 Yes, these values remain constant. Purely theoretically, some different
 UTF8 incarnation may be introduced with a different ID to replace the
 old one (similar to what happened with UNICODE_FSS - UTF8), but ID=4
 will still work as old UTF8.


Excellent, that makes things much easier for me. Thanks for the
confirmation!

[firebird-support] A question about rdb$character_set_id

2014-02-10 Thread Ian Lawrence Barwick 
Hi

Is the integer value of the column rdb$character_set_id from the table
rdb$character_sets constant between Firebird versions?

E.g. will character set UTF8 always be 4 (and was it 4 in pre-2.5 versions)?


Thanks
