Thank you so much. That's all what I needed to know.

varchar(48). That will allow you to store about 50Gb
of compressed data in the record plus whatever space the
blobs actually take.
As I said earlier, an upcoming version of Firebird
will implement a larger record number, and eliminate the
practical limit on table size.

Blobs, regardless of size, take only 8 bytes in the
record and the limit is on record numbers. My guess is
that your compressed records will be about 50 bytes long
- maybe a bit longer depending on the use of the
