This is rc2 for 1.1.4 |
| 4 |
> |
|
| 5 |
> |
1. Fix a problem with the SQL parameter parser that failed to recognise parameters |
| 6 |
> |
where the second character of the parameter name is a numeric. |
| 7 |
> |
|
| 8 |
> |
2. New method for IAttachment: procedure getFBVersion(version: TStrings); |
| 9 |
> |
This returns the isc_version connection information as one or more lines. |
| 10 |
> |
This is the same information as returned by isql with the -z option. |

> |
1. DARWIN only syntax error: fix missing semi-colon in TFBClientAPI.LoadIBLibrary |
| 16 |
> |
|
| 17 |
> |
2. Restrict IsMultiThread check to Unix only for compatibility with |
| 18 |
> |
https://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=30535 |
| 19 |
> |
|
| 20 |
> |
3. New SQL Tokeniser added to IBUtils. This is used to pre-process SQL with |
| 21 |
> |
named parameters and is intended to avoid problems with (e.g.) Execute Block |
| 22 |
> |
and processing internal parameters as statement parameters. |
| 23 |
> |
|
| 24 |
> |
4. New interface IFirebirdLibrary provides access to the underlying firebird DLL |
| 25 |
> |
or shared object. Available via a new member (GetFBLibrary) of IFirebirdAPI. |
| 26 |
> |
|
| 27 |
> |
5. New function added to IB.pas |
| 28 |
> |
|
| 29 |
> |
function LoadFBLibrary(aLibPathName: string): IFirebirdLibrary |
| 30 |
> |
|
| 31 |
> |
This allows a Firebird Library to be loaded from an explicit path. use the |
| 32 |
> |
IFirebirdLibrary.GetFirebirdAPI member function to get the Firebird API using |
| 33 |
> |
the library. It is possible to load Firebird libraries from different locations |
| 34 |
> |
simultaneously, each with a distinct IFirebirdAPI. |

1. Firebird.pas: {$OBJECTCHECKS OFF} added to file to avoid runtime error when |
| 39 |
> |
program compiled with -CR command line switch. |
| 40 |
> |
|
| 41 |
> |
2. IServiceManager additions (informational): |
| 42 |
> |
function getProtocol: TProtocol; |
| 43 |
> |
function getPortNo: AnsiString; |
| 44 |
> |
|
| 45 |
> |
3. IServiceManager improved error handling. Interfaces changed: |
| 46 |
> |
function Start(Request: ISRB; RaiseExceptionOnError: boolean=true): boolean; |
| 47 |
> |
function Query(SQPB: ISQPB; Request: ISRB; RaiseExceptionOnError: boolean=true) :IServiceQueryResults; overload; |
| 48 |
> |
function Query(Request: ISRB; RaiseExceptionOnError: boolean=true) :IServiceQueryResults; overload; |
| 49 |
> |
|
| 50 |
> |
4. IAttachment addition (informational) |
| 51 |
> |
function GetSecurityDatabase: AnsiString; |
| 52 |
> |
|
| 53 |
> |
5. IStatement: performance counters now updated after each Fetch. GetPerfStatistics |
| 54 |
> |
thus now returns accumulated stats for a select statement from opening a cursor |
| 55 |
> |
up to the last fetch. |
| 56 |
> |
|
| 57 |
> |
6. DARWIN: uloadlibrary.inc bug fix. Many thanks to Luigi Naimi for correcting |
| 58 |
> |
the problem. |
| 59 |
> |
|
| 60 |
> |
7. Type change: "TPerfCounters = array[TPerfStats] of Int64". Note "Int64" |
| 61 |
> |
replaces deprecated "comp" type. |
| 62 |
> |
|
| 63 |
> |
10. Testsuite Test10 updated to include thread synchronisation for event reporting. |
| 64 |
> |
|
| 65 |
> |
11. URL Connection Strings: inet4 and inet6 now recognised. |
| 66 |
> |
|
| 67 |
> |
12. IBUtils: Parse and Make Connect String now recognise URL style loopback syntax. |
| 68 |
> |
|
| 69 |

