FBINTF Change Log version (1.3-2 Build 12889) Sun, 24 Oct 2021 13:49:28 +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 Note this can risk out-of-date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 |
|
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.
|
16 |
|
17 |
4. ISQLParam: using a string value to set an integer field with a scale factor of
|
18 |
zero is now treated as a special case to avoid the risk of floating point
|
19 |
rounding errors affecting pure integers.
|
20 |
|
21 |
5. ISQLParam: Review and tidy-up of SetAsString for numeric types.
|
22 |
|
23 |
6. ISQLParam is now subclassed from IParamMetaData, which provides access to the mutable
|
24 |
SQL Parameter metadata (methods moved from ISQLParam).
|
25 |
|
26 |
7. ISQLParam: new method
|
27 |
function getColMetadata: IParamMetaData;
|
28 |
This instance of IParamMetaData returns the original column metadata which is unmutable.
|
29 |
Note: ISQLParam metadata can change after a parameter value has been set e.g when
|
30 |
setting a VARCHAR column to an integer value.
|
31 |
|
32 |
8. IStatement: can now set cursor name when opening a cursor. New overloaded method:
|
33 |
procedure Prepare(CursorName: AnsiString; aTransaction: ITransaction=nil); overload;
|
34 |
also IAttachment:
|
35 |
function Prepare(transaction: ITransaction; sql: AnsiString; aSQLDialect: integer; CursorName: AnsiString=''): IStatement; overload;
|
36 |
function Prepare(transaction: ITransaction; sql: AnsiString; CursorName: AnsiString=''): IStatement; overload;
|
37 |
function PrepareWithNamedParameters(transaction: ITransaction; sql: AnsiString;
|
38 |
aSQLDialect: integer; GenerateParamNames: boolean=false;
|
39 |
CaseSensitiveParams: boolean = false; CursorName: AnsiString=''): IStatement; overload;
|
40 |
function PrepareWithNamedParameters(transaction: ITransaction; sql: AnsiString;
|
41 |
GenerateParamNames: boolean=false;
|
42 |
CaseSensitiveParams: boolean = false; CursorName: AnsiString=''): IStatement; overload;
|
43 |
|
44 |
9. Support for scrollable cursors added. New/updated methods:
|
45 |
IAttachment:
|
46 |
function HasScollableCursors: boolean;
|
47 |
function OpenCursor(transaction: ITransaction; sql: AnsiString; aSQLDialect: integer;
|
48 |
Scrollable: boolean=false): IResultSet; overload;
|
49 |
function OpenCursor(transaction: ITransaction; sql: AnsiString; Scrollable: boolean=false): IResultSet; overload;
|
50 |
function OpenCursor(transaction: ITransaction; sql: AnsiString; aSQLDialect: integer; Scrollable: boolean;
|
51 |
params: array of const): IResultSet; overload;
|
52 |
function OpenCursor(transaction: ITransaction; sql: AnsiString; Scrollable: boolean=false;
|
53 |
params: array of const): IResultSet; overload;
|
54 |
function OpenCursorAtStart(transaction: ITransaction; sql: AnsiString; aSQLDialect: integer; Scrollable: boolean;
|
55 |
params: array of const): IResultSet; overload;
|
56 |
function OpenCursorAtStart(transaction: ITransaction; sql: AnsiString; aSQLDialect: integer;
|
57 |
Scrollable: boolean=false): IResultSet; overload;
|
58 |
function OpenCursorAtStart(transaction: ITransaction; sql: AnsiString; Scrollable: boolean=false): IResultSet; overload;
|
59 |
function OpenCursorAtStart(transaction: ITransaction; sql: AnsiString; Scrollable: boolean;
|
60 |
params: array of const): IResultSet; overload;
|
61 |
function OpenCursorAtStart(sql: AnsiString; Scrollable: boolean=false): IResultSet; overload;
|
62 |
function OpenCursorAtStart(sql: AnsiString; Scrollable: boolean;
|
63 |
params: array of const): IResultSet; overload;
|
64 |
IStatement:
|
65 |
function OpenCursor(Scrollable: boolean; CursorName: AnsiString =''; aTransaction: ITransaction=nil): IResultSet; overload;
|
66 |
IResultSet:
|
67 |
function FetchPrior: boolean; {fetch previous record}
|
68 |
function FetchFirst:boolean; {fetch first record}
|
69 |
function FetchLast: boolean; {fetch last record}
|
70 |
function FetchAbsolute(position: Integer): boolean; {fetch record by its absolute position in result set}
|
71 |
function FetchRelative(offset: Integer): boolean; {fetch record by position relative to current}
|
72 |
function IsBof: boolean;
