function GetStatement: IStatement; |
56 |
> |
function GetTransaction: ITransaction; |
57 |
> |
function GetAttachment: IAttachment; |
58 |

7. Internal: a more disciplined approach to the handling of Firebird.IReferenceCounted |
60 |
> |
interfaces. |
61 |
> |
|
62 |
> |
8. New interface type: IFBNumeric. IFBNumeric is implemented in the unit FBNumeric |
63 |
> |
and concentrates all handling of Fixed Point numbers. New ISQLItem and ISQLParam |
64 |
> |
functions getAsNumeric and setAsNumeric allow for direct retrival and manipulation |
65 |
> |

|
76 |
> |
13. Connection Info (e.g. ODS Version, Remote Protocol) now retrieved on first |

> |
1. Fix compile error with fpc trunk (3.3.1 and later), due to type change to tzname in "unix" unit. |
83 |
> |
|
84 |
> |
2. Remove constraint in IAttachment.HasScollableCursors that returned false when |
85 |
> |
using remote protocol. Scrollable cursors with remote database expected to |
86 |
> |
be support for Firebird 4.0.1 onwards. Note: Firebird 4.0.0 will return |
87 |
> |
a not supported error. |
88 |
> |
|
89 |
> |
3. IStatement: new function; |
90 |
> |
TStatementFlag = (stHasCursor,stRepeatExecute,stScrollable); |
91 |
> |
TStatementFlags = set of TStatementFlag; |
92 |
> |
function GetFlags: TStatementFlags; |
93 |
> |
|
94 |
> |
4. Revised behaviour for IStatement.ExecuteQuery in order to preserve backwards |
95 |
> |
compatibility. |
96 |
> |
In Firebird 5, Update..Returning may returns multiple rows and hence the statemen |
97 |
> |
type changes from ExecProcedure to Select. So that ExecuteQuery can continue |
98 |
> |
to be used with Update...Retruning statements that return a singleton row, |
99 |
> |
instead of raising an exception when ExecuteQuery is used with a (SELECT) statement, |
100 |
> |
it will open the cursor and return the first row only. |
101 |
> |
|
102 |
> |
5. ITransaction: new functions: |
103 |
> |
function GetIsReadOnly: boolean; |
104 |
> |
function GetTransactionID: integer; |
105 |
> |
function GetTrInformation(Requests: array of byte): ITrInformation; overload; |
106 |
> |
function GetTrInformation(Request: byte): ITrInformation; overload; |
107 |
> |
|
108 |
> |
The latter two return the Transaction Information block. The first two extract |
109 |
> |
information the Transaction Information block |
110 |
> |
|
111 |
> |
6. New function TSQLTokeniser.ReadCharacters |
112 |
> |
Used internally. |
113 |
> |
|
114 |
> |
7. IStatement: GetProcessedSQL bug fix. No longer raises and error if SQL contains |
115 |
> |
parameter placeholders instead of named parameters. |
116 |
> |
|
117 |
> |
8. ITransaction (Firebird 3 and later): An exception raised when freeing an underlying |
118 |
> |
transaction handle is now ignored if Rollback/Commit is called with Force=true |
119 |
> |
|
120 |
> |
9. Tidy up of exception handling code. Under the legacy API, fb_interpret is now |
121 |
> |
used to get an IBError Message instead of isc_interprete. |
122 |
> |
|
123 |
> |
10. Internal tidyup. Native code now used for decoding integers and the events |
124 |
> |
buffer. Avoids dependencies on fbclient functions isc_portable_integer, |
125 |
> |
isc_event_block and isc_event_counts. |
126 |
> |
|
127 |
> |
11. New IAttachment function |
128 |
> |
function GetAttachmentID: integer; |
129 |
> |
|
130 |
> |
12. Internal changes to TFBClientAPI, TFBAttachment and TFBTransaction and TFB30 |
131 |
> |
subclasses to enable UDR support. |
132 |

