Dear All,
Does splitting 8G of database to smaller files give a performance
boost? I've read that firedbird 1.5 dosen't limit its database size,
but how does it handle large files? What is the rule of thumb on
firebird database size?
p/s: I'm running my Firebird on RHEL with ext3 filesystem. From
googling I found out that ext3 on RHEL can handle up to terrabytes.
