Unbounded types work very badly with the SQLDA. The original SQLDA was lifted verbatim from the DB2 spec, circa 1985, because I wanted something more or less standard. It was pretty much awful then and it hasn't gotten much prettier since. On the other hand, it's what everything uses for Firebird.
So here's another seriously heretical thought. If you're planning for Firebird to hang around another 27 years, it's time to define a modern OO API that is easy to use from modern languages, is flexible and extensible, supports an efficient remote protocol, and can fully support the legacy SQL APIs as a proper client layer and maybe even BLR, if that's still important.
