Hello
I write in Java one thing and needs to check if the data word, eg
"Warszawa" includes storage space encoded as UTF8

I started googling for this and found something like this

String s = "Warsaw"
s.getByte ('UTF-8'). length - returns me probably 7 bytes

I have a field in a table (base Firebird)
declared in this way

"KOD" VARCHAR (6)

IBExpert multiplies the size of the VARCHAR * 4

So I am also downloading this value multiplied by four what would have
gave it (24 bytes), but my thinking here is probably incorrect and
should not multiply this value by 4 because Firebird me screams that
does not fit.

and here a question for you which value should be taken into account
because it multiplied like so it means that something kicked while
getting the size in bytes of UTF8?


Regards
