If national characters in identifiers and case sensitivity are so necessary
for Swedish, I wonder how can you use Delphi ?
Delphi is case insensitive, and can't use national characters
in identifiers at all. In Firebird you have the choice of using (standard)
delimited indentifiers to achieve case sensitivity.

What would you do if you want e.g. persistent fields objects
to be named according to database objects - is not it a mess
to use national characters for database objects, and not for
Pascal objects ?
