If you create a database using the character set of "ASCII" and create a table with two columns of say varchar 30,000 you can select a row from the table fine. But if you connect to the database using the charset of UTF8 just selecting the row will result in
SQL error code = -204
Implementation limit exceeded
block size exceeds implementation restriction

I did not have this problem with 1.5

FB supports the row size (not only on disk, but in memory as well) up to 64K. With UTF8, every character occupies up to 4 bytes. So VARCHAR(30000) already overflows the limit after ASCII->UTF8 conversion.
