Trying to test D2009 and Firebird i had the following problem:



When the FB database has UTF8 fields:

Case 1: using the IBXpress Components provided by D2009 i get a message
Division by zero when trying to connect

Case 2: using DBExress Components provided by D2009 the Delphi IDE freeze

Case 3: using last ODBC firebierd driver and DbGo (ADO) provided by D2009
the same as case 2

In all of the above cases if in the select sql (that causes the connection),
i don't mention any UTF8 field, the error doesn't happen



Other Points

In other databases of mine not having UTF8 fields, the connection functions
properly with all fields.

The databases - these with UTF8 fields - that have problem, function
properly with D7





Enviroment

Delphi 2009

FB SServer / FbClient.dll / GDS32.DLL build 17910 Databases are created by
FB 2.1.1 version

Windows XP SP3

(all on a fresh VMWare installation that has been done only for testing)





Is this a known problem? If yes, any workaround?



Thanks in advance for any reply
