After some hot discussion in Firebird-Java, I want to propose to ditch
the NONE as default character set for newly created databases when no
database charset is specified.
Read the rest of the full thread on Firebird-Devel.
Seems that readline does have utf-8 support and can be used for inserting/selecting accented chars
Check if libedit is used instead of readline
ldd /usr/bin/isql-fb | grep libedit
libedit.so.2 => /usr/lib/libedit.so.2 (0x00007f3dcbd7b000)
export LD_PRELOAD=/lib/libreadline.so.6
check if is preloaded
ldd /usr/bin/isql-fb | grep readline
/lib/libreadline.so.6 (0x00007fc661d22000)
Then use isql-fb as usual
