1. Support package fbudr added for support of User Defined Routines (UDRs), and package |
| 4 |
> |
fbudrtestbed for client side debugging of UDR libraries. |
| 5 |
> |
|
| 6 |
> |
2. Package layout changed with introduction of udr support. IB*.pas files moved from |
| 7 |
> |
root directory to "client". IBHeader moved to "Client". |
| 8 |
> |
|
| 9 |
> |
3. Delphi packages: all packages now compile .dcp and .bpi files to either |
| 10 |
> |
fbintf\Win32\Debug or fbintf\Win64\Debug by default. Please remove any pre-existing |
| 11 |
> |
fbintf.dcp and fbintf.bpi files from other locations. |
| 12 |

6. Additional Transaction information |
| 48 |
> |
ITPB.function AsText: AnsiString; {Returns TPB as a text string} |
| 49 |
> |
|
| 50 |
> |
ITransaction |
| 51 |
> |
function GetDefaultCompletion: TTransactionCompletion; |
| 52 |
> |
function GetJournalingActive(attachment: IAttachment): boolean; {attachment must be specified when multi-database transaction} |
| 53 |
> |
|
| 54 |
> |
7. New IAttachment helper functions |
| 55 |
> |
function HasTable(aTableName: AnsiString): boolean; |
| 56 |
> |
function HasFunction(aFunctionName: AnsiString): boolean; |
| 57 |
> |
function HasProcedure(aProcName: AnsiString): boolean; |
| 58 |
> |
function GetAttachmentID: integer; |
| 59 |
> |
function GetCharSetID: integer; |
| 60 |
> |
|
| 61 |
> |
8. IStatement: if the BatchRowLimit is set to maxint, the maximum possible buffer size |
| 62 |
> |
will be allocated for batch operations. |
| 63 |
> |
|
| 64 |
> |
9. IStatement, IColumnMetaData and ISQLParam all now consistently provide: |
| 65 |
> |
function GetStatement: IStatement; |
| 66 |
> |
function GetTransaction: ITransaction; |
| 67 |
> |
function GetAttachment: IAttachment; |
| 68 |
> |
|
| 69 |
> |
10. Internal: a more disciplined approach to the handling of Firebird.IReferenceCounted |
| 70 |
> |
interfaces. |
| 71 |
> |
|
| 72 |
> |
11. New interface type: IFBNumeric. IFBNumeric is implemented in the unit FBNumeric |
| 73 |
> |
and concentrates all handling of Fixed Point numbers. New ISQLItem and ISQLParam |
| 74 |
> |
functions getAsNumeric and setAsNumeric allow for direct retrival and manipulation |
| 75 |
> |
of numerics without loss of precision. |
| 76 |
> |
|
| 77 |
> |
12. TryStrToNumeric and NumericToDouble moved from IBUtils to FBNumeric. |
| 78 |
> |
|
| 79 |
> |
13. ISQLParams new method "Clear" |
| 80 |
> |
|
| 81 |
> |
14. Connection Info (e.g. ODS Version, Remote Protocol) now retrieved on first |
| 82 |
> |
request rather than on attachment connect. |
| 83 |
> |
|
| 84 |
> |
15. IStatus.IBDataBaseErrorMessages now defaults to [ShowIBMessage]. This reflects the |
| 85 |
> |
fact that SQLCodes are soon to be deprecated. In the future, the other options |
| 86 |
> |
will be silently ignored if SQLCode support is not present in the Firebird |
| 87 |
> |
Client library. |
| 88 |
> |
|
| 89 |
> |
16. ITransaction changes Rollback and Commit from procedures to functions: |
| 90 |
> |
function Commit(Force: boolean=false): TTrCompletionState; |
| 91 |
> |
function Rollback(Force: boolean=false): TTrCompletionState; |
| 92 |
> |
|
| 93 |
> |
Specifically, this is to allow the functions to report back a failed commit or |
| 94 |
> |
rollback when Force = true. In the case, the transaction handle has been |
| 95 |
> |
released, while the transaction remains in limbo. |
| 96 |
> |
|
| 97 |
> |
17. IAttachment ExecImmediate. |
| 98 |
> |
When the transaction parameters are provided as an array of const and the |
| 99 |
> |
statement fails, the transaction is rolledback (forced) before the exception |
| 100 |
> |
is raised. |
| 101 |
> |
|
| 102 |
> |
18. In Firebird 3 and later API: the status vector is now a thread var, as was |
| 103 |
> |
already the case with the legacy API. Avoids problems when calling underlying |
| 104 |
> |
Firebird API in multiple threads. |
| 105 |
> |
|
| 106 |
> |
19. IBUtils: TSQLXMLReader: "string" type changed to "AnsiString" for compatibility |
| 107 |
> |
reasons. |
| 108 |
> |
|
| 109 |
> |
20. IDBInformation.DecodeVersionString now supported isc_info_firebird_version. |
| 110 |
> |
|
| 111 |
> |
21. TSQLXMLReader: handle 'blob' as a reserved word |
| 112 |
> |
|
| 113 |
> |
22. ISQLParam.SetAsVariant now accepts a vartype of varUString (UnicodeString). |
| 114 |
> |
|

