Hello,

I'm getting strange length results for columns with UNICODE data.
I entered following string into database:
abcüäöèæž

First three characters are ASCII, second three are German and third three
are Croatian.

When I execute:
select name, length(name), character_length(name), octet_length(name)
from location
where id = 4

I get:
name = abcüäöèæž (9 characters)
length = 5
character_length = 5
octet_length = 9

OK, maybe my UNICODE is not setup well, but length and character_length
must be 9. I guess octet:length should be at least 12 to 15 (in case
UNICODE is OK).
