IBUtils.QuoteIdentifierIfNeeded: Add check for space character. + +2. IAttachment: add two new methods + function HasDefaultCharSet: boolean; + function GetDefaultCharSetID: integer; + + These return, respectively, true if a connection default character set was + specified and the character set id of the connection defautl character set. + +3. Avoid exception when a text blob is a stored procedure parameter. + +4. Update test suite to include a test for a stored proc returning a text blob. + +FBINTF Change Log version (1.1-0) Sun, 07 Jan 2018 15:20:02 +0000 + +1. Fix issues with setting SQL Param values using SetAsString with Numeric types. + Scale is no longer ignored. + +2. Fix issues with setting SQL Param values using SetAsString with Date values + not in locale format but which are recognised by Firebird. Date values that + cannot be converted to a string using Pascal library are now passed through + to Firebird as Text Strings. + +3. Lookup character set name by codepage amended to ensure that CP_UTF8 returns + UTF8 and not UNICODE_FSS. + +4. Charset ID problem. When using Firebird 3, with no default database character set + and a column has a non-default collation specified, an incorrect character set + id was being reported that could result in a 'division by zero' error when + used by IBX. This has now been fixed. + +5. Move GetCharsetName, CharSetID2CodePage, CodePage2CharSetID, CharSetName2CharSetID, + CharSetWidth from IFirebirdAPI to IAttachment. This is a better data model as + the character sets supported can be updated on a per database basis. That is + it is possible to add a (Firebird) user defined character set to a database. + +6. Add RegisterCharSet to IAttachment. This is used to register a user defined character + set supported by Firebird with the API. + +7. Add missing isc_info_db_read_only to list of decoded Database Information items + in FBOutputBlock.pas and update test suite to include this item. + +8. FB30Client: avoid always using "StartMultiple" when only a single database attachment. + +9. Loading Windows fbclient.dll: when using the FIREBIRD variable to locate the client + library or finding it by disk location, the PATH environment variable is now also set to + include the FIREBIRD directory. This is to ensure that the correct dlls in the + firebird client library dependencies are loaded. + +10. Testsuite: Ensure consistent UTF-8 output on Windows console. + +11. Testsuite: Update Windows script to include FPC 3.0.4 in search path. + +12. FB30Statement: Protect call to "Move" and avoid calling with a nil pointer + +13. FB30Statement: A check has been added to ensure that all SQL Parameters + have been given a value (including NULL). Previously, failing to set the + value of an SQL Parameter could give rise to unpredictable results or + an SQLDA error. + +14. FB30Statement/FB25Statement: Set SQLParam "modified" when string value set. + +15. FBAttachment: Avoid string reference count error when processing an Ansistring + parameter in an array of const passed to IAttachment.OpenCursor, etc. + +16. FBAttachment: Allow for WideString and UnicodeString parameters in an array + of const passed to IAttachment.OpenCursor, etc. + + +FBINTF Change Log version (1.0-2) Sat, 04 Mar 2017 14:43:56 +0000 + +1. Change syntax to Mode Delphi + +2. Change all uses of string type to explicit AnsiString in order to ensure + compatibility between Delphi and FPC. + +3. Various syntax changes to ensure Delphi and FPC compilation including GUIDs + defined for each interface. + +4. Generics syntax variations for Delphi added + +5. PChar replaced with PByte expect where an actual string is being referenced, + where PAnsiChar is used instead. + +6. Review of type definitions in IBExternals to ensure Delphi compatibility + +7. Testsuite updated for Delphi + +FBINTF Change Log version (1.0-1) Fri, 24 Feb 2017 12:17:57 +0000 + +1. Limit maximum Blob segment read/write to MaxuShort. Avoids data loss with + large blobs and the FB3 API. + +2. Update Event Handling algorithm to avoid looping due to recreation of the + event block. + +3. Avoid invalid XSQLDA error when the only parameter is updated to null + +4. Array Handling: fix problem with text arrays with character set none. When the + DB connection has a default character set (e.g. UTF8), an error is raised by + Firebird if the space allocated is not enough to allow for transliteration, even + though it is not required for character set none. + +5. IBUtils: List of reserved words brought up-to-date + +6. Add ISQL style performance statistics collection to IStatement + +7. Add IFirebirdAPI.CreateDatabase variant to allow execution of user provided + CREATE DATABASE statement. + +8. Update SQL Statement parsing to allow for Array Dimensions. That is so that the ':' in + an array dimension is not mistaken for a named parameter prefix. + +9. Trim function no longer applied to result of GetAsString for SQL_TEXT + when Character set is octets. Avoids loss of non printable characters at start of string. + +10. Add function GetPerfStatistics to IStatement. This returns ISQL like performance + statistics for the last action. Requires use of procedure IStatement.EnableStatistics + to enable stats gathering. + +11. API Version information added as constants to IB.pas + +12. BlobMetaData character set id should now be the same as that given by IColumnMetaData.GetCharSetID + +13. Firebird Character set "NONE" now interpreted as codepage CP_ACP. + FBINTF Change Log version (1.0-0) Tue, 06 Dec 2016 10:33:47 +0000 1. Initial Release
