4 >   case sensitive
5 >
6 > 2. Single line SQL comments starting with '--' are now recognised by SQL Parser.

8 > 3. New API Calls:
9 >        IColumnMetaData.GetStatement
10 >        IColumnMetaData.GetTransaction
11 >        ISQLData.GetStrLength
12 >        IResults.GetStatement
13 >        IAttachment.OpenBlob (using Blob metadata)
14 >        IAttachment.OpenArray (using array metadata)
15 >
16 > 4. FBMessages: removal of unused messages
17 >

23 >
24 > 1. Fix a problem with the SQL parameter parser that failed to recognise parameters
25 >   where the second character of the parameter name is a numeric.
26 >
27 > 2. New method for IAttachment: procedure getFBVersion(version: TStrings);
28 >   This returns the isc_version connection information as one or more lines.
29 >   This is the same information as returned by isql with the -z option.
30 >
31 > 3. If -dFIREBIRD3APIONLY is used as a compiler option then the legacy Firebird API
32 >   is no longer compiled in. Likewise, if -dLEGACYFIREBIRDAPIONLY is used as a
33 >   compiler option then the Firebird 3 API is no longer compiled in.
34 >
35 > 4. IColumnMetaData: new method.
36 >
37 >   TIBDateTimeFormats = (dfTimestamp, {SQL TIMESTAMP}
38 >                        dfDateTime,   {SQL DATETIME}
39 >                        dfTime);
40 >
41 >   function GetDateTimeStrLength(DateTimeFormat: TIBDateTimeFormats): integer;
42 >
43 >   This returns the max. number of characters returned by the "AsString" method
44 >   when the SQL type of the column is respectively TIMESTAMP, DATETIME or TIME.
45 >
46 > 5. Additional argument for IAttachment.PrepareWithNamedParameters -
47 >     CaseSensitiveParams: boolean = false
48 >
49 >   If this argument is set to true then SQL parameter names are assumed to be case
50 >   sensitive and must be referenced (using ISQLParams.ByName) using the case
51 >   sensitive name.
52 >
53 > 6. Bug fix: when setting a query parameter, it is now possible, when the parameter
54 >   is of type VarChar or Char to set the parameter to a numeric value (e.g. using
55 >   .AsCurrency) and then subsequently to update the value to a non-numeric string
56 >   using .AsString.

60 > FBINTF Change Log  version                  (1.1-3) Wed, 05 Dec 2018 14:28:10 +0000
61 >
62 > 1. DARWIN only syntax error: fix missing semi-colon in TFBClientAPI.LoadIBLibrary
63 >
64 > 2. Restrict IsMultiThread check to Unix only for compatibility with
65 >   https://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=30535
66 >
67 > 3. New SQL Tokeniser added to IBUtils. This is used to pre-process SQL with
68 >   named parameters and is intended to avoid problems with (e.g.) Execute Block
69 >   and processing internal parameters as statement parameters.
70 >
71 > 4. New interface IFirebirdLibrary provides access to the underlying firebird DLL
72 >   or shared object. Available via a new member (GetFBLibrary) of IFirebirdAPI.
73 >
74 > 5. New function added to IB.pas
75 >
76 >   function LoadFBLibrary(aLibPathName: string): IFirebirdLibrary
77 >
78 >   This allows a Firebird Library to be loaded from an explicit path. use the
79 >   IFirebirdLibrary.GetFirebirdAPI member function to get the Firebird API using
80 >   the library. It is possible to load Firebird libraries from different locations
81 >   simultaneously, each with a distinct IFirebirdAPI.
82 >
83 > FBINTF Change Log  version               (1.1-2) Mon, 16 Apr 2018 09:30:32 +0100
84 >
85 > 1. Firebird.pas: {$OBJECTCHECKS OFF} added to file to avoid runtime error when
86 >   program compiled with -CR command line switch.
87 >
88 > 2. IServiceManager additions (informational):
89 >    function getProtocol: TProtocol;
90 >    function getPortNo: AnsiString;
91 >
92 > 3. IServiceManager improved error handling. Interfaces changed:
93 >    function Start(Request: ISRB; RaiseExceptionOnError: boolean=true): boolean;
94 >    function Query(SQPB: ISQPB; Request: ISRB; RaiseExceptionOnError: boolean=true) :IServiceQueryResults; overload;
95 >    function Query(Request: ISRB; RaiseExceptionOnError: boolean=true) :IServiceQueryResults; overload;
96 >
97 > 4. IAttachment addition (informational)
98 >    function GetSecurityDatabase: AnsiString;
99 >
100 > 5. IStatement: performance counters now updated after each Fetch. GetPerfStatistics
101 >   thus now returns accumulated stats for a select statement from opening a cursor
102 >   up to the last fetch.
103 >
104 > 6. DARWIN: uloadlibrary.inc bug fix. Many thanks to Luigi Naimi for correcting
105 >   the problem.
106 >
107 > 7. Type change: "TPerfCounters = array[TPerfStats] of Int64". Note "Int64"
108 >   replaces deprecated "comp" type.
109 >
110 > 10. Testsuite Test10 updated to include thread synchronisation for event reporting.
111 >
112 > 11. URL Connection Strings: inet4 and inet6 now recognised.
113 >
114 > 12. IBUtils: Parse and Make Connect String now recognise URL style loopback syntax.
115 >
116 > 13. IAttachment.CharSetName2CharSetID is now performed case insensitive.

121   1. IBUtils.QuoteIdentifierIfNeeded: Add check for space character.
122  
# Line 19 | Line 137 | FBINTF Change Log  version
137        function GetRemoteProtocol: AnsiString;
138        function GetODSMajorVersion: integer;
139        function GetODSMinorVersion: integer;
140 +      function GetAuthenticationMethod: AnsiString;
141  
142     These results are cached when the connection is opened and hence do not
143     require a database lookup.

149     are now extracted and used to populate a DPB made available via IAttachment.getDPB.
150     It is now possible to use IAttachment disconnect/connect to reconnect to
151     a database for which the initial connection was established by a create
152 <   database sql statement. Available in FPC, and in Delphi versions from XE7 onwards.
152 >   database sql statement. Available in FPC only.
153  
154   8. Update Test 1 to test 5, 6 and 7 above.
155  
156   9. IBUtils code tidy up.
157  
158 + 10. Parameter Block interfaces "find" method. As documented, this should have
159 +   returned a nil interface when the item could not be found. Instead, an empty
160 +   interface item was returned. "Find" now works as documented and will return
161 +   a nil interface if the item cannot be found.
162 +
163 + 11. DBInformation: support added for isc_info_active_tran_count and isc_info_creation_date.
164 +
165 + 12. DBInformation: New interfaces: IDIRB and IDIRBItem added to support DB Information
166 +    requests with additional parameters. This is to enable support for fb_info_page_contents
167 +    (return of page contents). Response to fb_info_page_contents returned as
168 +    a string with code page CP_NONE.
169 +
170 + 13. DBInformation: Support for fb_info_pages_used and fb_info_pages_free added, plus
171 +    test suite updated.
172 +
173 + 14. DBInformation: Support for fb_info_crypt_key (Firebird 3.0.3 onwards) added as
174 +    a string type, and fb_info_conn_flags (Firebird 3.0.3 onwards) added as an integer type.
175 +
176 + 15. Service Manager: List of protocols supported expanded to include inet, wnet and xnet.
177 +    An overloaded version of IIFirebirdAPI.GetServiceManager also allows a non
178 +    default connection port to be specified.
179 +
