[Firebird-devel] [FB-Tracker] Created: (CORE-4231) Context Variables are always character set NONE

[Stefan H. (JIRA) <tr...@fi...>]

Context Variables are always character set NONE
-----------------------------------------------

                 Key: CORE-4231
                 URL: http://tracker.firebirdsql.org/browse/CORE-4231
             Project: Firebird Core
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Charsets/Collation
    Affects Versions: 2.5.2 Update 1
         Environment: Windows 7 Pro 64-Bit, Firebird 2.5.2.26540
            Reporter: Stefan Heymann
            Priority: Trivial


The rdb$set_context and rdb$get_context functions expect and deliver varchar parameters. These are always of character set NONE, independently of the default character set of the database.
Context variables should be stored in the default character set of the database or UTF8.
Until that is fixed, there should be a mention in the documentation that context variables are not aware of any character set at all.
