Could you tell me please what is the difference using Unicode
and "common" character sets/collations? What was the goal of creating
Unicode at all? :)

Some time ago I created the program, which worked quite well with
Unicode (I mean inserting and updating). But simple select statement
with "like '%<string_with_non-digit_chars>'" clause made the FB/IB
server down (v. 1.0.3 and 6.0 respectivly).

Thanks.
