Just to be very clear: Regardless of the type of file I/O, a
Firebird database can consist of multiple database files, so
the theoretic limit of database size is 4Gb * 16Kb.

Firebird also supports access to external (non-database) files.
There the limit is 2Gb per file. A single database can reference
many external files. "Many" depends on the open file limit of
the operating system.
