I downloaded IBOConsole and tested it with my current FB1.5.0.4290
installation. I have a database with UNICODE_FSS default charset.

Registered localhost server, registered TESTUTF database and then
tried to insert non-USascii letters (a with two dots, a with ring etc
scandinavian letters).

"Trying to post a new record it just gives me the following error.
ISC ERROR CODE: 335544321, aritmetic exception, numeric overflow, or
string truncation. Cannot transliterate character between character sets."

I have tried few Java based dbManagers but they lack too much
features. But Java and/or dotNet should give a smooth full unicode
support from point to point. Maybe native UIs, like IBOConsole, dont
cope with unicode charsets well enough.


Table SQL
============
CREATE TABLE "Customer" (
"id" INTEGER NOT NULL,
"Name" VARCHAR(50) CHARACTER SET UNICODE_FSS,
"Code" VARCHAR(3) CHARACTER SET UNICODE_FSS NOT NULL,
CONSTRAINT "PK_Customer" PRIMARY KEY ("id")
);
