Incorrect value for RDB$FIELD_LENGTH for CHAR/VARCHAR columns in system table
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: CORE-5132
URL: http://tracker.firebirdsql.org/browse/CORE-5132
Project: Firebird Core
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Engine
Affects Versions: 3.0 RC2, 2.5.5
Reporter: Mark Rotteveel
The field RDB$FIELDS.RDB$FIELD_LENGTH reports the wrong value for CHAR and
VARCHAR columns in the system tables. It is reporting the character length
instead of the (max) byte length of 3 * character length (for UNICODE_FSS).
I understand this is a legacy from earlier versions, but maybe Firebird 4
should start reporting the correct length as the character length is available
in RDB$CHARACTER_LENGTH.