|
73 |
|
74 |
10. IArray: tidyup of SetAsString method to ensure correct handling of fixed point numbers.
|
75 |
|
76 |
11. IBUtils: TSQLTokeniser. CRLF now combined by low level parser into sqltEOL token. This
|
77 |
may be noticeable when a line separator occurs inside quoted text. The quoted text
|
78 |
output by the tokeniser will now use the platform specific lineEnding regardless
|
79 |
of whether the input uses the CRLF or LF as a line separator.
|
80 |
|
81 |
12. IStatement, IResultsSet: Support for scrollable cursors added (note: local databases only)
|
82 |
|
83 |
|
84 |
FBINTF Change Log version (1.3-1 Build 12776) Mon, 23 Aug 2021 11:09:33 +0100
|
85 |
|
86 |
1. Integer decodes in information blocks (e.g. IDBInfoItem) widened from 32 bit to 64-bit integers.
|
87 |
|
88 |
2. Support for inline blob encoding. Blob values pass using the "SetAsString" method
|
89 |
will now be encoded inline (i.e. as part of the parameter buffer) if they are
|
90 |
shorter than a pre-set limit. Longer values continue to be saved as blobs as a
|
91 |
separate server interaction. This is intended as a performance optimisation.
|
92 |
|
93 |
The pre-set limit defaults to 8192 bytes and can be inspected/modified using the new
|
94 |
IAttachment interface functions:
|
95 |
|
96 |
function GetInlineBlobLimit: integer;
|
97 |
procedure SetInlineBlobLimit(limit: integer);
|
98 |
|
99 |
3. Support for Firebird 4 IBatch interface added. This is largely transparent to the API
|
100 |
user as the functionality is embedded in the implementation of the IStatement
|
101 |
interface. Three new functions are defined:
|
102 |
|
103 |
procedure AddToBatch;
|
104 |
function ExecuteBatch(aTransaction: ITransaction=nil): IBatchCompletion;
|
105 |
procedure CancelBatch;
|
106 |
function GetBatchCompletion: IBatchCompletion;
|
107 |
function GetBatchRowLimit: integer;
|
108 |
procedure SetBatchRowLimit(aLimit: integer);
|
109 |
|
110 |
Also
|
111 |
|
112 |
function IsInBatchMode: boolean; {true after call to execute(eaDefer)}
|
113 |
function HasBatchMode: boolean; {true if and only if IBatch Supported}
|
114 |
|
115 |
For more information see the User Guide.
|
116 |
|
117 |
4. Default error message contents. Now aligned with User Guide section 10.2 i.e. error messages
|
118 |
provided with the EIBInterBaseError now include all three parts.
|
119 |
|
120 |
5. Firebird.pas and include files updated to Firebird 4.0.0
|
121 |
|
122 |
6. New IStatement method: function GetSQLStatementTypeName: AnsiString;
|
123 |
Returns SQL Statement type as a text string;
|
124 |
|
125 |
7. ISQLData.AsInteger and AsInt64 now use "Round" to convert a float field to
|
126 |
an integer instead of "trunc". This is for compatibility with TFloatField.AsInteger.
|
127 |
|
128 |
FBINTF Change Log version (1.2-1 Build 12552) Wed, 09 Jun 2021 13:05:40 +0100
|
129 |
|
130 |
1. Big fix for Firebird 4.0. A internal change in Firebird 4.0.0 from RC1 flushed out a
|
131 |
typo in FB30Statement.pas that caused an unknown parameter error.
