For some applications that makes sense.
Look: you have an old database without new data types and an old application that works with it. The only way to put this old application into troubles is to _change_ type of an old field because with newly added tables and fields the application will be fine as it has no idea about them.
Now tell me: does changing of old fields into new datatypes really make sense? -- WBR, SD. Firebird-Devel mailing list, web interface at https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/firebird-devel
