2 tony 59
3 tony 209 1. Firebird.pas: {$OBJECTCHECKS OFF} added to file to avoid runtime error when
4     program compiled with -CR command line switch.
5    
6     2. IServiceManager additions (informational):
7     function getProtocol: TProtocol;
8     function getPortNo: AnsiString;
9    
10     3. IServiceManager improved error handling. Interfaces changed:
11     function Start(Request: ISRB; RaiseExceptionOnError: boolean=true): boolean;
12     function Query(SQPB: ISQPB; Request: ISRB; RaiseExceptionOnError: boolean=true) :IServiceQueryResults; overload;
13     function Query(Request: ISRB; RaiseExceptionOnError: boolean=true) :IServiceQueryResults; overload;
14    
15     4. IAttachment addition (informational)
16     function GetSecurityDatabase: AnsiString;
17    
18     5. IStatement: performance counters now updated after each Fetch. GetPerfStatistics
19     thus now returns accumulated stats for a select statement from opening a cursor
20     up to the last fetch.
21    
22     6. DARWIN: uloadlibrary.inc bug fix. Many thanks to Luigi Naimi for correcting
23     the problem.
24    
25     7. Type change: "TPerfCounters = array[TPerfStats] of Int64". Note "Int64"
26     replaces deprecated "comp" type.
27    
28 tony 217 10. Testsuite Test10 updated to include thread synchronisation for event reporting.
29 tony 209
30 tony 231 11. URL Connection Strings: inet4 and inet6 now recognised.
31 tony 217
32 tony 231 12. IBUtils: Parse and Make Connect String now recognise URL style loopback syntax.
33    
34    
35 tony 209 FBINTF Change Log version (1.1-1) Tue, 27 Feb 2018 16:51:16 +0000
36    
37 tony 107 1. IBUtils.QuoteIdentifierIfNeeded: Add check for space character.
38    
39 tony 109 2. IAttachment: add two new methods
40     function HasDefaultCharSet: boolean;
41     function GetDefaultCharSetID: integer;
42    
43     These return, respectively, true if a connection default character set was
44 tony 117 specified and the character set id of the connection default character set.
45     The DefaultCharSetID is cached when the connection is opened and hence does not
46     require a database lookup.
47 tony 109
48 tony 110 3. Avoid exception when a text blob is a stored procedure parameter.
49 tony 109
50 tony 111 4. Update test suite to include a test for a stored proc returning a text blob.
51    
52 tony 117 5. IAttachment: add
53     function GetRemoteProtocol: AnsiString;
54     function GetODSMajorVersion: integer;
55     function GetODSMinorVersion: integer;
56 tony 143 function GetAuthenticationMethod: AnsiString;
57 tony 117
58     These results are cached when the connection is opened and hence do not
59     require a database lookup.
60    
61     6. IAttachment: add "function GetConnectString: AnsiString;" This returns the
62     connect string used to create/connect to the database.
63    
64     7. IAttachment: Create Database using SQL statement. The username and password
65     are now extracted and used to populate a DPB made available via IAttachment.getDPB.
66     It is now possible to use IAttachment disconnect/connect to reconnect to
67     a database for which the initial connection was established by a create
68 tony 120 database sql statement. Available in FPC only.
69 tony 117
70     8. Update Test 1 to test 5, 6 and 7 above.
71    
72     9. IBUtils code tidy up.
73    
74 tony 143 10. Parameter Block interfaces "find" method. As documented, this should have
75     returned a nil interface when the item could not be found. Instead, an empty
76     interface item was returned. "Find" now works as documented and will return
77     a nil interface if the item cannot be found.
78    
79     11. DBInformation: support added for isc_info_active_tran_count and isc_info_creation_date.
80    
81     12. DBInformation: New interfaces: IDIRB and IDIRBItem added to support DB Information
82     requests with additional parameters. This is to enable support for fb_info_page_contents
83     (return of page contents). Response to fb_info_page_contents returned as
84     a string with code page CP_NONE.
85    
86     13. DBInformation: Support for fb_info_pages_used and fb_info_pages_free added, plus
87     test suite updated.
88    
89     14. DBInformation: Support for fb_info_crypt_key (Firebird 3.0.3 onwards) added as
90     a string type, and fb_info_conn_flags (Firebird 3.0.3 onwards) added as an integer type.
91    
92     15. Service Manager: List of protocols supported expanded to include inet, wnet and xnet.
93     An overloaded version of IIFirebirdAPI.GetServiceManager also allows a non
94     default connection port to be specified.
95    
96 tony 107 FBINTF Change Log version (1.1-0) Sun, 07 Jan 2018 15:20:02 +0000
97    
98 tony 59 1. Fix issues with setting SQL Param values using SetAsString with Numeric types.
99     Scale is no longer ignored.
100    
101     2. Fix issues with setting SQL Param values using SetAsString with Date values
102     not in locale format but which are recognised by Firebird. Date values that
103     cannot be converted to a string using Pascal library are now passed through
104     to Firebird as Text Strings.
