would it be possible to change the data type of a field
I mean: from int16 to int64 or int32 to int64?
Because in Firebird 2.5, a count(*) is of type int32 while in firebird 3 > it is treated as int64
hmm - what would be the use case for this feature?
Usually we use the same data type as Firebird uses. This way we can be sure that the data that Firebird sends to us fits into the field type and so we can be sure that the data we get fits into the data type Firebird expects.
Do you use persistent fields? Or type casts?
Best regards,
Jan
