For char and varchar fields Firebird sends the field character set in 
the sqlsubtype, i have readed this in a message of Nickolay Samofatov in 
the Firebird-Java list ( getParameterMetaData - 06/10/2003 13:04), and i 
decided after comment it on the .net provider list to try to implement 
it, now the .net provider sends the parameter value to the firebird 
server encoded with this character set (if it's supported by the .net 
provider if not it will use the character set specified in the 
connection string).

Maybe i'm wrong but i think it needs to work ok :)
