Buffer` — p_slc_slice

Server

[wireprotocol-responses-generic] — on success, p_resp_blob_id is the array handle.

Statement batches were introduced in protocol 16 (Firebird 4.0).

Create

Int32 — p_batch_statement

Statement handle

Buffer — p_batch_blr

BLR format of batch messages

UInt32 — p_batch_msglen

Message length

Buffer — p_batch_pb

Batch parameters buffer

If ptype_lazy or higher, flushing and response processing can be deferred.

Send messages

Client
Int32 — p_operation

Operation code (op_batch_msg — 100)

Int32 — p_batch_statement

Statement handle

UInt32 — p_batch_messages

Number of messages

Buffer — p_batch_data

Batched values (formatted message repeats 'Number of messages' times)

Execute batch

Client
Int32 — p_operation

Operation code (op_batch_exec — 101)

Int32 — p_batch_statement

Statement handle

Int32 — p_batch_transaction

Transaction handle

Server

Success response:

Int32 — p_operation

Operation code

If operation equals op_batch_cs — 103`:

Batch completion state

Int32 — p_batch_statement

Statement handle

UInt32 — p_batch_reccount

Total records count

UInt32 — p_batch_updates

Number of update counters (records updated per each message)

UInt32 — p_batch_vectors

Number of per-message error blocks (message number in batch and status vector of an error processing it)

UInt32 — p_batch_errors

Number of simplified per-message error blocks (message number in batch without status vector)

Byte[]

Update counters (records updated per each message), array of Int32, length is equal to p_batch_updates

Length is p_batch_updates * 4 bytes long.

Byte[]

Detailed info about errors in batch (for each error server sends number of message (Int32) and status vector in standard way (exactly like in op_response).Number of such pairs is equal to p_batch_vectors.

Length can only be determined by correctly parsing the <Int32><statusvector> pairs.

Byte[]

Simplified error blocks (for each error server sends number of message (Int32) w/o status vector).Used when too many errors took place.Number of elements is equal to p_batch_errors.

Length is p_batch_errors * 4 bytes.

Failure response: [wireprotocol-responses-generic]

Int32 — p_batch_statement

Statement handle

Server

[wireprotocol-responses-generic]

Sync batch

Introduced in protocol 17 (Firebird 4.0.1).

Used to force the server to acknowledge previously sent lazy intermediate operations (e.g. op_batch_msg, op_batch_regblob, op_batch_blob_stream and possibly others).

Client
Int32 — p_operation

Operation code (op_batch_sync — 110)

Operation code (op_batch_regblob — 104)

Int32 — p_batch_statement

Statement handle

Int64 — p_batch_exist_id

Existing BLOB ID

Int64 — p_batch_blob_id

Batch temporary BLOB ID

Server

[wireprotocol-responses-generic]

Stream of BLOB data

Caution

This description needs further verification and possibly correction.For example, it seems to mix up Buffer and Byte[].We’re also not able to match some fields to the implementation.For example, the repeated "Record length" seems to be absent, or may actually refer to the p_batch_blob_data buffer length.
Client
Int32 — p_operation

Operation code (op_batch_blob_stream)

Int32 — p_batch_statement

Statement handle

Buffer[] — p_batch_blob_data

BLOB stream

This stream is a sequence of blob records.Each blob records contains:

UInt32

Record length

The following three fields are called BLOB header

Int64

Batch temporary BLOB ID

UInt32

BLOB size

UInt32

BLOB parameters buffer size

Buffer

BLOB parameters buffer

Buffer

BLOB data (length - BLOB size bytes) (what does this mean?)

BLOB headers and records in a stream need not match, i.e. one record may contain many BLOBs and BLOB may stretch from one record to next.

Server

[wireprotocol-responses-generic]

Batch information request

Uses the [wireprotocol-requests-info] message with:

p_operation

op_info_batch — 111
p_info_object

Statement handle
p_info_items

Values of INF_ constants of IBatch (in IdlFbInterfaces.h)

Services

Attach

Attach to a service.Use message [wireprotocol-connect-attach] with op_service_attach — 82.

Note on p_atch_file:

Current Firebird versions only support one service: service_mgr.Since Firebird 3.0, this can also be an empty string (empty buffer) with the same meaning.

Detach

Send [wireprotocol-connect-detach] with op_service_detach — 83, followed by [wireprotocol-connect-disconnect].

Start

Although the message looks similar to [wireprotocol-requests-info], it has different semantics.

Client
Int32 — p_operation

Operation code (op_service_start — 85)

Int32 — p_info_object

Unused, always use 0

Int32 — p_info_incarnation

Incarnation of object (0)

TODO: Usage and meaning?

Buffer — p_info_items

Service parameter buffer

Server

[wireprotocol-responses-generic]

Although the message looks similar to [wireprotocol-requests-info], it has different semantics.

Client
Int32 — p_operation

Operation code (op_service_info — 84)

Int32 — p_info_object

Unused, always use 0

Int32 — p_info_incarnation

Buffer — p_info_items

Service parameter buffer

Buffer — p_info_recv_items

Requested information items

Int32 — p_info_buffer_length

Server

[wireprotocol-responses-generic] — on success, p_resp_data contains the requested information.
