Hi,

As a new Firebird user, I have one major problem. I created an
Firebird database with 3 tables. Major table has 22 fields and two of
them are BLOB fields. Anyway, I started posting records to database to
see how far is DB size is going. After 3000 records (each of them has
one picture in BLOB field), DB size became 1.76 GB. One picture is
76.7 KB. So 76.7 * 3000 = 224 MB approx. How become Firebird generates
1.5 GB for text-only data? DB size is important for me, because
project is coded to hold more than 7000 records.

Is there any thing to decrease DB size?

Thanks,
Can Abdullah Karaca
