New items for isc_database_info
1. isc_info_active_tran_count :
return number of currently active transactions
2. isc_info_creation_date :
return date and time when database was created
To decode call isc_vax_integer twice to extract (first) date
and (second) time portions of ISC_TIMESTAMP. Then use
isc_decode_timestamp as usual
3. fb_info_page_contents :
return contents of some database page
Query format is <fb_info_page_contents> <length> <page_number>, where
<length> is 2-byte length of <page_number>
<page_number> is 4-byte number of requested page.
In the future it will be possible to pass 8-byte page_number value
including both page number and page space number.
Response format is <fb_info_page_contents, length, page_content>, where
<length> is 2-byte length of <page_content> and is equal to database
page size
This feature is allowed only for SYSDBA or database owner for security
reasons. Introduced in Firebird v2.5.
See also CORE-2054.
