Firebird only sends the error code (+ message parameters), the client looks up the error message and replaces message parameters where necessary. This removes the need to send the full messages over the wire. These byte savings might not be so important these days, but probably was when this was first implemented. It has the downside of needing to have firebird.msg with the client. As far as I know you do get an error message that firebird.msg is missing (or that might be specific to IBpp), followed by several unknown isc errors. This is not something that can be easily replaced without changing the protocol and expectations of all existing clients (including those that don't use fbclient.dll). BTW: One thing I have learned in the past few years is that there are no real "standard way"s of doing things anywhere.
