Hello,



We have firebird super server installed.



The one problem I observed is that the database size keeps on increasing
even when we cleanup up the data after usage. An initial 9 MB file
increases to 505 MB ....



I tried doing garbage collection using gfix utility with sweep option
but was of no use.



The other method tried was using backup and restore using gbak which
worked fine and reduced the database size to the original.



Is there a method known for not increasing the db size without using
backup and restore?



Regards,
Santosh M.
