Hello there!

Thanks for your quick response. 
The query 
"select
rdb$collation_name
from
rdb$collations
group by
rdb$collation_name
having
count(*) > 1"

results in:

RDB$COLLATION_NAME
<NULL>

IMHO, RDB$INDEX_20 is an index on the RDB$COLLATIONS system table. This 
can be proved by:

select
i.rdb$relation_name
, s.rdb$field_name
from
rdb$indices i join rdb$index_segments s on (i.rdb$index_name = 
s.rdb$index_name)
where
i.rdb$index_name = 'RDB$INDEX_20'

So, basically this means, there are duplicate values in 
RDB$COLLATIONS.RDB$COLLATION_NAME. What do you get by executing the 
following query?

select
rdb$collation_name
from
rdb$collations
group by
rdb$collation_name
having
count(*) > 1
