[firebird-support] "Unable to determine field precison from system tables"
I've just upgraded my Debian Linux system to the new release (stretch/9) and now I'm getting the following error when accessing a db from Python, using either fdb (1.6.1) or the old kinterbasdb (3.3.0). Unable to determine field precison from system tables: Dynamic SQL Error SQL error code = -303 Implementation of text subtype 114 not located. The query is simply "select version_num from g_version" and the column in question is an int. I can run this query in isql just fine. My Firebird server is 2.5, but with the system upgrade I got the new client library version 3.0.1 (Debian's full version number for it is 3.0.1.32609.ds4-14). If I downgrade the libfbclient2 package back to 2.5.6, the query succeeds. The subtype number is sometimes 114 and sometimes 132. Do I need to stick with the old fbclient library, or is there some I can/need to do to make this work? I have no plans to upgrade my server to Firebird 3 yet. Thanks Hamish
