I see. This mostly a translation problem. Original documentation says only "string is right-padded with spaces to given length on display" and nothing about storage or network transfer. Though "on display" here is also a strange expression. I'll point to it to he author if he isn't reading this. > That table contains some more problems, for example for VARCHAR it says > the length is in "two trailing bytes". It is also a translator's liberty. -- WBR, SD. ------------------------------------ ------------------------------------ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Visit http://www.firebirdsql.org and click the Documentation item on the main (top) menu.
