There are other resaons why your proposal will cause you (your users) grief.
1. If you chagne the schema, you need to revisit/recalc your size
expectation.
2. You can only ever give your users a vague notion that at some point the
system will object to the file size being too large. Can you give them a
definitive size?
3. If they insert a number of records, then delete them, then you check, the
file size may be past your limit but there may be no records in the table!!
