  Version 1.16
  - first public release, corresponding to mORMot Framework 1.16

  Version 1.17
  - initial working code, tested with ODBC Oracle provider

  Version 1.18
  - huge performance boost due to SQL statement cache implementation
  - added FireBird ODBC driver detection
  - circumvent restriction of some non-Unicode ODBC drivers to use SQL_C_CHAR
    parameter binding instead of SQL_C_WCHAR (e.g. Microsoft Oracle ODBC)
  - circumvent restring of some drivers which expect SQLExpect() columns to be
    retrieved in left-to-right order
  - fixed unexpected exception raised if SQL_NO_DATA is returned
  - fixed issue when binding parameters: now specifies the correct SQL data type
  - now trim any spaces when retrieving database schema text values
  - fixed ticket [4c68975022] about broken SQL statement when logging active
  - fixed ticket [d48283f5ec] about error at binding void string parameter
  - exception during Commit should leave transaction state - see [ca035b8f0da]
  - GetCol() will now retrieve all columns at once - mandatory for drivers not
    supporting SQL_GD_ANY_ORDER feature (like SQL Server Native Client 10.0)
  - TODBCConnectionProperties.Create will now handle full ODBC connection string
    in aDatabaseName instead of ODBC Data Source name in aServerName
  - now TODBCConnection.Connect() will recognize the DBMS from its driver name
  - added NexusDB, Firebird, SQlite3 and DB2 support
  - added Informix support - by EMartin
  - added GetProcedureNames for listing stored procedure names from current connection
  - addes GetViewNames and SQLGetViewNames for listing view names from current connection
  - added ODBCInstalledDriversList for listing installed ODBC drivers (Windows only)
  - overrided GetDatabaseNameSafe over ODBC connection string

  TODO:
  - implement array binding of parameters
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms709287
  - implement row-wise binding when all columns are inlined
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms711730
