Ilia, AFAIK client library for SS and CS are the same, but Services
API for CS server is recently recreated from ash and still not with
full functionality. Most probably this is a minor bug of CS Services
API. I believe you should discuss this in firebird-develop list and,
perhaps, it can be fixed in ongoing 1.5.1 which is on stage of final
testing now. Most FB people are at Conference at Fulda just now, but
several developers are available.
