AFAIK, this can happen if you changed the definition of a column to be

Your problem has nothing to do with CTEs, you are combining implicit
(SQL-89) joins and explicit (SQL-92) joins, and referencing the
implicitly joined table from the explicitly joined tables. The rules for
these have changed in Firebird 3 to be compliant with the SQL
specification and to avoid
te a ticket on tracker.firebirdsql.org.
Make sure you aren't running in limitations of IBExpert itself, say for
example maybe it only shows the first 32K of a field, and your first
blob is 32K. Make sure to verify in a different tool (eg isql, FlameRobin).

Mark Rotteveel
It works, but you should not be using execute statemen. Using for select
should work just fine.
In your case, execute statement only adds overhead and removes compile
time syntax checking and makes it easier to make mistakes and harder to
spot them.
Changing this to use for select would simplify your code, as you would
not be dealing with string concatenation, and you get a compile time
syntax check in return.

We then use the max value with the iItemID group, and substring then
