1 FBINTF Change Log version (1.1-2) Sat, 14 Apr 2018 16:47:43 +0100
2
3 1. Firebird.pas: {$OBJECTCHECKS OFF} added to file to avoid runtime error when
4 program compiled with -CR command line switch.
5
6 2. IServiceManager additions (informational):
7 function getProtocol: TProtocol;
8 function getPortNo: AnsiString;
9
10 3. IServiceManager improved error handling. Interfaces changed:
11 function Start(Request: ISRB; RaiseExceptionOnError: boolean=true): boolean;
12 function Query(SQPB: ISQPB; Request: ISRB; RaiseExceptionOnError: boolean=true) :IServiceQueryResults; overload;
13 function Query(Request: ISRB; RaiseExceptionOnError: boolean=true) :IServiceQueryResults; overload;
14
15 4. IAttachment addition (informational)
16 function GetSecurityDatabase: AnsiString;
17
18 5. IStatement: performance counters now updated after each Fetch. GetPerfStatistics
19 thus now returns accumulated stats for a select statement from opening a cursor
20 up to the last fetch.
21
22 6. DARWIN: uloadlibrary.inc bug fix. Many thanks to Luigi Naimi for correcting
23 the problem.
24
25 7. Type change: "TPerfCounters = array[TPerfStats] of Int64". Note "Int64"
26 replaces deprecated "comp" type.
27
28 10. Testsuite Test10 updated to include thread synchronisation for event reporting.
29
30 11. URL Connection Strings: inet4 and inet6 now recognised.
31
32 12. IBUtils: Parse and Make Connect String now recognise URL style loopback syntax.
33
34
35 FBINTF Change Log version (1.1-1) Tue, 27 Feb 2018 16:51:16 +0000
36
37 1. IBUtils.QuoteIdentifierIfNeeded: Add check for space character.
38
39 2. IAttachment: add two new methods
40 function HasDefaultCharSet: boolean;
41 function GetDefaultCharSetID: integer;
42
43 These return, respectively, true if a connection default character set was
44 specified and the character set id of the connection default character set.
45 The DefaultCharSetID is cached when the connection is opened and hence does not
46 require a database lookup.
47
48 3. Avoid exception when a text blob is a stored procedure parameter.
49
50 4. Update test suite to include a test for a stored proc returning a text blob.
51
52 5. IAttachment: add
53 function GetRemoteProtocol: AnsiString;
54 function GetODSMajorVersion: integer;
55 function GetODSMinorVersion: integer;
56 function GetAuthenticationMethod: AnsiString;
57
58 These results are cached when the connection is opened and hence do not
59 require a database lookup.
60
61 6. IAttachment: add "function GetConnectString: AnsiString;" This returns the
62 connect string used to create/connect to the database.
63
64 7. IAttachment: Create Database using SQL statement. The username and password
65 are now extracted and used to populate a DPB made available via IAttachment.getDPB.
66 It is now possible to use IAttachment disconnect/connect to reconnect to
67 a database for which the initial connection was established by a create
68 database sql statement. Available in FPC only.
69
70 8. Update Test 1 to test 5, 6 and 7 above.
71
72 9. IBUtils code tidy up.
73
74 10. Parameter Block interfaces "find" method. As documented, this should have
75 returned a nil interface when the item could not be found. Instead, an empty
76 interface item was returned. "Find" now works as documented and will return
77 a nil interface if the item cannot be found.
78
79 11. DBInformation: support added for isc_info_active_tran_count and isc_info_creation_date.
80
81 12. DBInformation: New interfaces: IDIRB and IDIRBItem added to support DB Information
82 requests with additional parameters. This is to enable support for fb_info_page_contents
83 (return of page contents). Response to fb_info_page_contents returned as
84 a string with code page CP_NONE.
85
86 13. DBInformation: Support for fb_info_pages_used and fb_info_pages_free added, plus
87 test suite updated.
88
89 14. DBInformation: Support for fb_info_crypt_key (Firebird 3.0.3 onwards) added as
90 a string type, and fb_info_conn_flags (Firebird 3.0.3 onwards) added as an integer type.
91
92 15. Service Manager: List of protocols supported expanded to include inet, wnet and xnet.
93 An overloaded version of IIFirebirdAPI.GetServiceManager also allows a non
94 default connection port to be specified.
95
96 FBINTF Change Log version (1.1-0) Sun, 07 Jan 2018 15:20:02 +0000
97
98 1. Fix issues with setting SQL Param values using SetAsString with Numeric types.
99 Scale is no longer ignored.
100
101 2. Fix issues with setting SQL Param values using SetAsString with Date values
102 not in locale format but which are recognised by Firebird. Date values that
103 cannot be converted to a string using Pascal library are now passed through
104 to Firebird as Text Strings.