|
132 |
|
133 |
FBINTF Change Log version (1.2-0 Build 12520) Fri, 19 Feb 2021 13:27:23 +0000
|
134 |
|
135 |
1. Imported (Firebird) constants updated for Firebird 4.
|
136 |
|
137 |
2. Firebird.pas from Firebird 4 integrated into source code tree.
|
138 |
|
139 |
3. Added Support for TIMETAMP WITH TIME ZONE and TIME WITH TIME ZONE data types.
|
140 |
|
141 |
4. Added Support for SQL_DEC16, SQL_DEC34 and extended NUMERIC precision.
|
142 |
|
143 |
5. New unit 'FBClientLib.pas' added and provides new interface IFBIMasterProvider.
|
144 |
QueryInterface may be used to coerce this interface from IFirebirdAPI. The
|
145 |
interface provides a single method "function GetIMasterIntf: IMaster". This provides
|
146 |
type safe access to the Firebird IMaster interface and avoids the need to turn
|
147 |
off object checks when coercing "function GetIMaster: TObject" to IMaster.
|
148 |
|
149 |
6. New IFirebirdAPI Calls:
|
150 |
function HasLocalTZDB: boolean;
|
151 |
function HasTimeZoneSupport: boolean;
|
152 |
function HasExtendedTZSupport: boolean;
|
153 |
procedure SQLDecFloatEncode(aValue: tBCD; SQLType: cardinal; bufptr: PByte);
|
154 |
function SQLDecFloatDecode(SQLType: cardinal; scale: integer; bufptr: PByte): tBCD;
|
155 |
|
156 |
7. New IAttachment Calls:
|
157 |

|
158 |
function GetTimeZoneServices: ITimeZoneServices;
|
159 |
function HasTimeZoneSupport: boolean;
|
160 |
|
161 |
8. New Interface ITimeZoneServices.
|
162 |
|
163 |
9. New ISQLData API Calls:
|
164 |
procedure GetAsDateTime(var aDateTime: TDateTime; var dstOffset: smallint; var aTimezoneID: TFBTimeZoneID); overload;
|
165 |
procedure GetAsDateTime(var aDateTime: TDateTime; var dstOffset: smallint; var aTimezone: AnsiString); overload;
|
166 |
procedure GetAsTime(var aTime: TDateTime; var dstOffset: smallint; var aTimezoneID: TFBTimeZoneID; OnDate: TDateTime); overload;
|
167 |
procedure GetAsTime(var aTime: TDateTime; var dstOffset: smallint; var aTimezone: AnsiString; OnDate: TDateTime); overload;
|
168 |
function GetAsUTCDateTime: TDateTime;
|
169 |
function GetAsBCD: tBCD;
|
170 |
|
171 |
10. New ISQLParam API Calls
|
172 |
procedure GetAsDateTime(var aDateTime: TDateTime; var dstOffset: smallint; var aTimezoneID: TFBTimeZoneID); overload;
|
173 |

|
175 |
procedure GetAsTime(var aTime: TDateTime; var dstOffset: smallint; var aTimezone: AnsiString; OnDate: TDateTime); overload;
|
176 |
function GetAsUTCDateTime: TDateTime;
|
177 |
function GetAsBCD: tBCD;
|
178 |
function GetStatement: IStatement;
|
179 |
function GetTransaction: ITransaction;
|
180 |
procedure SetAsTime(aValue: TDateTime; OnDate: TDateTime; aTimeZoneID: TFBTimeZoneID); overload;
|
181 |
procedure SetAsTime(aValue: TDateTime; OnDate: TDateTime; aTimeZone: AnsiString); overload;
|
182 |
procedure SetAsDateTime(aValue: TDateTime; aTimeZoneID: TFBTimeZoneID); overload;
|
183 |
procedure SetAsDateTime(aValue: TDateTime; aTimeZone: AnsiString); overload;
|
184 |
procedure SetAsUTCDateTime(aUTCTime: TDateTime);
|
185 |
procedure SetAsBcd(aValue: tBCD);
|
186 |
|
187 |
11. New IArray API Calls
|
188 |
procedure GetAsDateTime(index: array of integer; var aDateTime: TDateTime; var dstOffset: smallint; var aTimezoneID: TFBTimeZoneID); overload;
|
189 |
procedure GetAsDateTime(index: array of integer; var aDateTime: TDateTime; var dstOffset: smallint; var aTimezone: AnsiString); overload;
|
190 |
procedure GetAsTime(index: array of integer; var aTime: TDateTime; var dstOffset: smallint; var aTimezoneID: TFBTimeZoneID; OnDate: TDateTime); overload;
