We can't fix or enhance third-party libraries.

We need to propose a way to use the new SQLDA version only if one
requested it.

If not, and a long identifier is sent to the client, an exception should
be throw.

We greater field length in SQLDA to:
- Replace broken UNICODE_FSS by UTF8 in system tables
- Increase identifier length

We also need a way to pass strings of unknown length.
