RDB$CHARACTER_LENGTH is backed up and restored in RDB$FIELDS. But there's no such field in RDB$RELATION_FIELDS, so getting att_field_character_length from a backup is pointless for this table. AFAIU, this code should be cleaned up. Dmitry ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Subversion Kills Productivity.
