Subject RE: [firebird-support] Any API to get the database size?

Thanks Alan,
with larger page size might effect let's say another couple of (may be more) megs.
I think I can live with that.
But If I go with record count approach and apply to a real time application this might slow down my application.

I don't think this would be the right approach. The DB size is not an
accurate means of putting this sort of limit on things. If someone restores
the DB with a larger page size than you expect, then your calcs may not be
correct.
You're better off doing this on record counts - something more definitive.
