Which means firebird reports 8 to your application.
So does this issue only occur on my system and not on others? Do you uses
charset=UTF8 in your databases, and Firebird reports the correct size for
Char() fields?
I never use Char fields, and I also don't use charsets in Firebird...
I'll put together a small test case and sample Firebird database so I can
rule out tiOPF as a possible cause. I'll also double check using different
database components. I have SqlDB, FBLib and IBX (from Delphi 7) available
here.
IBX will present problems; I had problems with field sizes when using IBX and
Delphi 7 and firebird 2.1, which seems to use UTF-8 for metadata.
It might be interesting to see how they solved the problem in later Delphis.
