For consistency of the grammar, I think it is better if the NATIVE
option is also prefixed with TO,
So instead of SET BIND <type> NATIVE, I think it should be SET BIND
<type> TO NATIVE. This would match with the form of SET BIND <type> TO
LEGACY, and grammatically, this also makes more sense to me, because you
instruct Firebird to bind the type *to* a type (even if you are just
saying to bind it to itself).
As a separate issue, I noticed a discrepancy: DECFLOAT is an alias for
DECFLOAT(34), but SET BIND DECFLOAT TO VARCHAR will map both
DECFLOAT(16) and DECFLOAT(34), while SET BIND DECFLOAT(34) TO VARCHAR
will only map DECFLOAT(34). Looking at the parser rules, I can't see how
it arrives at a different result for this.
