Not bug exactly, but have a look: SQL> CREATE TABLE T_TRANSLATION_META ( CON> F_TRM_ID BIGINT NOT NULL, CON> F_TRM_CODE VARCHAR(512) CHARACTER SET UTF8 NOT NULL COLLATE CON> UNICODE_CI CON> ); SQL> CREATE TABLE T_COUNTRY ( CON> F_CNR_ID BIGINT NOT NULL, CON> F_TRM_NAME_ID BIGINT DEFAULT -1 NOT NULL, CON> CF_CNR_NAME COMPUTED BY (((select CON> F_TRM_CODE CON> from T_TRANSLATION_META CON> where F_TRM_ID = F_TRM_NAME_ID))) CON> ); SQL> show domain RDB$5; RDB$5 VARCHAR(0) CHARACTER SET UTF8 Nullable SQL> ALTER TABLE T_COUNTRY ALTER CF_CNR_NAME COMPUTED BY (((select CON> F_TRM_CODE CON> from T_TRANSLATION_META CON> where F_TRM_ID = F_TRM_NAME_ID))); SQL> show domain RDB$5; RDB$5 VARCHAR(0) CHARACTER SET UTF8 Nullable COLLATE UNICODE_CI The resulting "show domain" produces different results. Which is at least confusing. Of course tools like IBExpert are confused by this as well. Especially for raw DDL exports (which for computed columns is weird, I know). -- Mgr.
