<pre>In theory, it is supposed to be:
Char and Varchar: 32767 bytes
for encoding in single byte character encoding
according to :
<a href="http://www.firebirdfaq.org/faq61/">http://www.firebirdfaq.org/faq61/</a>
but then I seem to recall that we encode using 4 bytes per character because we
accept UTF-8, thereby reducing the total possible length of a VARCHAR field to
about 8K ?
