9 >
10 > 1. Fix a problem with the SQL parameter parser that failed to recognise parameters
11 >   where the second character of the parameter name is a numeric.
12 >
13 > 2. New method for IAttachment: procedure getFBVersion(version: TStrings);
14 >   This returns the isc_version connection information as one or more lines.
15 >   This is the same information as returned by isql with the -z option.
16 >
17 > 3. If -dFIREBIRD3APIONLY is used as a compiler option then the legacy Firebird API
18 >   is no longer compiled in. Likewise, if -dLEGACYFIREBIRDAPIONLY is used as a
19 >   compiler option then the Firebird 3 API is no longer compiled in.
20 >
21 > 4. IColumnMetaData: new method.
22 >
23 >   TIBDateTimeFormats = (dfTimestamp, {SQL TIMESTAMP}
24 >                        dfDateTime,   {SQL DATETIME}
25 >                        dfTime);
26 >
27 >   function GetDateTimeStrLength(DateTimeFormat: TIBDateTimeFormats): integer;
28 >
29 >   This returns the max. number of characters returned by the "AsString" method
30 >   when the SQL type of the column is respectively TIMESTAMP, DATETIME or TIME.
31 >
32 > 5. Additional argument for IAttachment.PrepareWithNamedParameters -
33 >     CaseSensitiveParams: boolean = false
34 >
35 >   If this argument is set to true then SQL parameter names are assumed to be case
36 >   sensitive and must be referenced (using ISQLParams.ByName) using the case
37 >   sensitive name.
38 >
39 > 6. Bug fix: when setting a query parameter, it is now possible, when the parameter
40 >   is of type VarChar or Char to set the parameter to a numeric value (e.g. using
41 >   .AsCurrency) and then subsequently to update the value to a non-numeric string
42 >   using .AsString.

47 >
48 > 1. DARWIN only syntax error: fix missing semi-colon in TFBClientAPI.LoadIBLibrary
49 >
50 > 2. Restrict IsMultiThread check to Unix only for compatibility with
51 >   https://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=30535
52 >
53 > 3. New SQL Tokeniser added to IBUtils. This is used to pre-process SQL with
54 >   named parameters and is intended to avoid problems with (e.g.) Execute Block
55 >   and processing internal parameters as statement parameters.
56 >
57 > 4. New interface IFirebirdLibrary provides access to the underlying firebird DLL
58 >   or shared object. Available via a new member (GetFBLibrary) of IFirebirdAPI.
59 >
60 > 5. New function added to IB.pas
61 >
62 >   function LoadFBLibrary(aLibPathName: string): IFirebirdLibrary
63 >
64 >   This allows a Firebird Library to be loaded from an explicit path. use the
65 >   IFirebirdLibrary.GetFirebirdAPI member function to get the Firebird API using
66 >   the library. It is possible to load Firebird libraries from different locations
67 >   simultaneously, each with a distinct IFirebirdAPI.

70 >
71 > 1. Firebird.pas: {$OBJECTCHECKS OFF} added to file to avoid runtime error when
72 >   program compiled with -CR command line switch.
73 >
74 > 2. IServiceManager additions (informational):
75 >    function getProtocol: TProtocol;
76 >    function getPortNo: AnsiString;
77 >
78 > 3. IServiceManager improved error handling. Interfaces changed:
79 >    function Start(Request: ISRB; RaiseExceptionOnError: boolean=true): boolean;
80 >    function Query(SQPB: ISQPB; Request: ISRB; RaiseExceptionOnError: boolean=true) :IServiceQueryResults; overload;
81 >    function Query(Request: ISRB; RaiseExceptionOnError: boolean=true) :IServiceQueryResults; overload;
82 >
83 > 4. IAttachment addition (informational)
84 >    function GetSecurityDatabase: AnsiString;
85 >
86 > 5. IStatement: performance counters now updated after each Fetch. GetPerfStatistics
87 >   thus now returns accumulated stats for a select statement from opening a cursor
88 >   up to the last fetch.
89 >
90 > 6. DARWIN: uloadlibrary.inc bug fix. Many thanks to Luigi Naimi for correcting
91 >   the problem.
92 >
93 > 7. Type change: "TPerfCounters = array[TPerfStats] of Int64". Note "Int64"
94 >   replaces deprecated "comp" type.
95 >
96 > 10. Testsuite Test10 updated to include thread synchronisation for event reporting.
97 >
98 > 11. URL Connection Strings: inet4 and inet6 now recognised.
99 >
100 > 12. IBUtils: Parse and Make Connect String now recognise URL style loopback syntax.
101 >
102 > 13. IAttachment.CharSetName2CharSetID is now performed case insensitive.

