Hello Paul,

it is a Perl-Script running on Debian-Linux, connecting to an Firebird
RC2 Server (running on another host, Debian-Linux too) using DBI für
connection.

No special transaction isolation, I use standard settings (should be
READ-WRITE, SNAPSHOT, WAIT)

My problem is not that data is not written into the database, that
works fine, ALL data is correctly written into the database during the
transactions, the problem is the enormous and rapid growing of the
database file, also the RAW data is MUCH smaller, the database-file
still continues growing even if there are ONLY updates! This space
seems to be never freed and used again, sweep does not help, database
restart does not help, only backup restore helps, but then file-size
continues to grow in same speed. 8 MB per day for only 160kb raw data
is too much!?
