I am new to Firebird. From what I read in this list it seems that
Firebird quite superior database. However I have little question, does
Firebird requiring - from time to time - to compact the
database...such as what is needed in Cloudscape.

Another question is how do you handle the limitation on table size (I
read somewhere that it is limited to max 4GB). How is Firebird
performance as a function of database size .....

Thanks for any enlightenment.
