Replying here to both Fabiano(?), Ann and Doug. Thank you for clearing
up my misunderstanding re. index vs. data pages. I understand now that
"use all space" is not useful in my situation.

Doug: I'm not trying to "solve" or "improve" something. I am going to
upgrade the ODS from the one for FB 2.1 to the one for FB 2.5, since
I've now finally upgraded the FB installation. And, since that's an
operation that takes ~12-24 hours, I want to get it right the first
time, and hopefully with the "best" options for my database, i.e. the
options that will give best performance when using the resulting database.

Regards,
Kjell
