It's very important feature of RDBMS to encourage db-developers designing of
effective OS-level layout and to help them easier maintaining a big
databases (with blobs of course) by introducing simple feature into the
RDBMS - allowing to allocate phisycal space specifically for some selected
table(s).
Have this feature ever been considered to be included in FB ?
