{
  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.

  {The Database Parameter Block (DPB).

   The DPB provides the parameters used when connecting to a database. It is allocated
   empty by the FirebirdAPI and the parameters are then added to it. Each individual
   parameter may be accessed by the IDPBItem interface which can be used to set the
   value, if any, of the parameter.

   The DPB parameters, and the associated symbolic codes and parameter values may be
   found in the Interbase 6.0 API Guide.

  {The IAttachment interface provides access to a Database Connection. It may be
   used to:

   a. Disconnect and reconnect to the database.

   b. Start a Transaction on the database

   c. Execute directly SQL DDL Statements and others that return no information.

   d. OpenCursors (i.e. execute SQL Select statements and return the results)

   e. Prepare SQL Statements, returning an IStatement interface for further processing.

   f. Provide access to an SQL Event Handler.

   g. Access Database Information.

   h. Support the handling of Array and Blob data.

   Note that SQL statements can be prepared with named parameters (PSQL style).
   This then allows the parameters to be accessed by name. The same name can
   be used for more than one parameter, allowing a single operation to be used
   to set all parameters with the same name.