|
191 |
procedure GetAsTime(index: array of integer; var aTime: TDateTime; var dstOffset: smallint; var aTimezone: AnsiString; OnDate: TDateTime); overload;
|
192 |
function GetAsUTCDateTime(index: array of integer): TDateTime;
|
193 |
procedure SetAsDateTime(index: array of integer; aValue: TDateTime; aTimeZoneID: TFBTimeZoneID); overload;
|
194 |
procedure SetAsDateTime(index: array of integer; aValue: TDateTime; aTimeZone: AnsiString); overload;
|
195 |
procedure SetAsTime(index: array of integer; aValue: TDateTime; OnDate: TDateTime; aTimeZoneID: TFBTimeZoneID); overload;
|
196 |
procedure SetAsTime(index: array of integer; aValue: TDateTime; OnDate: TDateTime; aTimeZone: AnsiString); overload;
|
197 |
|
198 |
12. Utility functions in IBUtils
|
199 |
function ParseDateTimeTZString(aDateTimeStr: Ansistring; var aDateTime: TDateTime;
|
200 |
var aTimezone: AnsiString; aFormatSettings: TFormatSettings; TimeOnly: boolean=false): boolean;
|
201 |
procedure FBDecodeTime(aTime: TDateTime; var Hour, Minute, Second: word; var DeciMillisecond: cardinal);
|
202 |
function FBEncodeTime(Hour, Minute, Second, DeciMillisecond: cardinal): TDateTime;
|
203 |
function FBFormatDateTime(fmt: AnsiString; aDateTime: TDateTime): AnsiString;
|
204 |
function FormatTimeZoneOffset(EffectiveTimeOffsetMins: integer): AnsiString;
|
205 |
function DecodeTimeZoneOffset(TZOffset: AnsiString; var dstOffset: integer): boolean;
|
206 |
|
207 |
13. IDPB, ITPB and ISPB: new interface method
|
208 |
function AddByTypeName(ParamTypeName: AnsiString): IDPBItem/ITPBItem/ISPBItem;
|
209 |
This is used to add a parameter block item by the string equivalent of its
|
210 |
symbolic type name. e.g. DPB.AddByTypeName('isc_dpb_user_name').AsString := '...'
|
211 |
|
212 |
14. IDPBItem/ITPBItem/ISPBItem: new interface method:
|
213 |
function getParamTypeName: AnsiString;
|
214 |
|
215 |
15. fb_shutdown now called before unloading Firebird library. This can avoid a
|
216 |
SIGEVENT error when a programme using the embeded server is unloaded.
|
217 |
|
218 |
FBINTF Change Log version (1.1-6 Build 12237) Tue, 21 Jul 2020 08:54:21 +0100
|
219 |
|
220 |
1. GetImplementationVersion now correctly returns '3.0' for Firebird 3 API
|
221 |
with a Firebrid 3 client library.
|
222 |
|
223 |
2. Linux Only: FIREBIRD environment variable is now checked when loading the client library.
|
224 |
If a client library path is not explicitly provided and the FIREBIRD environment
|
225 |
variable is set then the directory given by this variable and any 'lib' subdirectory
|
226 |
are searched for the Firebird client library. Only if none is found, is the default
|
227 |
client library used.
|
228 |
|
229 |
3. IUtil.FormatStatus now used to format error messages when using new API
|
230 |
|
231 |
4. Fixed Array SDL: array_desc_scale now correctly encoded as a signed integer.
|
232 |
|
233 |
5. SQL_TEXT handling changed. When the value of an SQL_TEXT (i.e. fixed width string) column is
|
234 |
returned using GetAsString and the string codepage is UTF8, the string is truncated so
|
235 |
that the byte length corresponds to the number of characters specified for the column.
|
236 |
SQL_TEXT strings are no longer automatically trimmed to remove all trailing white space. This is
|
237 |
correct behaviour but may affect some implementations that relied upon automatic
|
238 |
trimming of trailing white space.
