9 > 1. DARWIN only syntax error: fix missing semi-colon in TFBClientAPI.LoadIBLibrary
10 >
11 > 2. Restrict IsMultiThread check to Unix only for compatibility with
12 >   https://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=30535
13 >
14 > 3. New SQL Tokeniser added to IBUtils. This is used to pre-process SQL with
15 >   named parameters and is intended to avoid problems with (e.g.) Execute Block
16 >   and processing internal parameters as statement parameters.
17 >
18 > 4. New interface IFirebirdLibrary provides access to the underlying firebird DLL
19 >   or shared object. Available via a new member (GetFBLibrary) of IFirebirdAPI.
20 >
21 > 5. New function added to IB.pas
22 >
23 >   function LoadFBLibrary(aLibPathName: string): IFirebirdLibrary
24 >
25 >   This allows a Firebird Library to be loaded from an explicit path. use the
26 >   IFirebirdLibrary.GetFirebirdAPI member function to get the Firebird API using
27 >   the library. It is possible to load Firebird libraries from different locations
28 >   simultaneously, each with a distinct IFirebirdAPI.

31 >
32 > 1. Firebird.pas: {$OBJECTCHECKS OFF} added to file to avoid runtime error when
33 >   program compiled with -CR command line switch.
34 >
35 > 2. IServiceManager additions (informational):
36 >    function getProtocol: TProtocol;
37 >    function getPortNo: AnsiString;
38 >
39 > 3. IServiceManager improved error handling. Interfaces changed:
40 >    function Start(Request: ISRB; RaiseExceptionOnError: boolean=true): boolean;

42 >    function Query(Request: ISRB; RaiseExceptionOnError: boolean=true) :IServiceQueryResults; overload;
43 >
44 > 4. IAttachment addition (informational)
45 >    function GetSecurityDatabase: AnsiString;
46 >
47 > 5. IStatement: performance counters now updated after each Fetch. GetPerfStatistics
48 >   thus now returns accumulated stats for a select statement from opening a cursor
49 >   up to the last fetch.
50 >
51 > 6. DARWIN: uloadlibrary.inc bug fix. Many thanks to Luigi Naimi for correcting
52 >   the problem.
53 >
54 > 7. Type change: "TPerfCounters = array[TPerfStats] of Int64". Note "Int64"
55 >   replaces deprecated "comp" type.
56 >
57 > 10. Testsuite Test10 updated to include thread synchronisation for event reporting.
58 >
59 > 11. URL Connection Strings: inet4 and inet6 now recognised.
60 >
61 > 12. IBUtils: Parse and Make Connect String now recognise URL style loopback syntax.
62 >
63 > 13. IAttachment.CharSetName2CharSetID is now performed case insensitive.

68 > 1. IBUtils.QuoteIdentifierIfNeeded: Add check for space character.
69 >
70 > 2. IAttachment: add two new methods
71 >     function HasDefaultCharSet: boolean;
72 >     function GetDefaultCharSetID: integer;
73 >
74 >   These return, respectively, true if a connection default character set was
75 >   specified and the character set id of the connection default character set.
76 >   The DefaultCharSetID is cached when the connection is opened and hence does not
77 >   require a database lookup.
78 >
79 > 3. Avoid exception when a text blob is a stored procedure parameter.
80 >
81 > 4. Update test suite to include a test for a stored proc returning a text blob.
82 >
83 > 5. IAttachment: add
84 >      function GetRemoteProtocol: AnsiString;
85 >      function GetODSMajorVersion: integer;
86 >      function GetODSMinorVersion: integer;
87 >      function GetAuthenticationMethod: AnsiString;
88 >
89 >   These results are cached when the connection is opened and hence do not
90 >   require a database lookup.
91 >
92 > 6. IAttachment: add "function GetConnectString: AnsiString;" This returns the
93 >   connect string used to create/connect to the database.
94 >
95 > 7. IAttachment: Create Database using SQL statement. The username and password
96 >   are now extracted and used to populate a DPB made available via IAttachment.getDPB.
97 >   It is now possible to use IAttachment disconnect/connect to reconnect to
98 >   a database for which the initial connection was established by a create
99 >   database sql statement. Available in FPC only.
100 >
101 > 8. Update Test 1 to test 5, 6 and 7 above.
102 >
103 > 9. IBUtils code tidy up.
104 >
105 > 10. Parameter Block interfaces "find" method. As documented, this should have
106 >   returned a nil interface when the item could not be found. Instead, an empty
107 >   interface item was returned. "Find" now works as documented and will return
108 >   a nil interface if the item cannot be found.
109 >
110 > 11. DBInformation: support added for isc_info_active_tran_count and isc_info_creation_date.
111 >
112 > 12. DBInformation: New interfaces: IDIRB and IDIRBItem added to support DB Information
113 >    requests with additional parameters. This is to enable support for fb_info_page_contents
114 >    (return of page contents). Response to fb_info_page_contents returned as
115 >    a string with code page CP_NONE.
116 >
117 > 13. DBInformation: Support for fb_info_pages_used and fb_info_pages_free added, plus
118 >    test suite updated.
119 >
120 > 14. DBInformation: Support for fb_info_crypt_key (Firebird 3.0.3 onwards) added as
121 >    a string type, and fb_info_conn_flags (Firebird 3.0.3 onwards) added as an integer type.
122 >
123 > 15. Service Manager: List of protocols supported expanded to include inet, wnet and xnet.
124 >    An overloaded version of IIFirebirdAPI.GetServiceManager also allows a non
125 >    default connection port to be specified.

