But shouldn't the client send the DDL expression/query in the charset
defined by the connection, and then FB would transliterate any parts of
it as appropriate:

...check ("Användare" <> 'abcåäö')...
...-------><-------><----><----><-...
1 2 3 4 5
Parts 1, 3, and 5 would be transliterated to plain ascii.
Part 2 would be transliterated to UTF8.
Part 3 would be transliterated to the charset of "Användare".

Or is it actually the case that this transliteration should be made by
the client? (Would seem rather odd...)

Just trying to understand what's going on.

Thanks,
Kjell
