I have a problem with 2.5.8 version of firebird from EPEL repository.
After updating Firebird from version firebird-superserver-2.5.7.27050.0-1.el7.x86_64 to firebird-superserver-2.5.8.27089.0-1.el7.x86_64
application failed to start with error message: "bad parameters on attach or create database CHARACTER SET WIN1250 is not defined".
I could NOT find any related issue on the google with similar description. After restoring Firebird from backup application works fine.
But on other CentOS server I do update again and finally found a solution.
When I take a file /usr/lib64/firebird/intl/fbintl from version 2.5.7 and put it (replaced it) in version 2.5.8 application start working again on 2.5.8.

It looks like missing CHARACTER SET WIN1250 definition in file /usr/lib64/firebird/intl/fbintl on version 2.5.8 from EPEL repository.
Sorry, for bad text formatting I will try to put it again:
