Hi, I've been trying to track down exactly what the maximum size of a Firebird EVENT name is.
Experiment shows that POST_EVENT '....' allows 262 (ASCII) characters, 263 gives a truncation error. But the documentation I've managed to track down gives variously 15 (IB6, gpre.h, FB Book), 31 (utl.cpp), 78 (FB v2.0 online manual). I can't find anywhere in the FB release notes or changelog where the limit was ever changed from the official/original 15 characters, and I can't see a specific limit defined in the source. Can anyone tell me what limit I should rely on? (I imagine 15 would be pretty safe, but a little more would be nice ;-) On a similar note, the isc_event_block was documented as limited to 15 events, but I can't see that actually implemented in the code as a defined limit (or not any more). Maybe I should direct this part of the question to firebird-devel? -- Geoff Worboys Telesis Computing Pty Ltd