FBINTF Change Log version (1.3-3 Build 12935) Mon, 06 Dec 2021 23:17:13 +0000 |
| 117 |
> |
|
| 118 |
> |
1. Fix compile error with fpc trunk (3.3.1 and later), due to type change to tzname in "unix" unit. |
| 119 |
> |
|
| 120 |
> |
2. Remove constraint in IAttachment.HasScollableCursors that returned false when |
| 121 |
> |
using remote protocol. Scrollable cursors with remote database expected to |
| 122 |
> |
be support for Firebird 4.0.1 onwards. Note: Firebird 4.0.0 will return |
| 123 |
> |
a not supported error. |
| 124 |
> |
|
| 125 |
> |
3. IStatement: new function; |
| 126 |
> |
TStatementFlag = (stHasCursor,stRepeatExecute,stScrollable); |
| 127 |
> |
TStatementFlags = set of TStatementFlag; |
| 128 |
> |
function GetFlags: TStatementFlags; |
| 129 |
> |
|
| 130 |
> |
4. Revised behaviour for IStatement.ExecuteQuery in order to preserve backwards |
| 131 |
> |
compatibility. |
| 132 |
> |
In Firebird 5, Update..Returning may returns multiple rows and hence the statemen |
| 133 |
> |
type changes from ExecProcedure to Select. So that ExecuteQuery can continue |
| 134 |
> |
to be used with Update...Retruning statements that return a singleton row, |
| 135 |
> |
instead of raising an exception when ExecuteQuery is used with a (SELECT) statement, |
| 136 |
> |
it will open the cursor and return the first row only. |
| 137 |
> |
|
| 138 |
> |
5. ITransaction: new functions: |
| 139 |
> |
function GetIsReadOnly: boolean; |
| 140 |
> |
function GetTransactionID: integer; |
| 141 |
> |
function GetTrInformation(Requests: array of byte): ITrInformation; overload; |
| 142 |
> |
function GetTrInformation(Request: byte): ITrInformation; overload; |
| 143 |
> |
|
| 144 |
> |
The latter two return the Transaction Information block. The first two extract |
| 145 |
> |
information the Transaction Information block |
| 146 |
> |
|
| 147 |
> |
6. New function TSQLTokeniser.ReadCharacters |
| 148 |
> |
Used internally. |
| 149 |
> |
|
| 150 |
> |
7. IStatement: GetProcessedSQL bug fix. No longer raises and error if SQL contains |
| 151 |
> |
parameter placeholders instead of named parameters. |
| 152 |
> |
|
| 153 |
> |
8. ITransaction (Firebird 3 and later): An exception raised when freeing an underlying |
| 154 |
> |
transaction handle is now ignored if Rollback/Commit is called with Force=true |
| 155 |
> |
|
| 156 |
> |
9. Tidy up of exception handling code. Under the legacy API, fb_interpret is now |
| 157 |
> |
used to get an IBError Message instead of isc_interprete. |
| 158 |
> |
|
| 159 |
> |
10. Internal tidyup. Native code now used for decoding integers and the events |
| 160 |
> |
buffer. Avoids dependencies on fbclient functions isc_portable_integer, |
| 161 |
> |
isc_event_block and isc_event_counts. |
| 162 |
> |
|
| 163 |
> |
11. New IAttachment function |
| 164 |
> |
function GetAttachmentID: integer; |
| 165 |
> |
|
| 166 |
> |
12. Internal changes to TFBClientAPI, TFBAttachment and TFBTransaction and TFB30 |
| 167 |
> |
subclasses to enable UDR support. |
| 168 |
> |
|
| 169 |

