Hi,

we ran into a little problem regarding blanks.

Try the following code (FB 2.5.1):

<code>
create exception blank 'blank';

SET TERM ^ ;

create OR alter procedure p_test
as
begin

IF (' ' = '') THEN
exception blank;
end
^

SET TERM ; ^

execute procedure p_test;


</code>

If you run it, the exception is raised. My question is why Firebird thinks that a blank (or two or three or four for that matter) is the same as an empty string. Is this a bug or an intended feature?

Thanks in advance!
