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 Note this can risk out-of-date |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 |

|
13 |

3. IBUtils: TSQLwithNamedParamsTokeniser now recognises a CASE...END block within a |
14 |
> |
stored procedure and hence avoids replacing named parameters within a containing |
15 |
> |
BEGIN..END block. |

1. Integer decodes in information blocks (e.g. IDBInfoItem) widened from 32 bit to 64-bit integers. |
20 |
> |
|
21 |
> |
2. Support for inline blob encoding. Blob values pass using the "SetAsString" method |
22 |
> |
will now be encoded inline (i.e. as part of the parameter buffer) if they are |
23 |
> |
shorter than a pre-set limit. Longer values continue to be saved as blobs as a |
24 |
> |
separate server interaction. This is intended as a performance optimisation. |
25 |
> |
|
26 |
> |
The pre-set limit defaults to 8192 bytes and can be inspected/modified using the new |
27 |
> |
IAttachment interface functions: |
28 |
> |
|
29 |
> |
function GetInlineBlobLimit: integer; |
30 |
> |
procedure SetInlineBlobLimit(limit: integer); |
31 |
> |
|
32 |
> |
3. Support for Firebird 4 IBatch interface added. This is largely transparent to the API |
33 |
> |
user as the functionality is embedded in the implementation of the IStatement |
34 |
> |
interface. Three new functions are defined: |
35 |
> |
|
36 |
> |
procedure AddToBatch; |
37 |
> |
function ExecuteBatch(aTransaction: ITransaction=nil): IBatchCompletion; |
38 |
> |
procedure CancelBatch; |
39 |
> |
function GetBatchCompletion: IBatchCompletion; |
40 |
> |
function GetBatchRowLimit: integer; |
41 |
> |
procedure SetBatchRowLimit(aLimit: integer); |
42 |
> |
|
43 |
> |
Also |
44 |
> |
|
45 |
> |
function IsInBatchMode: boolean; {true after call to execute(eaDefer)} |
46 |
> |
function HasBatchMode: boolean; {true if and only if IBatch Supported} |
47 |
> |
|
48 |
> |
For more information see the User Guide. |
49 |
> |
|
50 |
> |
4. Default error message contents. Now aligned with User Guide section 10.2 i.e. error messages |
51 |
> |
provided with the EIBInterBaseError now include all three parts. |
52 |
> |
|
53 |
> |
5. Firebird.pas and include files updated to Firebird 4.0.0 |
54 |
> |
|
55 |
> |
6. New IStatement method: function GetSQLStatementTypeName: AnsiString; |
56 |
> |
Returns SQL Statement type as a text string; |
57 |
> |
|
58 |
> |
7. ISQLData.AsInteger and AsInt64 now use "Round" to convert a float field to |
59 |
> |
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 |
64 |

typo in FB30Statement.pas that caused an unknown parameter error. |

68 |
> |
1. Imported (Firebird) constants updated for Firebird 4. |
69 |
> |
|
70 |
> |
2. Firebird.pas from Firebird 4 integrated into source code tree. |
71 |
> |
|
72 |
> |
3. Added Support for TIMETAMP WITH TIME ZONE and TIME WITH TIME ZONE data types. |
73 |
> |
|
74 |
> |
4. Added Support for SQL_DEC16, SQL_DEC34 and extended NUMERIC precision. |
75 |
> |
|
76 |
> |
5. New unit 'FBClientLib.pas' added and provides new interface IFBIMasterProvider. |
77 |
> |
QueryInterface may be used to coerce this interface from IFirebirdAPI. The |
78 |
> |
interface provides a single method "function GetIMasterIntf: IMaster". This provides |
79 |
> |
type safe access to the Firebird IMaster interface and avoids the need to turn |
80 |
> |
off object checks when coercing "function GetIMaster: TObject" to IMaster. |
81 |

|
82 |

141 |
> |
function AddByTypeName(ParamTypeName: AnsiString): IDPBItem/ITPBItem/ISPBItem; |
142 |
> |
This is used to add a parameter block item by the string equivalent of its |

symbolic type name. e.g. DPB.AddByTypeName('isc_dpb_user_name').AsString := '...' |