|
239 |
|
240 |
6. New IFirebirdAPI Calls:
|
241 |
function GetClientMajor: integer;
|
242 |
function GetClientMinor: integer;
|
243 |
|
244 |
7. IColumnMetaData and IArrayMetaData: new method
|
245 |
function GetCharSetWidth: integer;
|
246 |
|
247 |
FBINTF Change Log version (1.1-5 Build 12022) Fri, 17 Apr 2020 10:35:55 +0100
|
248 |
|
249 |
1. ISQLParams.GetHasCaseSensitiveParams added. Returns true if param names are
|
250 |
case sensitive
|
251 |
|
252 |
2. Single line SQL comments starting with '--' are now recognised by SQL Parser.
|
253 |
|
254 |
3. New API Calls:
|
255 |
IColumnMetaData.GetStatement
|
256 |
IColumnMetaData.GetTransaction
|
257 |
ISQLData.GetStrDataLength
|
258 |
IResults.GetStatement
|
259 |
IAttachment.OpenBlob (using Blob metadata)
|
260 |
IAttachment.OpenArray (using array metadata)
|
261 |
|
262 |
4. FBMessages: removal of unused messages
|
263 |
|
264 |
5. TFBArray.Create (2nd case): ensure that FFirebirdClientAPI is correctly set.
|
265 |
|
266 |
6. TIBSQLStatementType: SQLSavePoint added to end of enumeration.
|
267 |
|
268 |
FBINTF Change Log version (1.1-4 Build 11515) Fri, 28 Dec 2018 10:04:19 +0000
|
269 |
|
270 |
1. Fix a problem with the SQL parameter parser that failed to recognise parameters
|
271 |
where the second character of the parameter name is a numeric.
|
272 |
|
273 |
2. New method for IAttachment: procedure getFBVersion(version: TStrings);
|
274 |
This returns the isc_version connection information as one or more lines.
|
275 |
This is the same information as returned by isql with the -z option.
|
276 |
|
277 |
3. If -dFIREBIRD3APIONLY is used as a compiler option then the legacy Firebird API
|
278 |
is no longer compiled in. Likewise, if -dLEGACYFIREBIRDAPIONLY is used as a
|
279 |
compiler option then the Firebird 3 API is no longer compiled in.
|
280 |
|
281 |
4. IColumnMetaData: new method.
|
282 |
|
283 |
TIBDateTimeFormats = (dfTimestamp, {SQL TIMESTAMP}
|
284 |
dfDateTime, {SQL DATETIME}
|
285 |
dfTime);
|
286 |
|
287 |
function GetDateTimeStrLength(DateTimeFormat: TIBDateTimeFormats): integer;
|
288 |
|
289 |
This returns the max. number of characters returned by the "AsString" method
|
290 |
when the SQL type of the column is respectively TIMESTAMP, DATETIME or TIME.
|
291 |
|
292 |
5. Additional argument for IAttachment.PrepareWithNamedParameters -
|
293 |
CaseSensitiveParams: boolean = false
|
294 |
|
295 |
If this argument is set to true then SQL parameter names are assumed to be case
|
296 |
sensitive and must be referenced (using ISQLParams.ByName) using the case
|
297 |
sensitive name.
|
298 |
|
299 |
6. Bug fix: when setting a query parameter, it is now possible, when the parameter
|
300 |
is of type VarChar or Char to set the parameter to a numeric value (e.g. using
|
301 |
.AsCurrency) and then subsequently to update the value to a non-numeric string
|
302 |
using .AsString.
|
303 |
|
304 |
|
305 |
|
306 |
FBINTF Change Log version (1.1-3) Wed, 05 Dec 2018 14:28:10 +0000
|
307 |
|
308 |
1. DARWIN only syntax error: fix missing semi-colon in TFBClientAPI.LoadIBLibrary
|
309 |
|
310 |
2. Restrict IsMultiThread check to Unix only for compatibility with
|
311 |
https://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=30535
|
312 |
|
313 |
3. New SQL Tokeniser added to IBUtils. This is used to pre-process SQL with
|
314 |
named parameters and is intended to avoid problems with (e.g.) Execute Block
|
315 |
and processing internal parameters as statement parameters.
