Dmitry, I Just curious!

My application has a good transaction control and old record versions is not
a problem.



I read the this PDF <http://www.firebirdsql.org/manual/fb-internals.html>
http://www.firebirdsql.org/manual/fb-internals.html

and start making tests to see how this works.



I already have read your site and both have lots of interesting information!



I think Firebird uses the best approach for deleted records but I don't
understand much why. In this aspect it is very different than Paradox that
rewrite the whole page without deleted records (if is not the first or last
record of the page).



As Ann says it choose the easiest way =)
