No-one answering you? Ok, I will give it a go...
The size of an FB database within a single file is determined by the
operating system. The max size over multiple files is huge - I don't know
how big, but you will not reach that limit. On www.cvalde.com I read that
the theoretical limit for IB was 32TB - that was a two year old document so
the limit for Firebird is certainly not less than that. Tell us more about
your system if you worry that it will exceed that size shortly... Number of
records - well, as a guess I would say 2^64, but I really don't know - I
only work on small databases up to about 10 million rows.
