2 >
3 > 1. IBUtils.QuoteIdentifierIfNeeded: Add check for space character.
4 >
5 > 2. IAttachment: add two new methods
6 >     function HasDefaultCharSet: boolean;
7 >     function GetDefaultCharSetID: integer;
8 >
9 >   These return, respectively, true if a connection default character set was
10 >   specified and the character set id of the connection default character set.
11 >   The DefaultCharSetID is cached when the connection is opened and hence does not
12 >   require a database lookup.
13 >
14 > 3. Avoid exception when a text blob is a stored procedure parameter.
15 >
16 > 4. Update test suite to include a test for a stored proc returning a text blob.
17 >
18 > 5. IAttachment: add
19 >      function GetRemoteProtocol: AnsiString;
20 >      function GetODSMajorVersion: integer;
21 >      function GetODSMinorVersion: integer;
22 >      function GetAuthenticationMethod: AnsiString;
23 >
24 >   These results are cached when the connection is opened and hence do not
25 >   require a database lookup.
26 >
27 > 6. IAttachment: add "function GetConnectString: AnsiString;" This returns the
28 >   connect string used to create/connect to the database.
29 >
30 > 7. IAttachment: Create Database using SQL statement. The username and password
31 >   are now extracted and used to populate a DPB made available via IAttachment.getDPB.
32 >   It is now possible to use IAttachment disconnect/connect to reconnect to
33 >   a database for which the initial connection was established by a create
34 >   database sql statement. Available in FPC only.
35 >
36 > 8. Update Test 1 to test 5, 6 and 7 above.
37 >
38 > 9. IBUtils code tidy up.
39 >
40 > 10. Parameter Block interfaces "find" method. As documented, this should have
41 >   returned a nil interface when the item could not be found. Instead, an empty
42 >   interface item was returned. "Find" now works as documented and will return
43 >   a nil interface if the item cannot be found.
44 >
45 > 11. DBInformation: support added for isc_info_active_tran_count and isc_info_creation_date.
46 >
47 > 12. DBInformation: New interfaces: IDIRB and IDIRBItem added to support DB Information
48 >    requests with additional parameters. This is to enable support for fb_info_page_contents
49 >    (return of page contents). Response to fb_info_page_contents returned as
50 >    a string with code page CP_NONE.
51 >
52 > 13. DBInformation: Support for fb_info_pages_used and fb_info_pages_free added, plus
53 >    test suite updated.
54 >
55 > 14. DBInformation: Support for fb_info_crypt_key (Firebird 3.0.3 onwards) added as
56 >    a string type, and fb_info_conn_flags (Firebird 3.0.3 onwards) added as an integer type.
57 >
58 > 15. Service Manager: List of protocols supported expanded to include inet, wnet and xnet.
59 >    An overloaded version of IIFirebirdAPI.GetServiceManager also allows a non
60 >    default connection port to be specified.
61 >
62 > FBINTF Change Log  version                             (1.1-0) Sun, 07 Jan 2018 15:20:02 +0000
63 >
64 > 1. Fix issues with setting SQL Param values using SetAsString with Numeric types.
65 >   Scale is no longer ignored.
66 >
67 > 2. Fix issues with setting SQL Param values using SetAsString with Date values
68 >   not in locale format but which are recognised by Firebird. Date values that
69 >   cannot be converted to a string using Pascal library are now passed through
70 >   to Firebird as Text Strings.
71 >
72 > 3. Lookup character set name by codepage amended to ensure that CP_UTF8 returns
73 >   UTF8 and not UNICODE_FSS.
74 >
75 > 4. Charset ID problem. When using Firebird 3, with no default database character set
76 >   and a column has a non-default collation specified, an incorrect character set
77 >   id was being reported that could result in a 'division by zero' error when
78 >   used by IBX. This has now been fixed.
79 >
80 > 5. Move GetCharsetName, CharSetID2CodePage, CodePage2CharSetID, CharSetName2CharSetID,
81 >   CharSetWidth from IFirebirdAPI to IAttachment. This is a better data model as
82 >   the character sets supported can be updated on a per database basis. That is
83 >   it is possible to add a (Firebird) user defined character set to a database.
84 >
85 > 6. Add RegisterCharSet to IAttachment. This is used to register a user defined character
86 >   set supported by Firebird with the API.
87 >
88 > 7. Add missing isc_info_db_read_only to list of decoded Database Information items
89 >   in FBOutputBlock.pas and update test suite to include this item.
90 >
91 > 8. FB30Client: avoid always using "StartMultiple" when only a single database attachment.
92 >
93 > 9. Loading Windows fbclient.dll: when using the FIREBIRD variable to locate the client
94 >   library or finding it by disk location, the PATH environment variable is now also set to
95 >   include the FIREBIRD directory. This is to ensure that the correct dlls in the
96 >   firebird client library dependencies are loaded.
97 >
98 > 10. Testsuite: Ensure consistent UTF-8 output on Windows console.
99 >
100 > 11. Testsuite: Update Windows script to include FPC 3.0.4 in search path.
101 >
102 > 12. FB30Statement: Protect call to "Move" and avoid calling with a nil pointer
103 >
104 > 13. FB30Statement: A check has been added to ensure that all SQL Parameters
105 >    have been given a value (including NULL). Previously, failing to set the
106 >    value of an SQL Parameter could give rise to unpredictable results or
107 >    an SQLDA error.
108 >
109 > 14. FB30Statement/FB25Statement: Set SQLParam "modified" when string value set.
110 >
111 > 15. FBAttachment: Avoid string reference count error when processing an Ansistring
112 >    parameter in an array of const passed to IAttachment.OpenCursor, etc.
113 >
114 > 16. FBAttachment: Allow for WideString and UnicodeString parameters in an array
115 >    of const passed to IAttachment.OpenCursor, etc.
116 >

118 > FBINTF Change Log  version             (1.0-2) Sat, 04 Mar 2017 14:43:56 +0000
119 >
120 > 1. Change syntax to Mode Delphi
121 >
122 > 2. Change all uses of string type to explicit AnsiString in order to ensure
123 >   compatibility between Delphi and FPC.
124 >
125 > 3. Various syntax changes to ensure Delphi and FPC compilation including GUIDs
126 >   defined for each interface.
127 >
128 > 4. Generics syntax variations for Delphi added
129 >
130 > 5. PChar replaced with PByte expect where an actual string is being referenced,
131 >   where PAnsiChar is used instead.
132 >
133 > 6. Review of type definitions in IBExternals to ensure Delphi compatibility
134 >
135 > 7. Testsuite updated for Delphi
136 >

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