107 > 1. IBUtils.QuoteIdentifierIfNeeded: Add check for space character.
108 >
109 > 2. IAttachment: add two new methods
110 >     function HasDefaultCharSet: boolean;
111 >     function GetDefaultCharSetID: integer;
112 >
113 >   These return, respectively, true if a connection default character set was
114 >   specified and the character set id of the connection default character set.
115 >   The DefaultCharSetID is cached when the connection is opened and hence does not
116 >   require a database lookup.
117 >
118 > 3. Avoid exception when a text blob is a stored procedure parameter.
119 >
120 > 4. Update test suite to include a test for a stored proc returning a text blob.
121 >
122 > 5. IAttachment: add
123 >      function GetRemoteProtocol: AnsiString;
124 >      function GetODSMajorVersion: integer;
125 >      function GetODSMinorVersion: integer;
126 >      function GetAuthenticationMethod: AnsiString;
127 >
128 >   These results are cached when the connection is opened and hence do not
129 >   require a database lookup.
130 >
131 > 6. IAttachment: add "function GetConnectString: AnsiString;" This returns the
132 >   connect string used to create/connect to the database.
133 >
134 > 7. IAttachment: Create Database using SQL statement. The username and password
135 >   are now extracted and used to populate a DPB made available via IAttachment.getDPB.
136 >   It is now possible to use IAttachment disconnect/connect to reconnect to
137 >   a database for which the initial connection was established by a create
138 >   database sql statement. Available in FPC only.
139 >
140 > 8. Update Test 1 to test 5, 6 and 7 above.
141 >
142 > 9. IBUtils code tidy up.
143 >
144 > 10. Parameter Block interfaces "find" method. As documented, this should have
145 >   returned a nil interface when the item could not be found. Instead, an empty
146 >   interface item was returned. "Find" now works as documented and will return
147 >   a nil interface if the item cannot be found.
148 >
149 > 11. DBInformation: support added for isc_info_active_tran_count and isc_info_creation_date.
150 >
151 > 12. DBInformation: New interfaces: IDIRB and IDIRBItem added to support DB Information
152 >    requests with additional parameters. This is to enable support for fb_info_page_contents
153 >    (return of page contents). Response to fb_info_page_contents returned as
154 >    a string with code page CP_NONE.
155 >
156 > 13. DBInformation: Support for fb_info_pages_used and fb_info_pages_free added, plus
157 >    test suite updated.
158 >
159 > 14. DBInformation: Support for fb_info_crypt_key (Firebird 3.0.3 onwards) added as
160 >    a string type, and fb_info_conn_flags (Firebird 3.0.3 onwards) added as an integer type.
161 >
162 > 15. Service Manager: List of protocols supported expanded to include inet, wnet and xnet.
163 >    An overloaded version of IIFirebirdAPI.GetServiceManager also allows a non
164 >    default connection port to be specified.

167  
168   1. Fix issues with setting SQL Param values using SetAsString with Numeric types.
169     Scale is no longer ignored.
# Line 24 | Line 189 | FBINTF Change Log  version             (
189   6. Add RegisterCharSet to IAttachment. This is used to register a user defined character
190     set supported by Firebird with the API.
191  
192 + 7. Add missing isc_info_db_read_only to list of decoded Database Information items
193 +   in FBOutputBlock.pas and update test suite to include this item.
194 +
195 + 8. FB30Client: avoid always using "StartMultiple" when only a single database attachment.
196 +
197 + 9. Loading Windows fbclient.dll: when using the FIREBIRD variable to locate the client
198 +   library or finding it by disk location, the PATH environment variable is now also set to
199 +   include the FIREBIRD directory. This is to ensure that the correct dlls in the
200 +   firebird client library dependencies are loaded.
201 +
202 + 10. Testsuite: Ensure consistent UTF-8 output on Windows console.
203 +
204 + 11. Testsuite: Update Windows script to include FPC 3.0.4 in search path.
205 +
206 + 12. FB30Statement: Protect call to "Move" and avoid calling with a nil pointer
207 +
208 + 13. FB30Statement: A check has been added to ensure that all SQL Parameters
209 +    have been given a value (including NULL). Previously, failing to set the
210 +    value of an SQL Parameter could give rise to unpredictable results or
211 +    an SQLDA error.
212 +
213 + 14. FB30Statement/FB25Statement: Set SQLParam "modified" when string value set.
214 +
215 + 15. FBAttachment: Avoid string reference count error when processing an Ansistring
216 +    parameter in an array of const passed to IAttachment.OpenCursor, etc.
217 +
218 + 16. FBAttachment: Allow for WideString and UnicodeString parameters in an array
219 +    of const passed to IAttachment.OpenCursor, etc.
220 +
