AFAIU, no, as data is transmited in BLR form.

Another thing I'd like to see is a new way to represent CHAR columns.

The current one, is totally dump for MBCS, as length in bytes of MBCS
CHAR columns is not fixed.

This can be done in one of this ways:
1) new type SQL_TEXT2 semantically identical to SQL_VARYING
2) using a subtype for SQL_VARYING

I prefer (2), so it will just works, and one can differentiate between
VARCHAR and CHAR columns using the subtype.
