This is not an IBO question.

I recommend that you post your problem to the
Firebird-support list and include the metadata of
your tables. "One table per book" does not sound
like an effective relational database strategy.

In passing, I'd comment that, if you are storing
the actual text of the Bible books in blobs, then
30 Mb does not seem unreasonably large. If the
old Access DB was only 2.5 Mb, then it was not
storing the text of the books, but linking to external files.
