Subject RE: [firebird-support] Re: Primary Keys - [was] Database File Size
Author Eduardo Gamboa
I have read all the messages about the subject and I want to thank all of you for your answers. But there is one question that haven't been answered.

Where can I find information about all the limits that apply to DB File Size, Table Size, Blob fields, etc.

Please your help.

Thanks in advance.

But this does not apply to FB server created UUIDs, I assume, since the wiz
bang UUID UDF generator provided by Ian Newby does not rely on the
UuidCreate function.. Does it?
