"Plugin" does not express any means on what is plugged in, whether a config file, particular code or a UDF. We are talking about building something into the firebird engine, not a UDF - because a UDF can be used right now, there is nothing to talk about on this list. If you integrate something into the engine, you can consider alternative 2. to 4. that Kjell pointed out. What I think is, that trying approach 4 will be doomed to fail, and approach 2 is - well I'd not say "useless", but probably not worth the efford. Thus, we should try to find a way to make this extensible just like collations. -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen, Thomas Beckmann Diplom-Informatiker Wielandstraße 14c • 23558 Lübeck Tel +49 (04 51) 399 04 - 525 • Fax +49 (04 51) 399 04 - 559 Mail thomas.beckm...@assfinet.de <mailto:thomas.beckm...@assfinet.de> ASSFINET-Logo *ASSFINET Dienstleistungs-GmbH* Max-Planck-Straße 14 • 53501 Grafschaft bei Bonn i...@assfinet.de <mailto:i...@assfinet.de> • www.assfinet.de <http://www.assfinet.de/> Geschäftsführer: Dipl.