|
316 |
|
317 |
4. New interface IFirebirdLibrary provides access to the underlying firebird DLL
|
318 |
or shared object. Available via a new member (GetFBLibrary) of IFirebirdAPI.
|
319 |
|
320 |
5. New function added to IB.pas
|
321 |
|
322 |
function LoadFBLibrary(aLibPathName: string): IFirebirdLibrary
|
323 |
|
324 |
This allows a Firebird Library to be loaded from an explicit path. use the
|
325 |
IFirebirdLibrary.GetFirebirdAPI member function to get the Firebird API using
|
326 |
the library. It is possible to load Firebird libraries from different locations
|
327 |
simultaneously, each with a distinct IFirebirdAPI.
|
328 |
|
329 |
FBINTF Change Log version (1.1-2) Mon, 16 Apr 2018 09:30:32 +0100
|
330 |
|
331 |
1. Firebird.pas: {$OBJECTCHECKS OFF} added to file to avoid runtime error when
|
332 |
program compiled with -CR command line switch.
|
333 |
|
334 |
2. IServiceManager additions (informational):
|
335 |
function getProtocol: TProtocol;
|
336 |
function getPortNo: AnsiString;
|
337 |
|
338 |
3. IServiceManager improved error handling. Interfaces changed:
|
339 |
function Start(Request: ISRB; RaiseExceptionOnError: boolean=true): boolean;
|
340 |
function Query(SQPB: ISQPB; Request: ISRB; RaiseExceptionOnError: boolean=true) :IServiceQueryResults; overload;
|
341 |
function Query(Request: ISRB; RaiseExceptionOnError: boolean=true) :IServiceQueryResults; overload;
|
342 |
|
343 |
4. IAttachment addition (informational)
|
344 |
function GetSecurityDatabase: AnsiString;
|
345 |
|
346 |
5. IStatement: performance counters now updated after each Fetch. GetPerfStatistics
|
347 |
thus now returns accumulated stats for a select statement from opening a cursor
|
348 |
up to the last fetch.
|
349 |
|
350 |
6. DARWIN: uloadlibrary.inc bug fix. Many thanks to Luigi Naimi for correcting
|
351 |
the problem.
|
352 |
|
353 |
7. Type change: "TPerfCounters = array[TPerfStats] of Int64". Note "Int64"
|
354 |
replaces deprecated "comp" type.
|
355 |
|
356 |
10. Testsuite Test10 updated to include thread synchronisation for event reporting.
|
357 |
|
358 |
11. URL Connection Strings: inet4 and inet6 now recognised.
|
359 |
|
360 |
12. IBUtils: Parse and Make Connect String now recognise URL style loopback syntax.
|
361 |
|
362 |
13. IAttachment.CharSetName2CharSetID is now performed case insensitive.
|
363 |
|
364 |
|
365 |
FBINTF Change Log version (1.1-1) Tue, 27 Feb 2018 16:51:16 +0000
|
366 |
|
367 |
1. IBUtils.QuoteIdentifierIfNeeded: Add check for space character.
|
368 |
|
369 |
2. IAttachment: add two new methods
|
370 |
function HasDefaultCharSet: boolean;
|
371 |
function GetDefaultCharSetID: integer;
|
372 |
|
373 |
These return, respectively, true if a connection default character set was
|
374 |
specified and the character set id of the connection default character set.
|
375 |
The DefaultCharSetID is cached when the connection is opened and hence does not
|
376 |
require a database lookup.
|
377 |
|
378 |
3. Avoid exception when a text blob is a stored procedure parameter.
|
379 |
|
380 |
4. Update test suite to include a test for a stored proc returning a text blob.
|
381 |
|
382 |
5. IAttachment: add
|
383 |
function GetRemoteProtocol: AnsiString;
|
384 |
function GetODSMajorVersion: integer;
|
385 |
function GetODSMinorVersion: integer;
|
386 |
function GetAuthenticationMethod: AnsiString;
|
387 |
|
388 |
These results are cached when the connection is opened and hence do not
|
389 |
require a database lookup.
