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 tony 233 13. IAttachment.CharSetName2CharSetID is now performed case insensitive.
35 tony 231

37 tony 209 FBINTF Change Log version (1.1-1) Tue, 27 Feb 2018 16:51:16 +0000
38    
39 tony 107 1. IBUtils.QuoteIdentifierIfNeeded: Add check for space character.
40    
41 tony 109 2. IAttachment: add two new methods
42     function HasDefaultCharSet: boolean;
43     function GetDefaultCharSetID: integer;
44    
45     These return, respectively, true if a connection default character set was
46 tony 117 specified and the character set id of the connection default character set.
47     The DefaultCharSetID is cached when the connection is opened and hence does not
48     require a database lookup.
49 tony 109
50 tony 110 3. Avoid exception when a text blob is a stored procedure parameter.
51 tony 109
52 tony 111 4. Update test suite to include a test for a stored proc returning a text blob.
53    
54 tony 117 5. IAttachment: add
55     function GetRemoteProtocol: AnsiString;
56     function GetODSMajorVersion: integer;
57     function GetODSMinorVersion: integer;
58 tony 143 function GetAuthenticationMethod: AnsiString;
59 tony 117
60     These results are cached when the connection is opened and hence do not
61     require a database lookup.
62    
63     6. IAttachment: add "function GetConnectString: AnsiString;" This returns the
64     connect string used to create/connect to the database.
65    
66     7. IAttachment: Create Database using SQL statement. The username and password
67     are now extracted and used to populate a DPB made available via IAttachment.getDPB.
68     It is now possible to use IAttachment disconnect/connect to reconnect to
69     a database for which the initial connection was established by a create
70 tony 120 database sql statement. Available in FPC only.
71 tony 117
72     8. Update Test 1 to test 5, 6 and 7 above.
73    
74     9. IBUtils code tidy up.
75    
76 tony 143 10. Parameter Block interfaces "find" method. As documented, this should have
77     returned a nil interface when the item could not be found. Instead, an empty
78     interface item was returned. "Find" now works as documented and will return
79     a nil interface if the item cannot be found.
80    
81     11. DBInformation: support added for isc_info_active_tran_count and isc_info_creation_date.
82    
83     12. DBInformation: New interfaces: IDIRB and IDIRBItem added to support DB Information
84     requests with additional parameters. This is to enable support for fb_info_page_contents
85     (return of page contents). Response to fb_info_page_contents returned as
86     a string with code page CP_NONE.
87    
88     13. DBInformation: Support for fb_info_pages_used and fb_info_pages_free added, plus
89     test suite updated.
90    
91     14. DBInformation: Support for fb_info_crypt_key (Firebird 3.0.3 onwards) added as
92     a string type, and fb_info_conn_flags (Firebird 3.0.3 onwards) added as an integer type.
93    
94     15. Service Manager: List of protocols supported expanded to include inet, wnet and xnet.
95     An overloaded version of IIFirebirdAPI.GetServiceManager also allows a non
96     default connection port to be specified.
97    
98 tony 107 FBINTF Change Log version (1.1-0) Sun, 07 Jan 2018 15:20:02 +0000
99    
100 tony 59 1. Fix issues with setting SQL Param values using SetAsString with Numeric types.
101     Scale is no longer ignored.
102    
103     2. Fix issues with setting SQL Param values using SetAsString with Date values
104     not in locale format but which are recognised by Firebird. Date values that
105     cannot be converted to a string using Pascal library are now passed through
106     to Firebird as Text Strings.
107    
108 tony 60 3. Lookup character set name by codepage amended to ensure that CP_UTF8 returns
109     UTF8 and not UNICODE_FSS.
110    
111     4. Charset ID problem. When using Firebird 3, with no default database character set
112     and a column has a non-default collation specified, an incorrect character set
113     id was being reported that could result in a 'division by zero' error when
114     used by IBX. This has now been fixed.
115    
116     5. Move GetCharsetName, CharSetID2CodePage, CodePage2CharSetID, CharSetName2CharSetID,
117     CharSetWidth from IFirebirdAPI to IAttachment. This is a better data model as
118     the character sets supported can be updated on a per database basis. That is
119     it is possible to add a (Firebird) user defined character set to a database.