135 |
> |
1. TFBClientAPI.GetProcAddr. Add check for nil reference. |
136 |
> |
|
137 |
> |
2. IStatement: new methods: |
138 |
> |
procedure SetStaleReferenceChecks(Enable:boolean); {default true} |
139 |
> |
function GetStaleReferenceChecks: boolean; |
140 |
> |
|
141 |
> |
In previous versions, stale reference checks were always enabled. This allows the |
142 |
> |
user to disable them on a per statement basis. Note this can risk out-of-date |
143 |
> |
statement BLR. See User Guide. |
144 |
> |
|
145 |
> |
3. IBUtils: TSQLwithNamedParamsTokeniser now recognises a CASE...END block within a |
146 |
> |
stored procedure and hence avoids replacing named parameters within a containing |
147 |
> |
BEGIN..END block. |
148 |
> |
|
149 |
> |
4. ISQLParam: using a string value to set an integer field with a scale factor of |
150 |
> |
zero is now treated as a special case to avoid the risk of floating point |
151 |
> |
rounding errors affecting pure integers. |
152 |
> |
|
153 |
> |
5. ISQLParam: Review and tidy-up of SetAsString for numeric types. |
154 |
> |
|
155 |
> |
6. ISQLParam is now subclassed from IParamMetaData, which provides access to the mutable |
156 |
> |
SQL Parameter metadata (methods moved from ISQLParam). |
157 |
> |
|
158 |
> |
7. ISQLParam: new method |
159 |
> |
function getColMetadata: IParamMetaData; |
160 |
> |
This instance of IParamMetaData returns the original column metadata which is unmutable. |
161 |
> |
Note: ISQLParam metadata can change after a parameter value has been set e.g when |
162 |
> |
setting a VARCHAR column to an integer value. |
163 |
> |
|
164 |
> |
8. IStatement: can now set cursor name when opening a cursor. New overloaded method: |
165 |
> |
procedure Prepare(CursorName: AnsiString; aTransaction: ITransaction=nil); overload; |
166 |
> |
also IAttachment: |
167 |
> |
function Prepare(transaction: ITransaction; sql: AnsiString; aSQLDialect: integer; CursorName: AnsiString=''): IStatement; overload; |
168 |
> |
function Prepare(transaction: ITransaction; sql: AnsiString; CursorName: AnsiString=''): IStatement; overload; |
169 |
> |
function PrepareWithNamedParameters(transaction: ITransaction; sql: AnsiString; |
170 |
> |
aSQLDialect: integer; GenerateParamNames: boolean=false; |
171 |
> |
CaseSensitiveParams: boolean = false; CursorName: AnsiString=''): IStatement; overload; |
172 |
> |
function PrepareWithNamedParameters(transaction: ITransaction; sql: AnsiString; |
173 |
> |
GenerateParamNames: boolean=false; |
174 |
> |
CaseSensitiveParams: boolean = false; CursorName: AnsiString=''): IStatement; overload; |
175 |
> |
|
176 |
> |
9. Support for scrollable cursors added. New/updated methods: |
177 |
> |
IAttachment: |
178 |
> |
function HasScollableCursors: boolean; |
179 |
> |
function OpenCursor(transaction: ITransaction; sql: AnsiString; aSQLDialect: integer; |
180 |
> |
Scrollable: boolean=false): IResultSet; overload; |
181 |
> |
function OpenCursor(transaction: ITransaction; sql: AnsiString; Scrollable: boolean=false): IResultSet; overload; |
182 |
> |
function OpenCursor(transaction: ITransaction; sql: AnsiString; aSQLDialect: integer; Scrollable: boolean; |
183 |
> |
params: array of const): IResultSet; overload; |
184 |
> |
function OpenCursor(transaction: ITransaction; sql: AnsiString; Scrollable: boolean=false; |
185 |
> |
params: array of const): IResultSet; overload; |
186 |
> |
function OpenCursorAtStart(transaction: ITransaction; sql: AnsiString; aSQLDialect: integer; Scrollable: boolean; |
187 |
> |
params: array of const): IResultSet; overload; |
188 |
> |
function OpenCursorAtStart(transaction: ITransaction; sql: AnsiString; aSQLDialect: integer; |
189 |

function OpenCursorAtStart(transaction: ITransaction; sql: AnsiString; Scrollable: boolean; |
192 |

