TIBStringField allows for strings in excess of 8196 bytes of data.

TIBStringField introduces properties to translate between string values and other data types, and to manage language driver conversions. As a descendent of TStringField, TIBStringField inherits many properties, methods, and events that are useful for managing the value and properties of a field in a database.
