Hi, Looking at the open issues for the HSQL to Firebird auto migration functionality particular the issues regarding data types and other test files I put together a possible map of what I think makes sense in translating hsql to firebird types. [Read only view of it here https://nextcloud.documentfoundation.org/s/TTBT4fJ2xTdbMJQ ]
I'm sharing it here for two purposes, first it would be a big help to have this type of thing with whatever the actual mapping is - so - if that is already set I could really use for someone to let me know what would need to change there. However; Secondarily and since it doesn't seem to be settled in the code at the moment I wand to propose this mapping. The are three suggested changes; first is to treat OTHER[OTHER] as a custom subt_type (-1) of blob instead of a CLOB as this would give the same behavior in Base with firebird as with hsql second is to treat HSQL Binary(fix)[BINARY] as Binary[BINARY] with sub_type of 0 or 1 based on a scan of some number of the records checking for text data And the third would be to display two additional labels in table editor (Memo[Blob] and OTHER[BLOB]) for consistency with the current UI using hsql. Either way it's good see the work going on and I'm excited to help as I can. Best wishes, Drew
