{
  This unit defines the interfaces used to provide the Pascal Language
  bindings for the Firebird API. These are COM style references counted interfaces
  and are automatically freed when they go out of scope.

  The interface definition is independent of the Firebird API version and two
  implementations are provided. One is for the legacy API (2.5 and earlier) and the
  other is for the new object orientated API (3.0 and later). By default, both are
  available with the 3.0 API used if it is available. Otherwise the 2.5 API is used.
  The above two defines can be used to force only one implementation by undefining
  the symbol for the unwanted API.

  Note that the FirebirdAPI function defined below is used for initial access to
  the language bindings.

  The goals of these Pascal Langauge bindings are to provide:

  1. A set of reference counted interfaces providing complete access to the Firebird API.

  2. Application Independence from the Firebird API version.

  3. All data access through strongly typed variables and functions with no need for
     the end user to manipulate untyped data in buffers such as the legacy API SQLDA
     or the Firebird 3.0 message buffer.

  4. A stable platform for LCL Packages (e.g. IBX) that implement the TDataSet model
     with independence from the Firebird API version.

  5. Straightforward progammatic access to the Firebird API from Pascal programs.

  6. FPC and Delphi Support.

  String Types
  ============

  From FPC 3.0 onwards, ANSISTRINGs include the codepage in their definition. All
  strings used by the interface are sensitive to the codepage in that the codepage
  for all strings returned by an interface is consistent with the SQL Character set
  used for the database connection. Input strings will be transliterated, where possible
  and if necessary, to the codepage consistent with the character set used for
  the database connection.
