Server doesn't determine real length of string in characters, so it just pad string up to 4*MaxChars bytes with spaces. That's why for CHAR(20) you always get 80 bytes of data, which can contain more that 20 characters if you count trailing spaces as well. And there is no place in API where real length in bytes can be provided for CHAR() type. Because of that handling of CHAR() is broken in many places for UTF-8 and alike charsets. -- WBR, SD. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot Firebird-Devel mailing list, web interface at https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/firebird-devel