FBINTF Change Log version (1.3-2 Build 12889) Sun, 24 Oct 2021 13:49:28 +0100 |
| 170 |
> |
|
| 171 |
> |
1. TFBClientAPI.GetProcAddr. Add check for nil reference. |
| 172 |
> |
|
| 173 |
> |
2. IStatement: new methods: |
| 174 |
> |
procedure SetStaleReferenceChecks(Enable:boolean); {default true} |
| 175 |
> |
function GetStaleReferenceChecks: boolean; |
| 176 |
> |
|
| 177 |
> |
In previous versions, stale reference checks were always enabled. This allows the |
| 178 |
> |
user to disable them on a per statement basis. Note this can risk out-of-date |
| 179 |
> |
statement BLR. See User Guide. |
| 180 |
> |
|
| 181 |
> |
3. IBUtils: TSQLwithNamedParamsTokeniser now recognises a CASE...END block within a |
| 182 |
> |
stored procedure and hence avoids replacing named parameters within a containing |
| 183 |
> |
BEGIN..END block. |
| 184 |
> |
|
| 185 |
> |
4. ISQLParam: using a string value to set an integer field with a scale factor of |
| 186 |
> |
zero is now treated as a special case to avoid the risk of floating point |
| 187 |
> |
rounding errors affecting pure integers. |
| 188 |
> |
|
| 189 |
> |
5. ISQLParam: Review and tidy-up of SetAsString for numeric types. |
| 190 |
> |
|
| 191 |
> |
6. ISQLParam is now subclassed from IParamMetaData, which provides access to the mutable |
| 192 |
> |
SQL Parameter metadata (methods moved from ISQLParam). |
| 193 |
> |
|
| 194 |
> |
7. ISQLParam: new method |
| 195 |
> |
function getColMetadata: IParamMetaData; |
| 196 |
> |
This instance of IParamMetaData returns the original column metadata which is unmutable. |
| 197 |
> |
Note: ISQLParam metadata can change after a parameter value has been set e.g when |
| 198 |
> |
setting a VARCHAR column to an integer value. |
| 199 |
> |
|
| 200 |
> |
8. IStatement: can now set cursor name when opening a cursor. New overloaded method: |
| 201 |
> |
procedure Prepare(CursorName: AnsiString; aTransaction: ITransaction=nil); overload; |
| 202 |
> |
also IAttachment: |
| 203 |
> |
function Prepare(transaction: ITransaction; sql: AnsiString; aSQLDialect: integer; CursorName: AnsiString=''): IStatement; overload; |
| 204 |
> |
function Prepare(transaction: ITransaction; sql: AnsiString; CursorName: AnsiString=''): IStatement; overload; |
| 205 |
> |
function PrepareWithNamedParameters(transaction: ITransaction; sql: AnsiString; |
| 206 |
> |
aSQLDialect: integer; GenerateParamNames: boolean=false; |
| 207 |
> |
CaseSensitiveParams: boolean = false; CursorName: AnsiString=''): IStatement; overload; |
| 208 |
> |
function PrepareWithNamedParameters(transaction: ITransaction; sql: AnsiString; |
| 209 |
> |
GenerateParamNames: boolean=false; |
| 210 |
> |
CaseSensitiveParams: boolean = false; CursorName: AnsiString=''): IStatement; overload; |
| 211 |
> |
|
| 212 |
> |
9. Support for scrollable cursors added. New/updated methods: |
| 213 |
> |
IAttachment: |
| 214 |
> |
function HasScollableCursors: boolean; |
| 215 |
> |
function OpenCursor(transaction: ITransaction; sql: AnsiString; aSQLDialect: integer; |
| 216 |

10. IArray: tidyup of SetAsString method to ensure correct handling of fixed point numbers. |
| 243 |
> |
|
| 244 |
> |
11. IBUtils: TSQLTokeniser. CRLF now combined by low level parser into sqltEOL token. This |
| 245 |
> |
may be noticeable when a line separator occurs inside quoted text. The quoted text |
| 246 |
> |
output by the tokeniser will now use the platform specific lineEnding regardless |
| 247 |
> |
of whether the input uses the CRLF or LF as a line separator. |
| 248 |
> |
|
| 249 |
> |
12. IStatement, IResultsSet: Support for scrollable cursors added (note: local databases only) |