105
106 3. Lookup character set name by codepage amended to ensure that CP_UTF8 returns
107 UTF8 and not UNICODE_FSS.
108
109 4. Charset ID problem. When using Firebird 3, with no default database character set
110 and a column has a non-default collation specified, an incorrect character set
111 id was being reported that could result in a 'division by zero' error when
112 used by IBX. This has now been fixed.
113
114 5. Move GetCharsetName, CharSetID2CodePage, CodePage2CharSetID, CharSetName2CharSetID,
115 CharSetWidth from IFirebirdAPI to IAttachment. This is a better data model as
116 the character sets supported can be updated on a per database basis. That is
117 it is possible to add a (Firebird) user defined character set to a database.
118
119 6. Add RegisterCharSet to IAttachment. This is used to register a user defined character
120 set supported by Firebird with the API.
121
122 7. Add missing isc_info_db_read_only to list of decoded Database Information items
123 in FBOutputBlock.pas and update test suite to include this item.
124
125 8. FB30Client: avoid always using "StartMultiple" when only a single database attachment.
126
127 9. Loading Windows fbclient.dll: when using the FIREBIRD variable to locate the client
128 library or finding it by disk location, the PATH environment variable is now also set to
129 include the FIREBIRD directory. This is to ensure that the correct dlls in the
130 firebird client library dependencies are loaded.
131
132 10. Testsuite: Ensure consistent UTF-8 output on Windows console.
133
134 11. Testsuite: Update Windows script to include FPC 3.0.4 in search path.
135
136 12. FB30Statement: Protect call to "Move" and avoid calling with a nil pointer
137
138 13. FB30Statement: A check has been added to ensure that all SQL Parameters
139 have been given a value (including NULL). Previously, failing to set the
140 value of an SQL Parameter could give rise to unpredictable results or
141 an SQLDA error.
142
143 14. FB30Statement/FB25Statement: Set SQLParam "modified" when string value set.
144
145 15. FBAttachment: Avoid string reference count error when processing an Ansistring
146 parameter in an array of const passed to IAttachment.OpenCursor, etc.
147
148 16. FBAttachment: Allow for WideString and UnicodeString parameters in an array
149 of const passed to IAttachment.OpenCursor, etc.

152 FBINTF Change Log version (1.0-2) Sat, 04 Mar 2017 14:43:56 +0000
153
154 1. Change syntax to Mode Delphi
155
156 2. Change all uses of string type to explicit AnsiString in order to ensure
157 compatibility between Delphi and FPC.
158
159 3. Various syntax changes to ensure Delphi and FPC compilation including GUIDs
160 defined for each interface.
161
162 4. Generics syntax variations for Delphi added
163
164 5. PChar replaced with PByte expect where an actual string is being referenced,
165 where PAnsiChar is used instead.
166
167 6. Review of type definitions in IBExternals to ensure Delphi compatibility
168
169 7. Testsuite updated for Delphi
170
171 FBINTF Change Log version (1.0-1) Fri, 24 Feb 2017 12:17:57 +0000
172
173 1. Limit maximum Blob segment read/write to MaxuShort. Avoids data loss with
174 large blobs and the FB3 API.
175
176 2. Update Event Handling algorithm to avoid looping due to recreation of the
177 event block.
178
179 3. Avoid invalid XSQLDA error when the only parameter is updated to null
180
181 4. Array Handling: fix problem with text arrays with character set none. When the
182 DB connection has a default character set (e.g. UTF8), an error is raised by
183 Firebird if the space allocated is not enough to allow for transliteration, even
184 though it is not required for character set none.
185
186 5. IBUtils: List of reserved words brought up-to-date
187
188 6. Add ISQL style performance statistics collection to IStatement
189
190 7. Add IFirebirdAPI.CreateDatabase variant to allow execution of user provided
191 CREATE DATABASE statement.
192
193 8. Update SQL Statement parsing to allow for Array Dimensions. That is so that the ':' in
194 an array dimension is not mistaken for a named parameter prefix.
195
196 9. Trim function no longer applied to result of GetAsString for SQL_TEXT
197 when Character set is octets. Avoids loss of non printable characters at start of string.
198
199 10. Add function GetPerfStatistics to IStatement. This returns ISQL like performance
200 statistics for the last action. Requires use of procedure IStatement.EnableStatistics
201 to enable stats gathering.
202
203 11. API Version information added as constants to IB.pas
204
205 12. BlobMetaData character set id should now be the same as that given by IColumnMetaData.GetCharSetID
206
207 13. Firebird Character set "NONE" now interpreted as codepage CP_ACP.
208
