Supporting v3 / ODS12 *only* (cleaned up unrelated code) may mean treating rdb$relation_type / rdb$context_type / rdb$legacy_flag / etc as mandatory, this is not going to work with older versions (either error or NULL will be returned thus breaking the metadata handling algorithms). If we track NULLs there and fall back into some other algorithms to get the info, this means we *do* support older versions via code duplication (or complication).