129   1. Fix issues with setting SQL Param values using SetAsString with Numeric types.
130     Scale is no longer ignored.
# Line 8 | Line 134 | FBINTF Change Log  version             (
134     cannot be converted to a string using Pascal library are now passed through
135     to Firebird as Text Strings.
136  
137 + 3. Lookup character set name by codepage amended to ensure that CP_UTF8 returns
138 +   UTF8 and not UNICODE_FSS.
139 +
140 + 4. Charset ID problem. When using Firebird 3, with no default database character set
141 +   and a column has a non-default collation specified, an incorrect character set
142 +   id was being reported that could result in a 'division by zero' error when
143 +   used by IBX. This has now been fixed.
144 +
145 + 5. Move GetCharsetName, CharSetID2CodePage, CodePage2CharSetID, CharSetName2CharSetID,
146 +   CharSetWidth from IFirebirdAPI to IAttachment. This is a better data model as
147 +   the character sets supported can be updated on a per database basis. That is
148 +   it is possible to add a (Firebird) user defined character set to a database.
149 +
150 + 6. Add RegisterCharSet to IAttachment. This is used to register a user defined character
151 +   set supported by Firebird with the API.
152 +
153 + 7. Add missing isc_info_db_read_only to list of decoded Database Information items
154 +   in FBOutputBlock.pas and update test suite to include this item.
155 +
156 + 8. FB30Client: avoid always using "StartMultiple" when only a single database attachment.
157 +
158 + 9. Loading Windows fbclient.dll: when using the FIREBIRD variable to locate the client
159 +   library or finding it by disk location, the PATH environment variable is now also set to
160 +   include the FIREBIRD directory. This is to ensure that the correct dlls in the
161 +   firebird client library dependencies are loaded.
162 +
163 + 10. Testsuite: Ensure consistent UTF-8 output on Windows console.
164 +
165 + 11. Testsuite: Update Windows script to include FPC 3.0.4 in search path.
166 +
167 + 12. FB30Statement: Protect call to "Move" and avoid calling with a nil pointer
168 +
169 + 13. FB30Statement: A check has been added to ensure that all SQL Parameters
170 +    have been given a value (including NULL). Previously, failing to set the
171 +    value of an SQL Parameter could give rise to unpredictable results or
172 +    an SQLDA error.
173 +
174 + 14. FB30Statement/FB25Statement: Set SQLParam "modified" when string value set.
175 +
176 + 15. FBAttachment: Avoid string reference count error when processing an Ansistring
177 +    parameter in an array of const passed to IAttachment.OpenCursor, etc.
178 +
179 + 16. FBAttachment: Allow for WideString and UnicodeString parameters in an array
180 +    of const passed to IAttachment.OpenCursor, etc.
181 +
182 +
