At the moment just some 20-30 MB, but I'm sure it will eventually
rise to GB's, since normally nothing will be deleted from the tables.
I just want to be informed well, so that I can help quickly (or make
some prevention) of what can happen with big databases.

Oh, not that much... Just 3-4 users.

What do you mean by this? I connect to the database with IBOObjects
(in Delphi), but I will probably switch to dbExpress. The connection
itself is through TCP/IP

Thanks.
