I'm looking for firebird users who are supporting large databases.
We are an informix and firebird shop and have a big project in
development. While we use firebird extensively for small apps ( <
5gb ) we are hesitant to use it for databases in the hundreds of
gb's. Two reasons we question firebird's ability to scale are lack
of table placement control (you can't put a large table on a
separate disk volume) and the apparent need to backup/restore
frequently to keep things "tidy".
We are very happy with firebird for the smaller apps and want to use
it for larger ones. Anyone out there have a really large firebird
database?

Any replies are greatly appreciated,

Thanks
Fred
