Subject Re: [firebird-python] Events

Hi Hajime,

The event notification in FB (via client library API) uses two data
structures (event blocks). One for event counts received so far and
other for updated event counts. They are initialized by isc_event_block
API call. Once the AST callback is registered via isc_que_events API
call, your callback function receives and update block one needs to keep
(typically copied over old one). To get the actual count of events, one
needs to call isc_event_counts with both event blocks as parameters,
which returns "flags" (actual counts since last one) for changed ones
and copies updated one over "last" one to reset the counter. Important
thing is, that AST callback is called immediately on first
isc_que_events to initialize/reset the counters (i.e. when event block
doesn't match the current update block).

So, pyfirebirdsql needs to do something similar internally.