1. Integer decodes in information blocks (e.g. IDBInfoItem) widened from 32 bit to 64-bit integers. |
| 255 |
> |
|
| 256 |
> |
2. Support for inline blob encoding. Blob values pass using the "SetAsString" method |
| 257 |
> |
will now be encoded inline (i.e. as part of the parameter buffer) if they are |
| 258 |
> |
shorter than a pre-set limit. Longer values continue to be saved as blobs as a |
| 259 |
> |
separate server interaction. This is intended as a performance optimisation. |
| 260 |
> |
|
| 261 |
> |
The pre-set limit defaults to 8192 bytes and can be inspected/modified using the new |
| 262 |
> |
IAttachment interface functions: |
| 263 |
> |
|
| 264 |
> |
function GetInlineBlobLimit: integer; |
| 265 |
> |
procedure SetInlineBlobLimit(limit: integer); |
| 266 |
> |
|
| 267 |
> |
3. Support for Firebird 4 IBatch interface added. This is largely transparent to the API |
| 268 |
> |
user as the functionality is embedded in the implementation of the IStatement |
| 269 |
> |
interface. Three new functions are defined: |
| 270 |
> |
|
| 271 |
> |
procedure AddToBatch; |
| 272 |
> |
function ExecuteBatch(aTransaction: ITransaction=nil): IBatchCompletion; |
| 273 |
> |
procedure CancelBatch; |
| 274 |
> |
function GetBatchCompletion: IBatchCompletion; |
| 275 |
> |
function GetBatchRowLimit: integer; |
| 276 |
> |
procedure SetBatchRowLimit(aLimit: integer); |
| 277 |
> |
|
| 278 |
> |
Also |
| 279 |
> |
|
| 280 |
> |
function IsInBatchMode: boolean; {true after call to execute(eaDefer)} |
| 281 |
> |
function HasBatchMode: boolean; {true if and only if IBatch Supported} |
| 282 |
> |
|
| 283 |
> |
For more information see the User Guide. |
| 284 |
> |
|
| 285 |
> |
4. Default error message contents. Now aligned with User Guide section 10.2 i.e. error messages |
| 286 |
> |
provided with the EIBInterBaseError now include all three parts. |
| 287 |
> |
|
| 288 |
> |
5. Firebird.pas and include files updated to Firebird 4.0.0 |
| 289 |
> |
|
| 290 |
> |
6. New IStatement method: function GetSQLStatementTypeName: AnsiString; |
| 291 |
> |
Returns SQL Statement type as a text string; |
| 292 |
> |
|
| 293 |
> |
7. ISQLData.AsInteger and AsInt64 now use "Round" to convert a float field to |
| 294 |
> |
an integer instead of "trunc". This is for compatibility with TFloatField.AsInteger. |
| 295 |

QueryInterface may be used to coerce this interface from IFirebirdAPI. The |

interface provides a single method "function GetIMasterIntf: IMaster". This provides |

1. GetImplementationVersion now correctly returns '3.0' for Firebird 3 API |
| 389 |
> |
with a Firebrid 3 client library. |
| 390 |
> |
|
| 391 |
> |
2. Linux Only: FIREBIRD environment variable is now checked when loading the client library. |
| 392 |
> |
If a client library path is not explicitly provided and the FIREBIRD environment |
| 393 |
> |
variable is set then the directory given by this variable and any 'lib' subdirectory |
| 394 |
> |
are searched for the Firebird client library. Only if none is found, is the default |
| 395 |
> |
client library used. |
| 396 |
> |
|
| 397 |
> |
3. IUtil.FormatStatus now used to format error messages when using new API |
| 398 |
> |
|
| 399 |
> |
4. Fixed Array SDL: array_desc_scale now correctly encoded as a signed integer. |
| 400 |
> |
|
| 401 |
> |
5. SQL_TEXT handling changed. When the value of an SQL_TEXT (i.e. fixed width string) column is |
| 402 |
> |
returned using GetAsString and the string codepage is UTF8, the string is truncated so |
| 403 |
> |
that the byte length corresponds to the number of characters specified for the column. |
| 404 |
> |
SQL_TEXT strings are no longer automatically trimmed to remove all trailing white space. This is |
| 405 |
> |
correct behaviour but may affect some implementations that relied upon automatic |
| 406 |
> |
trimming of trailing white space. |

1. Fix a problem with the SQL parameter parser that failed to recognise parameters |
| 439 |

where the second character of the parameter name is a numeric. |
| 440 |
> |
|
| 441 |

2. New method for IAttachment: procedure getFBVersion(version: TStrings); |
| 442 |
> |
This returns the isc_version connection information as one or more lines. |
| 443 |

This is the same information as returned by isql with the -z option. |
| 444 |

3. If -dFIREBIRD3APIONLY is used as a compiler option then the legacy Firebird API |
| 446 |
> |
is no longer compiled in. Likewise, if -dLEGACYFIREBIRDAPIONLY is used as a |
| 447 |

5. Additional argument for IAttachment.PrepareWithNamedParameters - |
| 461 |
> |
CaseSensitiveParams: boolean = false |
| 462 |
> |
|
| 463 |
> |
If this argument is set to true then SQL parameter names are assumed to be case |

sensitive and must be referenced (using ISQLParams.ByName) using the case |
| 465 |
> |
sensitive name. |
| 466 |
> |
|
| 467 |
> |
6. Bug fix: when setting a query parameter, it is now possible, when the parameter |
| 468 |
> |
is of type VarChar or Char to set the parameter to a numeric value (e.g. using |
| 469 |
> |
.AsCurrency) and then subsequently to update the value to a non-numeric string |

3. New SQL Tokeniser added to IBUtils. This is used to pre-process SQL with |

| 561 |
> |
|
| 562 |