1. IBUtils.QuoteIdentifierIfNeeded: Add check for space character. |
| 75 |
> |
|
| 76 |
> |
2. IAttachment: add two new methods |
| 77 |
> |
function HasDefaultCharSet: boolean; |
| 78 |
> |
function GetDefaultCharSetID: integer; |
| 79 |
> |
|
| 80 |
> |
These return, respectively, true if a connection default character set was |
| 81 |
> |
specified and the character set id of the connection default character set. |
| 82 |
> |
The DefaultCharSetID is cached when the connection is opened and hence does not |
| 83 |
> |
require a database lookup. |
| 84 |
> |
|
| 85 |
> |
3. Avoid exception when a text blob is a stored procedure parameter. |
| 86 |
> |
|
| 87 |
> |
4. Update test suite to include a test for a stored proc returning a text blob. |
| 88 |
> |
|
| 89 |
> |
5. IAttachment: add |
| 90 |
> |
function GetRemoteProtocol: AnsiString; |
| 91 |
> |
function GetODSMajorVersion: integer; |
| 92 |
> |
function GetODSMinorVersion: integer; |
| 93 |
> |
function GetAuthenticationMethod: AnsiString; |
| 94 |
> |
|
| 95 |
> |
These results are cached when the connection is opened and hence do not |
| 96 |
> |
require a database lookup. |
| 97 |
> |
|
| 98 |
> |
6. IAttachment: add "function GetConnectString: AnsiString;" This returns the |
| 99 |
> |
connect string used to create/connect to the database. |
| 100 |
> |
|
| 101 |
> |
7. IAttachment: Create Database using SQL statement. The username and password |
| 102 |
> |
are now extracted and used to populate a DPB made available via IAttachment.getDPB. |
| 103 |
> |
It is now possible to use IAttachment disconnect/connect to reconnect to |
| 104 |
> |
a database for which the initial connection was established by a create |
| 105 |
> |
database sql statement. Available in FPC only. |
| 106 |
> |
|
| 107 |
> |
8. Update Test 1 to test 5, 6 and 7 above. |
| 108 |
> |
|
| 109 |
> |
9. IBUtils code tidy up. |
| 110 |
> |
|
| 111 |
> |
10. Parameter Block interfaces "find" method. As documented, this should have |
| 112 |
> |
returned a nil interface when the item could not be found. Instead, an empty |
| 113 |
> |
interface item was returned. "Find" now works as documented and will return |
| 114 |
> |
a nil interface if the item cannot be found. |
| 115 |
> |
|
| 116 |
> |
11. DBInformation: support added for isc_info_active_tran_count and isc_info_creation_date. |
| 117 |
> |
|
| 118 |
> |
12. DBInformation: New interfaces: IDIRB and IDIRBItem added to support DB Information |
| 119 |
> |
requests with additional parameters. This is to enable support for fb_info_page_contents |
| 120 |
> |
(return of page contents). Response to fb_info_page_contents returned as |
| 121 |
> |
a string with code page CP_NONE. |
| 122 |
> |
|
| 123 |
> |
13. DBInformation: Support for fb_info_pages_used and fb_info_pages_free added, plus |
| 124 |
> |
test suite updated. |
| 125 |
> |
|
| 126 |
> |
14. DBInformation: Support for fb_info_crypt_key (Firebird 3.0.3 onwards) added as |
| 127 |
> |
a string type, and fb_info_conn_flags (Firebird 3.0.3 onwards) added as an integer type. |
| 128 |
> |
|
| 129 |
> |
15. Service Manager: List of protocols supported expanded to include inet, wnet and xnet. |
| 130 |
> |
An overloaded version of IIFirebirdAPI.GetServiceManager also allows a non |
| 131 |
> |
default connection port to be specified. |
| 132 |
> |

