Is the CSTRING length in bytes or in chars?
When creating an udf with CSTRING(32660) in a UTF8 database, it fails
(using 2.5.8 here) with:
SQL Message : -204
Undefined name
Engine Code : 335544569
Engine Message :
Dynamic SQL Error
SQL error code = -204
Data type unknown
Implementation limit exceeded
COLUMN DSQL internal
Doing the same in a WIN1252 database works just fine.
The Firebird 2.5 language reference says
"As well as the SQL types, the CSTRING type is available for specifying
a null-terminated string with a maximum length of LENGTH bytes."
The InterBase 6.0 Developers Guide says:
"a CSTRING type of a specified maximum byte length."
and
"CSTRING (int) Specifies a UDF that returns a null-terminated string int
bytes in length"
Similarly the InterBase 6.0 Language Reference says:
"CSTRING (int) Specifies a UDF that returns a null-terminated string int
bytes in length"
I think this is a bug, do you agree?
