Hi,

> I'm facing a problem with Firebird 1.5 Embedded Server version. It would

rather be desirable to handle character sets / collations in client
applications.

>

It does and it can. Make sure to include the "intl" folder in your embedded
install.

> As I try to connect to a database with a CharSet WIN1250 set as default

the following message appears on screen: ~"Charset WIN1250 is not defined"-
or something similar to this. So, temporarily I use Character Set NONE in my
recent databases but willing to dig for a solution to mend collation
problems since result order, char-case in queries is hard to be happy with.

> If anyone of You happen to know where the key is to my problem, please

clue me up with a few hints.

> Any kind of help is greatly appreciated.
