[Firebird-devel] CLOB/TEXT

[Dmitry Y. <fir...@ya...>]

All,

A long while ago, there was a suggestion to introduce CLOB as an alias 
for BLOB SUB_TYPE TEXT, but this change never went into CVS. Does anyone 
recall any objections to this idea?

Moreover, provided all the text blob related improvements in v2.1, 
wouldn't TEXT be a better name (given it can be implemented as a 
non-reserved keyword)? Any other suggestions?
