This is not the constraint's name but name of index on master table this key is referencing to.

The InterBase 6.0 Language Reference also documents it as "Name of FOREIGN KEY constraint for which the index is implemented". IIRC, historically, the index was named the same as the foreign key constraint.

I see you're right, so this has been documented incorrectly for a long time... I'll update fblangref25 - fblangref50.

Fixed in fblangref25 - fblangref50, published fblangref25 - fblangref40.

Thanks for reporting.
