 and later): An exception raised when freeing an underlying
146 >   transaction handle is now ignored if Rollback/Commit is called with Force=true
147 >
148 > 9. Tidy up of exception handling code. Under the legacy API, fb_interpret is now
149 >   used to get an IBError Message instead of isc_interprete.
150 >
151 > 10. Internal tidyup. Native code now used for decoding integers and the events
152 >    buffer. Avoids dependencies on fbclient functions isc_portable_integer,
153 >    isc_event_block and isc_event_counts.
154 >
155 > 11. New IAttachment function
156 >     function GetAttachmentID: integer;
157 >
158 > 12. Internal changes to TFBClientAPI, TFBAttachment and TFBTransaction and TFB30
159 >    subclasses to enable UDR support.

163   1. TFBClientAPI.GetProcAddr. Add check for nil reference.
164

170     user to disable them on a per statement basis. Note this can risk out-of-date
171     statement BLR. See User Guide.
172  
173 + 3. IBUtils: TSQLwithNamedParamsTokeniser now recognises a CASE...END block within a
174 +   stored procedure and hence avoids replacing named parameters within a containing
175 +   BEGIN..END block.
176 +
177 + 4. ISQLParam: using a string value to set an integer field with a scale factor of
178 +   zero is now treated as a special case to avoid the risk of floating point
179 +   rounding errors affecting pure integers.
180 +
181 + 5. ISQLParam:  Review and tidy-up of SetAsString for numeric types.
182 +
183 + 6. ISQLParam is now subclassed from IParamMetaData, which provides access to the mutable
184 +   SQL Parameter metadata (methods moved from ISQLParam).
185 +
186 + 7. ISQLParam: new method
187 +     function getColMetadata: IParamMetaData;
188 +   This instance of IParamMetaData returns the original column metadata which is unmutable.
189 +   Note: ISQLParam metadata can change after a parameter value has been set e.g when
190 +   setting a VARCHAR column to an integer value.
191 +
192 + 8. IStatement: can now set cursor name when opening a cursor. New overloaded method:
193 +    procedure Prepare(CursorName: AnsiString; aTransaction: ITransaction=nil); overload;
194 +   also IAttachment:
195 +    function Prepare(transaction: ITransaction; sql: AnsiString; aSQLDialect: integer; CursorName: AnsiString=''): IStatement; overload;
196 +    function Prepare(transaction: ITransaction; sql: AnsiString; CursorName: AnsiString=''): IStatement; overload;
197 +    function PrepareWithNamedParameters(transaction: ITransaction; sql: AnsiString;
198 +                       aSQLDialect: integer; GenerateParamNames: boolean=false;
199 +                       CaseSensitiveParams: boolean = false; CursorName: AnsiString=''): IStatement; overload;
200 +    function PrepareWithNamedParameters(transaction: ITransaction; sql: AnsiString;
201 +                       GenerateParamNames: boolean=false;
202 +                       CaseSensitiveParams: boolean = false; CursorName: AnsiString=''): IStatement; overload;
203 +
204 + 9. Support for scrollable cursors added. New/updated methods:
205 +   IAttachment:
206 +    function HasScollableCursors: boolean;
207 +    function OpenCursor(transaction: ITransaction; sql: AnsiString; aSQLDialect: integer;
208 +                             Scrollable: boolean=false): IResultSet; overload;
209 +    function OpenCursor(transaction: ITransaction; sql: AnsiString; Scrollable: boolean=false): IResultSet; overload;
210 +    function OpenCursor(transaction: ITransaction; sql: AnsiString; aSQLDialect: integer; Scrollable: boolean;
211 +                             params: array of const): IResultSet; overload;
212 +    function OpenCursor(transaction: ITransaction; sql: AnsiString; Scrollable: boolean=false;
213 +                             params: array of const): IResultSet; overload;
214 +    function OpenCursorAtStart(transaction: ITransaction; sql: AnsiString; aSQLDialect: integer; Scrollable: boolean;
215 +                             params: array of const): IResultSet; overload;
216 +    function OpenCursorAtStart(transaction: ITransaction; sql: AnsiString; aSQLDialect: integer;
217 +                             Scrollable: boolean=false): IResultSet; overload;
218 +    function OpenCursorAtStart(transaction: ITransaction; sql: AnsiString; Scrollable: boolean=false): IResultSet; overload;
219 +    function OpenCursorAtStart(transaction: ITransaction; sql: AnsiString; Scrollable: boolean;
220 +                             params: array of const): IResultSet; overload;
221 +    function OpenCursorAtStart(sql: AnsiString; Scrollable: boolean=false): IResultSet; overload;
222 +    function OpenCursorAtStart(sql: AnsiString; Scrollable: boolean;
223 +                             params: array of const): IResultSet; overload;
224 +   IStatement:
225 +     function OpenCursor(Scrollable: boolean; CursorName: AnsiString =''; aTransaction: ITransaction=nil): IResultSet; overload;
226 +   IResultSet:
227 +    function FetchPrior: boolean; {fetch previous record}
228 +    function FetchFirst:boolean; {fetch first record}
229 +    function FetchLast: boolean; {fetch last record}
230 +    function FetchAbsolute(position: Integer): boolean; {fetch record by its absolute position in result set}
231 +    function FetchRelative(offset: Integer): boolean; {fetch record by position relative to current}
232 +    function IsBof: boolean;
233 +
234 + 10. IArray: tidyup of SetAsString method to ensure correct handling of fixed point numbers.
235 +
236 + 11. IBUtils: TSQLTokeniser. CRLF now combined by low level parser into sqltEOL token. This
237 +    may be noticeable when a line separator occurs inside quoted text. The quoted text
238 +    output by the tokeniser will now use the platform specific lineEnding regardless
239 +    of whether the input uses the CRLF or LF as a line separator.
240 +
241 + 12. IStatement, IResultsSet: Support for scrollable cursors added (note: local databases only)
242 +
243 +

245  
246   1. Integer decodes in information blocks (e.g. IDBInfoItem) widened from 32 bit to 64-bit integers.