1. GetImplementationVersion now correctly returns '3.0' for Firebird 3 API |
154 |
> |
with a Firebrid 3 client library. |
155 |
> |
|
156 |
> |
2. Linux Only: FIREBIRD environment variable is now checked when loading the client library. |
157 |
> |
If a client library path is not explicitly provided and the FIREBIRD environment |
158 |
> |
variable is set then the directory given by this variable and any 'lib' subdirectory |
159 |
> |
are searched for the Firebird client library. Only if none is found, is the default |
160 |
> |
client library used. |
161 |
> |
|
162 |
> |
3. IUtil.FormatStatus now used to format error messages when using new API |
163 |
> |
|
164 |
> |
4. Fixed Array SDL: array_desc_scale now correctly encoded as a signed integer. |
165 |
> |
|
166 |
> |
5. SQL_TEXT handling changed. When the value of an SQL_TEXT (i.e. fixed width string) column is |
167 |
> |
returned using GetAsString and the string codepage is UTF8, the string is truncated so |
168 |
> |
that the byte length corresponds to the number of characters specified for the column. |
169 |
> |
SQL_TEXT strings are no longer automatically trimmed to remove all trailing white space. This is |
170 |
> |
correct behaviour but may affect some implementations that relied upon automatic |
171 |
> |
trimming of trailing white space. |
172 |
> |
|
173 |

6. New IFirebirdAPI Calls: |
174 |

function GetClientMajor: integer; |
175 |

function GetClientMinor: integer; |
176 |

2. Single line SQL comments starting with '--' are now recognised by SQL Parser. |

1. Fix a problem with the SQL parameter parser that failed to recognise parameters |
204 |
> |
where the second character of the parameter name is a numeric. |
205 |
> |
|
206 |
> |
2. New method for IAttachment: procedure getFBVersion(version: TStrings); |
207 |
> |
This returns the isc_version connection information as one or more lines. |
208 |

This is the same information as returned by isql with the -z option. |
209 |

|
210 |

3. If -dFIREBIRD3APIONLY is used as a compiler option then the legacy Firebird API |
211 |
> |
is no longer compiled in. Likewise, if -dLEGACYFIREBIRDAPIONLY is used as a |

220 |

function GetDateTimeStrLength(DateTimeFormat: TIBDateTimeFormats): integer; |

222 |

This returns the max. number of characters returned by the "AsString" method |
223 |
> |
when the SQL type of the column is respectively TIMESTAMP, DATETIME or TIME. |
224 |
> |

225 |

5. Additional argument for IAttachment.PrepareWithNamedParameters - |
226 |
> |
CaseSensitiveParams: boolean = false |
227 |
> |
|
228 |
> |
If this argument is set to true then SQL parameter names are assumed to be case |
229 |

sensitive and must be referenced (using ISQLParams.ByName) using the case |
230 |
> |
sensitive name. |
231 |
> |
|
232 |
> |
6. Bug fix: when setting a query parameter, it is now possible, when the parameter |
233 |
> |
is of type VarChar or Char to set the parameter to a numeric value (e.g. using |
234 |
> |
.AsCurrency) and then subsequently to update the value to a non-numeric string |

using .AsString. |

3. New SQL Tokeniser added to IBUtils. This is used to pre-process SQL with |
247 |
> |
named parameters and is intended to avoid problems with (e.g.) Execute Block |
248 |
> |
and processing internal parameters as statement parameters. |
249 |
> |
|
250 |

4. New interface IFirebirdLibrary provides access to the underlying firebird DLL |
251 |
> |
or shared object. Available via a new member (GetFBLibrary) of IFirebirdAPI. |
252 |
> |
|

282 |

7. Type change: "TPerfCounters = array[TPerfStats] of Int64". Note "Int64" |

function HasDefaultCharSet: boolean; |

The DefaultCharSetID is cached when the connection is opened and hence does not |