|
390 |
|
391 |
6. IAttachment: add "function GetConnectString: AnsiString;" This returns the
|
392 |
connect string used to create/connect to the database.
|
393 |
|
394 |
7. IAttachment: Create Database using SQL statement. The username and password
|
395 |
are now extracted and used to populate a DPB made available via IAttachment.getDPB.
|
396 |
It is now possible to use IAttachment disconnect/connect to reconnect to
|
397 |
a database for which the initial connection was established by a create
|
398 |
database sql statement. Available in FPC only.
|
399 |
|
400 |
8. Update Test 1 to test 5, 6 and 7 above.
|
401 |
|
402 |
9. IBUtils code tidy up.
|
403 |
|
404 |
10. Parameter Block interfaces "find" method. As documented, this should have
|
405 |
returned a nil interface when the item could not be found. Instead, an empty
|
406 |
interface item was returned. "Find" now works as documented and will return
|
407 |
a nil interface if the item cannot be found.
|
408 |
|
409 |
11. DBInformation: support added for isc_info_active_tran_count and isc_info_creation_date.
|
410 |
|
411 |
12. DBInformation: New interfaces: IDIRB and IDIRBItem added to support DB Information
|
412 |
requests with additional parameters. This is to enable support for fb_info_page_contents
|
413 |
(return of page contents). Response to fb_info_page_contents returned as
|
414 |
a string with code page CP_NONE.
|
415 |
|
416 |
13. DBInformation: Support for fb_info_pages_used and fb_info_pages_free added, plus
|
417 |
test suite updated.
|
418 |
|
419 |
14. DBInformation: Support for fb_info_crypt_key (Firebird 3.0.3 onwards) added as
|
420 |
a string type, and fb_info_conn_flags (Firebird 3.0.3 onwards) added as an integer type.
|
421 |
|
422 |
15. Service Manager: List of protocols supported expanded to include inet, wnet and xnet.
|
423 |
An overloaded version of IIFirebirdAPI.GetServiceManager also allows a non
|
424 |
default connection port to be specified.
|
425 |
|
426 |
FBINTF Change Log version (1.1-0) Sun, 07 Jan 2018 15:20:02 +0000
|
427 |
|
428 |
1. Fix issues with setting SQL Param values using SetAsString with Numeric types.
|
429 |
Scale is no longer ignored.
|
430 |
|
431 |
2. Fix issues with setting SQL Param values using SetAsString with Date values
|
432 |
not in locale format but which are recognised by Firebird. Date values that
|
433 |
cannot be converted to a string using Pascal library are now passed through
|
434 |
to Firebird as Text Strings.
|
435 |
|
436 |
3. Lookup character set name by codepage amended to ensure that CP_UTF8 returns
|
437 |
UTF8 and not UNICODE_FSS.
|
438 |
|
439 |
4. Charset ID problem. When using Firebird 3, with no default database character set
|
440 |
and a column has a non-default collation specified, an incorrect character set
|
441 |
id was being reported that could result in a 'division by zero' error when
|
442 |
used by IBX. This has now been fixed.
|
443 |
|
444 |
5. Move GetCharsetName, CharSetID2CodePage, CodePage2CharSetID, CharSetName2CharSetID,
|
445 |
CharSetWidth from IFirebirdAPI to IAttachment. This is a better data model as
|
446 |
the character sets supported can be updated on a per database basis. That is
|
447 |
it is possible to add a (Firebird) user defined character set to a database.
|
448 |
|
449 |
6. Add RegisterCharSet to IAttachment. This is used to register a user defined character
|
450 |
set supported by Firebird with the API.
|
451 |
|
452 |
7. Add missing isc_info_db_read_only to list of decoded Database Information items
|
453 |
in FBOutputBlock.pas and update test suite to include this item.
|
454 |
|
455 |
8. FB30Client: avoid always using "StartMultiple" when only a single database attachment.
|
456 |
|
457 |
9. Loading Windows fbclient.dll: when using the FIREBIRD variable to locate the client
|
458 |
library or finding it by disk location, the PATH environment variable is now also set to
|
459 |
include the FIREBIRD directory. This is to ensure that the correct dlls in the
|
460 |
firebird client library dependencies are loaded.
