Firebird is not dBase ;)

All of the data to manage the tables in a database is held in the .fdb
file. If you do use more than one file, then the 'systems tables' have
to be duplicated in each .fdb file, and queries between tables are not
possible! ( With the current versions of Firebird )

The safety is provided by regular backup of the database.
