Leave a comment

Hello Everyone.

In the current release, we have continued expanding the support of Firebird v4.

https://www.ibprovider.com/eng/news/n_230620__fb4_step2.html

New features

  • The full support of DECFLOAT(16) and DECFLOAT(34) has been implemented
  • The new version of IBProvider supports the ICU v63 from FB4 kit
  • Using «ALTER SESSION RESET» for resetting a connection before reusing (see this new example)

Kind Regards and Good Luck! IBProvider Team.

IBProvider v5.29. The initial support of FB4

Leave a comment

Hello All 🙂

The implementation of FB4 support requires time. That is why we decided to split this process into parts and make intermediate releases. It will allow you to begin using IBProvider with FB4 right now.

https://www.ibprovider.com/eng/news/n_230522__fb4_step1.html

The current support of FB4

  • You can work with FB4 through fbclient.dll
  • You can work with FB4 through a built-in client (dbclient_type=fb.direct). The 13th protocol will be used
  • The long name of database objects are supported
  • All the FB4 datatypes (including new datatypes: INT128, DECFLOAT, time/date with a time zone) are supported at the metadata layer
  • The full support of INT128 and NUMERIC on base INT128 was implemented
  • New initialization properties were added — int128_rules, numeric_i16_rules

Lots of functional and load tests were made with using FB v4.0.3.2937.

For mission-critical, multi-threaded and 24/7 applications, we highly recommend using the built-in client.

IBProvider Free does not support FB4.

Additional changes

  • The support of DBTYPE_TIMESTAMPOFFSET was added
  • The transformation between {DBTIME, DBTIME2} and {DATE, DBDATE, DBTIMESTAMP, FILETIME} was deleted
  • The transformation of NUMERIC into VARIANT was improved
  • The procession of charset names was corrected

With best regards, IBProvider Team.
