Legacy configuration to COUNT return an INTEGER instead of BIGINT
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Key: CORE-6259
URL: http://tracker.firebirdsql.org/browse/CORE-6259
Project: Firebird Core
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: Engine
Affects Versions: 3.0.5
Reporter: Beto Neto
The new version of Firebird 3 causes a lot of impacts on legacy applications
with the COUNT function.
A very useful feature would be, if it existed an configuration to rollback the
return type of COUNT from BIGINT to INTEGER.
I know that exists workarrounds like "CAST(count(*) as INTEGER)" but the work
to add an CAST to all COUNTs can be very expensive. The simple way could be
just "ativate" a backward compatibility property in firebird.conf like the
'AuthClient = Legacy_Auth'.
