UTF8 will always reserve 4 bytes per "Char" in Transferbuffers because a UTF8 Char can be up to 4 Bytes long if have not looked at FB 3 but in 2.5 the maximum size of a varchar is some 32000 Char , due to the 4 Byte/Char space reservation mechanism this will go down to 8000 and some for UTF8 Encoded > Regards, > Rick > > > > -- Mit freundlichen Grüssen Hannes Streicher mailto:[email protected]