120    
121     6. Add RegisterCharSet to IAttachment. This is used to register a user defined character
122     set supported by Firebird with the API.
123    
124 tony 61 7. Add missing isc_info_db_read_only to list of decoded Database Information items
125     in FBOutputBlock.pas and update test suite to include this item.
126 tony 60
127 tony 63 8. FB30Client: avoid always using "StartMultiple" when only a single database attachment.
128 tony 61
129 tony 68 9. Loading Windows fbclient.dll: when using the FIREBIRD variable to locate the client
130     library or finding it by disk location, the PATH environment variable is now also set to
131     include the FIREBIRD directory. This is to ensure that the correct dlls in the
132     firebird client library dependencies are loaded.
133 tony 63
134 tony 68 10. Testsuite: Ensure consistent UTF-8 output on Windows console.
135    
136     11. Testsuite: Update Windows script to include FPC 3.0.4 in search path.
137    
138     12. FB30Statement: Protect call to "Move" and avoid calling with a nil pointer
139    
140     13. FB30Statement: A check has been added to ensure that all SQL Parameters
141     have been given a value (including NULL). Previously, failing to set the
142     value of an SQL Parameter could give rise to unpredictable results or
143     an SQLDA error.
144    
145     14. FB30Statement/FB25Statement: Set SQLParam "modified" when string value set.
146    
147 tony 70 15. FBAttachment: Avoid string reference count error when processing an Ansistring
148     parameter in an array of const passed to IAttachment.OpenCursor, etc.
149 tony 68
150 tony 70 16. FBAttachment: Allow for WideString and UnicodeString parameters in an array
151     of const passed to IAttachment.OpenCursor, etc.
152    
153    
154 tony 56 FBINTF Change Log version (1.0-2) Sat, 04 Mar 2017 14:43:56 +0000
155 tony 47
156 tony 56 1. Change syntax to Mode Delphi
157    
158     2. Change all uses of string type to explicit AnsiString in order to ensure
159     compatibility between Delphi and FPC.
160    
161     3. Various syntax changes to ensure Delphi and FPC compilation including GUIDs
162     defined for each interface.
163    
164     4. Generics syntax variations for Delphi added
165    
166     5. PChar replaced with PByte expect where an actual string is being referenced,
167     where PAnsiChar is used instead.
168    
169     6. Review of type definitions in IBExternals to ensure Delphi compatibility
170    
171     7. Testsuite updated for Delphi
172    
173     FBINTF Change Log version (1.0-1) Fri, 24 Feb 2017 12:17:57 +0000
174    
175 tony 47 1. Limit maximum Blob segment read/write to MaxuShort. Avoids data loss with
176     large blobs and the FB3 API.
177    
178     2. Update Event Handling algorithm to avoid looping due to recreation of the
179     event block.
180    
181     3. Avoid invalid XSQLDA error when the only parameter is updated to null
182    
183     4. Array Handling: fix problem with text arrays with character set none. When the
184     DB connection has a default character set (e.g. UTF8), an error is raised by
185     Firebird if the space allocated is not enough to allow for transliteration, even
186     though it is not required for character set none.
187    
188     5. IBUtils: List of reserved words brought up-to-date
189    
190     6. Add ISQL style performance statistics collection to IStatement
191    
192     7. Add IFirebirdAPI.CreateDatabase variant to allow execution of user provided
193     CREATE DATABASE statement.
194    
195     8. Update SQL Statement parsing to allow for Array Dimensions. That is so that the ':' in
196     an array dimension is not mistaken for a named parameter prefix.
197    
198     9. Trim function no longer applied to result of GetAsString for SQL_TEXT
199     when Character set is octets. Avoids loss of non printable characters at start of string.
200    
201     10. Add function GetPerfStatistics to IStatement. This returns ISQL like performance
202     statistics for the last action. Requires use of procedure IStatement.EnableStatistics
203     to enable stats gathering.
204    
205     11. API Version information added as constants to IB.pas
206    
207     12. BlobMetaData character set id should now be the same as that given by IColumnMetaData.GetCharSetID
208    
209     13. Firebird Character set "NONE" now interpreted as codepage CP_ACP.