params: array of const): IResultSet; overload; |
193 |
> |
function OpenCursorAtStart(sql: AnsiString; Scrollable: boolean=false): IResultSet; overload; |
194 |
> |
function OpenCursorAtStart(sql: AnsiString; Scrollable: boolean; |
195 |
> |
params: array of const): IResultSet; overload; |
196 |
> |
IStatement: |
197 |
> |
function OpenCursor(Scrollable: boolean; CursorName: AnsiString =''; aTransaction: ITransaction=nil): IResultSet; overload; |
198 |
> |
IResultSet: |
199 |
> |
function FetchPrior: boolean; {fetch previous record} |
200 |
> |
function FetchFirst:boolean; {fetch first record} |
201 |
> |
function FetchLast: boolean; {fetch last record} |
202 |
> |
function FetchAbsolute(position: Integer): boolean; {fetch record by its absolute position in result set} |
203 |
> |
function FetchRelative(offset: Integer): boolean; {fetch record by position relative to current} |
204 |
> |
function IsBof: boolean; |
205 |
> |
|
206 |
> |
10. IArray: tidyup of SetAsString method to ensure correct handling of fixed point numbers. |
207 |
> |
|
208 |
> |
11. IBUtils: TSQLTokeniser. CRLF now combined by low level parser into sqltEOL token. This |
209 |
> |
may be noticeable when a line separator occurs inside quoted text. The quoted text |
210 |
> |
output by the tokeniser will now use the platform specific lineEnding regardless |
211 |
> |
of whether the input uses the CRLF or LF as a line separator. |
212 |
> |
|
213 |
> |
12. IStatement, IResultsSet: Support for scrollable cursors added (note: local databases only) |

1. Integer decodes in information blocks (e.g. IDBInfoItem) widened from 32 bit to 64-bit integers. |
219 |
> |
|
220 |
> |
2. Support for inline blob encoding. Blob values pass using the "SetAsString" method |
221 |
> |
will now be encoded inline (i.e. as part of the parameter buffer) if they are |
222 |
> |
shorter than a pre-set limit. Longer values continue to be saved as blobs as a |
223 |
> |
separate server interaction. This is intended as a performance optimisation. |
224 |
> |
|
225 |
> |
The pre-set limit defaults to 8192 bytes and can be inspected/modified using the new |
226 |
> |
IAttachment interface functions: |
227 |
> |
|
228 |
> |
function GetInlineBlobLimit: integer; |
229 |
> |
procedure SetInlineBlobLimit(limit: integer); |
230 |
> |
|
231 |
> |
3. Support for Firebird 4 IBatch interface added. This is largely transparent to the API |
232 |
> |
user as the functionality is embedded in the implementation of the IStatement |
233 |
> |
interface. Three new functions are defined: |
234 |
> |
|
235 |
> |
procedure AddToBatch; |
236 |
> |
function ExecuteBatch(aTransaction: ITransaction=nil): IBatchCompletion; |
237 |
> |
procedure CancelBatch; |
238 |
> |
function GetBatchCompletion: IBatchCompletion; |
239 |
> |
function GetBatchRowLimit: integer; |
240 |
> |
procedure SetBatchRowLimit(aLimit: integer); |
241 |
> |
|
242 |
> |
Also |
243 |
> |
|
244 |
> |
function IsInBatchMode: boolean; {true after call to execute(eaDefer)} |
245 |
> |
function HasBatchMode: boolean; {true if and only if IBatch Supported} |
246 |
> |
|
247 |
> |
For more information see the User Guide. |
248 |
> |
|
249 |
> |
4. Default error message contents. Now aligned with User Guide section 10.2 i.e. error messages |
250 |
> |
provided with the EIBInterBaseError now include all three parts. |
251 |
> |
|
252 |
> |
5. Firebird.pas and include files updated to Firebird 4.0.0 |
253 |
> |
|
254 |
> |
6. New IStatement method: function GetSQLStatementTypeName: AnsiString; |
255 |
> |
Returns SQL Statement type as a text string; |
256 |
> |
|
257 |
> |
7. ISQLData.AsInteger and AsInt64 now use "Round" to convert a float field to |
258 |
> |
an integer instead of "trunc". This is for compatibility with TFloatField.AsInteger. |

262 |
|
1. Big fix for Firebird 4.0. A internal change in Firebird 4.0.0 from RC1 flushed out a |
263 |
|
typo in FB30Statement.pas that caused an unknown parameter error. |
