README 2003-12-23 - Harbour Low Level api for Firebird and Interbase RDBMS
This work is not finished yet. It's to be seem like Harbour TMysql routines.
For full firebird documentation look at:
Firebird home: http://firebird.sourceforge.net/index.php
Api: http://www.ibphoenix.com/downloads/60ApiGuide.zip
Data Definition: http://www.ibphoenix.com/downloads/60DataDef.zip
Language Reference: http://www.ibphoenix.com/downloads/60LangRef.zip
Developers guide: http://www.ibphoenix.com/downloads/60DevGuide.zip
The Class implementation has no all implementation like TMysql has, because Firebird it's diferent.
For example, you can't navigate in records like Mysql do, ex: Getrow( number of row ), in firebird you can
just go forward.
FILES:
firebird.c - Low level api
TFirebrd.prg - Class implementation, it's to be seems like TMysql.
tests\simple.prg - Simple test class
tests\stress.prg - Stress test class
tests\test.prg - Testing using only low level api
tests\testapi.c - Pure C code to test firebird access.
TODO:
Full implementation of blob control. For now, we have only partial control, only for text blobs (subtype 1).
Improve Insert and Update commands using DSQL.
Implements to do:
FBOpenBlob( blob_id )
FBReadBlob( blob_id, string, segment_size )
FBCreateBlob()
FBPutBlob( blob_id, string, segment_size )
FBCloseBlob( blob_id )
BUGS:
Fix a few segment faults. I Need some help to find what's going on here.
That's all folks and sorry my poor english
