Hello,

This little ° with character set iso8859_1 and collation de_de by > inserting generates a gds-exception error: 335544321 arithmetic exception, > numeric overflow, or string truncation. Cannot transliterate character > between character sets. Both, U+00B0 DEGREE SIGN (see above) and U+00BA MASCULINE ORDINAL INDICATOR are part of ISO 8859-1 and at the same position (Unicode in the range U+0000 to U+00FF and ISO 8859-1 are congruent). So the problem seems to be with the Client Connection Character Set. Which one do you use? Which Firebird version do you use on Server and Client? -- Sorry, the customer claims that this little character is the problem. Now I have found, that He wanted more character to insert into the table as reserved. The client is java jdbc, the database firebird 2.5 cs. Thanks a lot. Best regards.