|
461 |
|
462 |
10. Testsuite: Ensure consistent UTF-8 output on Windows console.
|
463 |
|
464 |
11. Testsuite: Update Windows script to include FPC 3.0.4 in search path.
|
465 |
|
466 |
12. FB30Statement: Protect call to "Move" and avoid calling with a nil pointer
|
467 |
|
468 |
13. FB30Statement: A check has been added to ensure that all SQL Parameters
|
469 |
have been given a value (including NULL). Previously, failing to set the
|
470 |
value of an SQL Parameter could give rise to unpredictable results or
|
471 |
an SQLDA error.
|
472 |
|
473 |
14. FB30Statement/FB25Statement: Set SQLParam "modified" when string value set.
|
474 |
|
475 |
15. FBAttachment: Avoid string reference count error when processing an Ansistring
|
476 |
parameter in an array of const passed to IAttachment.OpenCursor, etc.
|
477 |
|
478 |
16. FBAttachment: Allow for WideString and UnicodeString parameters in an array
|
479 |
of const passed to IAttachment.OpenCursor, etc.
|
480 |
|
481 |
|
482 |
FBINTF Change Log version (1.0-2) Sat, 04 Mar 2017 14:43:56 +0000
|
483 |
|
484 |
1. Change syntax to Mode Delphi
|
485 |
|
486 |
2. Change all uses of string type to explicit AnsiString in order to ensure
|
487 |
compatibility between Delphi and FPC.
|
488 |
|
489 |
3. Various syntax changes to ensure Delphi and FPC compilation including GUIDs
|
490 |
defined for each interface.
|
491 |
|
492 |
4. Generics syntax variations for Delphi added
|
493 |
|
494 |
5. PChar replaced with PByte expect where an actual string is being referenced,
|
495 |
where PAnsiChar is used instead.
|
496 |
|
497 |
6. Review of type definitions in IBExternals to ensure Delphi compatibility
|
498 |
|
499 |
7. Testsuite updated for Delphi
|
500 |
|
501 |
FBINTF Change Log version (1.0-1) Fri, 24 Feb 2017 12:17:57 +0000
|
502 |
|
503 |
1. Limit maximum Blob segment read/write to MaxuShort. Avoids data loss with
|
504 |
large blobs and the FB3 API.
|
505 |
|
506 |
2. Update Event Handling algorithm to avoid looping due to recreation of the
|
507 |
event block.
|
508 |
|
509 |
3. Avoid invalid XSQLDA error when the only parameter is updated to null
|
510 |
|
511 |
4. Array Handling: fix problem with text arrays with character set none. When the
|
512 |
DB connection has a default character set (e.g. UTF8), an error is raised by
|
513 |
Firebird if the space allocated is not enough to allow for transliteration, even
|
514 |
though it is not required for character set none.
|
515 |
|
516 |
5. IBUtils: List of reserved words brought up-to-date
|
517 |
|
518 |
6. Add ISQL style performance statistics collection to IStatement
|
519 |
|
520 |
7. Add IFirebirdAPI.CreateDatabase variant to allow execution of user provided
|
521 |
CREATE DATABASE statement.
|
522 |
|
523 |
8. Update SQL Statement parsing to allow for Array Dimensions. That is so that the ':' in
|
524 |
an array dimension is not mistaken for a named parameter prefix.
|
525 |
|
526 |
9. Trim function no longer applied to result of GetAsString for SQL_TEXT
|
527 |
when Character set is octets. Avoids loss of non printable characters at start of string.
|
528 |
|
529 |
10. Add function GetPerfStatistics to IStatement. This returns ISQL like performance
|
530 |
statistics for the last action. Requires use of procedure IStatement.EnableStatistics
|
531 |
to enable stats gathering.
|
532 |
|
533 |
11. API Version information added as constants to IB.pas
|
534 |
|
535 |
12. BlobMetaData character set id should now be the same as that given by IColumnMetaData.GetCharSetID
|
536 |
|
537 |
13. Firebird Character set "NONE" now interpreted as codepage CP_ACP.
|
538 |
|
539 |
