UTF-8 can take between 1 and 4 bytes per character. The length of the index key in FB 1.5 and up is a quarter of the page size(i.e.: for a page size of 16KB, the maximum index key size will be 4KB). > And I dimly remember that there were such limits for FB 1.5, which > have been extended along with 2.x. Here you are correct, with regards to index key size. The only limitation that existed in FB 1.5, that was basically removed from FB 2.0+, was the table size limit, which under FB 1.5 was 40GB/table and is now(in FB 2.0+) a few TB/table. -- Best regards, Daniel Rail Senior Software Developer ACCRA Solutions Inc.