1. Fix issues with setting SQL Param values using SetAsString with Numeric types. |
| 136 |
> |
Scale is no longer ignored. |
| 137 |
> |
|
| 138 |
> |
2. Fix issues with setting SQL Param values using SetAsString with Date values |
| 139 |
> |
not in locale format but which are recognised by Firebird. Date values that |
| 140 |
> |
cannot be converted to a string using Pascal library are now passed through |
| 141 |
> |
to Firebird as Text Strings. |
| 142 |
> |
|
| 143 |
> |
3. Lookup character set name by codepage amended to ensure that CP_UTF8 returns |
| 144 |
> |
UTF8 and not UNICODE_FSS. |
| 145 |
> |
|
| 146 |
> |
4. Charset ID problem. When using Firebird 3, with no default database character set |
| 147 |
> |
and a column has a non-default collation specified, an incorrect character set |
| 148 |
> |
id was being reported that could result in a 'division by zero' error when |
| 149 |
> |
used by IBX. This has now been fixed. |
| 150 |
> |
|
| 151 |
> |
5. Move GetCharsetName, CharSetID2CodePage, CodePage2CharSetID, CharSetName2CharSetID, |
| 152 |
> |
CharSetWidth from IFirebirdAPI to IAttachment. This is a better data model as |
| 153 |
> |
the character sets supported can be updated on a per database basis. That is |
| 154 |
> |
it is possible to add a (Firebird) user defined character set to a database. |
| 155 |
> |
|
| 156 |
> |
6. Add RegisterCharSet to IAttachment. This is used to register a user defined character |
| 157 |
> |
set supported by Firebird with the API. |
| 158 |
> |
|
| 159 |
> |
7. Add missing isc_info_db_read_only to list of decoded Database Information items |
| 160 |
> |
in FBOutputBlock.pas and update test suite to include this item. |
| 161 |
> |
|
| 162 |
> |
8. FB30Client: avoid always using "StartMultiple" when only a single database attachment. |
| 163 |
> |
|
| 164 |
> |
9. Loading Windows fbclient.dll: when using the FIREBIRD variable to locate the client |
| 165 |
> |
library or finding it by disk location, the PATH environment variable is now also set to |
| 166 |
> |
include the FIREBIRD directory. This is to ensure that the correct dlls in the |
| 167 |
> |
firebird client library dependencies are loaded. |
| 168 |
> |
|
| 169 |
> |
10. Testsuite: Ensure consistent UTF-8 output on Windows console. |
| 170 |
> |
|
| 171 |
> |
11. Testsuite: Update Windows script to include FPC 3.0.4 in search path. |
| 172 |
> |
|
| 173 |
> |
12. FB30Statement: Protect call to "Move" and avoid calling with a nil pointer |
| 174 |
> |
|
| 175 |
> |
13. FB30Statement: A check has been added to ensure that all SQL Parameters |
| 176 |
> |
have been given a value (including NULL). Previously, failing to set the |
| 177 |
> |
value of an SQL Parameter could give rise to unpredictable results or |
| 178 |
> |
an SQLDA error. |
| 179 |
> |
|
| 180 |
> |
14. FB30Statement/FB25Statement: Set SQLParam "modified" when string value set. |
| 181 |
> |
|
| 182 |
> |
15. FBAttachment: Avoid string reference count error when processing an Ansistring |
| 183 |
> |
parameter in an array of const passed to IAttachment.OpenCursor, etc. |
| 184 |
> |
|
| 185 |
> |
16. FBAttachment: Allow for WideString and UnicodeString parameters in an array |
| 186 |
> |
of const passed to IAttachment.OpenCursor, etc. |
| 187 |
> |

1. Change syntax to Mode Delphi |
| 192 |
> |
|
| 193 |
> |
2. Change all uses of string type to explicit AnsiString in order to ensure |
| 194 |

|
| 196 |
> |
3. Various syntax changes to ensure Delphi and FPC compilation including GUIDs |
| 197 |

defined for each interface. |
| 198 |
> |
|
| 199 |
> |
4. Generics syntax variations for Delphi added |
| 200 |
> |
|
| 201 |
> |
5. PChar replaced with PByte expect where an actual string is being referenced, |
| 202 |
> |
where PAnsiChar is used instead. |

1. Limit maximum Blob segment read/write to MaxuShort. Avoids data loss with |
| 211 |
|
large blobs and the FB3 API. |
