That was the first thing I tried too, unfortunately illegal in Firebird.

Not sure about FireBird but in SQL Server that would be

INSERT INTO MYTABLE VALUES (1, Char(34))

Does that help?

Subject: [DUG] casting a number as a char in IB SQL

I'm running into difficulty trying to convert the number 34 into a CHAR
(length 1) in an INSERT statement using Firebird/Interbase. This is the
query as I'm trying it:

INSERT INTO MYTABLE VALUES(1, Cast(34 as CHAR))

which it doesn't like - it seems to be trying to convert 34 into the
string '34' which is 2 characters instead of #34.

Am I trying to do the impossible? The Character Set for the relevant
field is 'WIN1251' does that make a difference?

Cheers,
Phil.
