I have just noticed the following phenomenon, and am curious if it's
expected behavior, or if it can (or has been) fixed for the much anticipated
RC2.

I have a table with a blob field that I insert millions of records into. I
have modified it's Before Insert trigger to do :

new.blob=null;

This works fine. The problem is that FB is still allocating space in the
database for the new.blob, so my .gdb file is growing at the exact same rate
as if I didn't have the trigger there in the first place.

Is there anything that can be done to solve this issue?
