Maximum is 64k pages per database. (But until some internal algorithms
are tuned, it is recommended to use smaller value; 10000 is usually enough).
Do not forget that Firebird will use much more memory (not configurable)
for other tasks, e.g. to hold connection informations, transaction lists,
sorting buffers, row buffers, sparse bitmaps, prepared statements,
compiled triggers/procedures, etc.
