--- Comment #17 from Lionel Elie Mamane <lionel at mamane.lu> ---
IIRC, this was done to handle the "worst case scenario" of a Unicode character
needing 4 bytes in storage, and since in Firebird the length of a varchar field
is bytes and not characters... to be sure to put 1, resp. 5, characters we must
allocate a VARCHAR(4), respectively a VARCHAR(20).
