Hi Thomas, > > Fixed. I documented USER as equivalent to CURRENT_USER and changed the > datatype to varchar(128) according to Helen's book.
That's not correct. Both USER and CURRENT_USER are varchar(31) - at least as far back as Firebird 1.5, but probably longer. I tested practically everything before publishing the LangRefUpd's. No doubt I will have made some mistakes, but if another guide says something different, that's a reason to investigate - not to blindly copy the other stuff into our own docs. In fact, one of the reasons that I tested everything so thoroughly is that I often found discrepancies between several types of documentation (IB guides <-> statements from developers <-> Release Notes <-> Firebird Book <-> other manuals). On some occasions, they *all* differed from reality :-) Cheers, Paul Vinkenoog ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All the data continuously generated in your IT infrastructure contains a definitive record of customers, application performance, security threats, fraudulent activity and more.
