Hi, can somebody explain this behavior? Tested on FB 2.5.4 and 2.5.3 x64 SC.
CREATE TABLE T_TRANSLATION_META ( F_TRM_ID BIGINT NOT NULL, F_TRM_CODE VARCHAR(512) CHARACTER SET UTF8 NOT NULL COLLATE UNICODE_CI ); CREATE TABLE T_COUNTRY ( F_CNR_ID BIGINT NOT NULL, F_TRM_NAME_ID BIGINT DEFAULT -1 NOT NULL, CF_CNR_NAME COMPUTED BY (((select F_TRM_CODE from T_TRANSLATION_META where F_TRM_ID = F_TRM_NAME_ID))) ); Now this returns `null` (RDB$5 is CF_CNR_NAME). select rdb$collation_id from rdb$fields where rdb$field_name = 'RDB$5' Now I later the above mentioned field to the same expression. ALTER TABLE T_COUNTRY ALTER CF_CNR_NAME COMPUTED BY (((select F_TRM_CODE from T_TRANSLATION_META where F_TRM_ID = F_TRM_NAME_ID))); But now the query for rdb$collation_id returns 3.