105    
106 tony 60 3. Lookup character set name by codepage amended to ensure that CP_UTF8 returns
107     UTF8 and not UNICODE_FSS.
108    
109     4. Charset ID problem. When using Firebird 3, with no default database character set
110     and a column has a non-default collation specified, an incorrect character set
111     id was being reported that could result in a 'division by zero' error when
112     used by IBX. This has now been fixed.
113    
114     5. Move GetCharsetName, CharSetID2CodePage, CodePage2CharSetID, CharSetName2CharSetID,
115     CharSetWidth from IFirebirdAPI to IAttachment. This is a better data model as
116     the character sets supported can be updated on a per database basis. That is
117     it is possible to add a (Firebird) user defined character set to a database.
118    
119     6. Add RegisterCharSet to IAttachment. This is used to register a user defined character
120     set supported by Firebird with the API.
121    
122 tony 61 7. Add missing isc_info_db_read_only to list of decoded Database Information items
123     in FBOutputBlock.pas and update test suite to include this item.
124 tony 60
125 tony 63 8. FB30Client: avoid always using "StartMultiple" when only a single database attachment.
126 tony 61
127 tony 68 9. Loading Windows fbclient.dll: when using the FIREBIRD variable to locate the client
128     library or finding it by disk location, the PATH environment variable is now also set to
129     include the FIREBIRD directory. This is to ensure that the correct dlls in the
130     firebird client library dependencies are loaded.
131 tony 63
132 tony 68 10. Testsuite: Ensure consistent UTF-8 output on Windows console.
133    
134     11. Testsuite: Update Windows script to include FPC 3.0.4 in search path.
135    
136     12. FB30Statement: Protect call to "Move" and avoid calling with a nil pointer
137    
138     13. FB30Statement: A check has been added to ensure that all SQL Parameters
139     have been given a value (including NULL). Previously, failing to set the
140     value of an SQL Parameter could give rise to unpredictable results or
141     an SQLDA error.
142    
143     14. FB30Statement/FB25Statement: Set SQLParam "modified" when string value set.
144    
145 tony 70 15. FBAttachment: Avoid string reference count error when processing an Ansistring
146     parameter in an array of const passed to IAttachment.OpenCursor, etc.
147 tony 68
148 tony 70 16. FBAttachment: Allow for WideString and UnicodeString parameters in an array
149     of const passed to IAttachment.OpenCursor, etc.
150

152 tony 56 FBINTF Change Log version (1.0-2) Sat, 04 Mar 2017 14:43:56 +0000
153 tony 47
154 tony 56 1. Change syntax to Mode Delphi
155    
156     2. Change all uses of string type to explicit AnsiString in order to ensure
157     compatibility between Delphi and FPC.
158    
159     3. Various syntax changes to ensure Delphi and FPC compilation including GUIDs
160     defined for each interface.
161    
162     4. Generics syntax variations for Delphi added
163    
164     5. PChar replaced with PByte expect where an actual string is being referenced,
165     where PAnsiChar is used instead.
166    
167     6. Review of type definitions in IBExternals to ensure Delphi compatibility
168    
169     7. Testsuite updated for Delphi
170    
171     FBINTF Change Log version (1.0-1) Fri, 24 Feb 2017 12:17:57 +0000
172    
173 tony 47 1. Limit maximum Blob segment read/write to MaxuShort. Avoids data loss with
174     large blobs and the FB3 API.
175    
176     2. Update Event Handling algorithm to avoid looping due to recreation of the
177     event block.
178    
179     3. Avoid invalid XSQLDA error when the only parameter is updated to null
180    
181     4. Array Handling: fix problem with text arrays with character set none. When the
182     DB connection has a default character set (e.g. UTF8), an error is raised by
183     Firebird if the space allocated is not enough to allow for transliteration, even
184     though it is not required for character set none.
185    
186     5. IBUtils: List of reserved words brought up-to-date
187    
188     6. Add ISQL style performance statistics collection to IStatement
189    
190     7. Add IFirebirdAPI.CreateDatabase variant to allow execution of user provided
191     CREATE DATABASE statement.
192    
193     8. Update SQL Statement parsing to allow for Array Dimensions. That is so that the ':' in
194     an array dimension is not mistaken for a named parameter prefix.
195    
196     9. Trim function no longer applied to result of GetAsString for SQL_TEXT
197     when Character set is octets. Avoids loss of non printable characters at start of string.
198    
199     10. Add function GetPerfStatistics to IStatement. This returns ISQL like performance
200     statistics for the last action. Requires use of procedure IStatement.EnableStatistics
201     to enable stats gathering.
202    
203     11. API Version information added as constants to IB.pas
204    
205     12. BlobMetaData character set id should now be the same as that given by IColumnMetaData.GetCharSetID
206    
207     13. Firebird Character set "NONE" now interpreted as codepage CP_ACP.
