Small example :

Function GetDatabaseSizePages(IB_Connection:TIB_Connection):integer;
begin
Result:=-1;
if Assigned(IB_Connection) then
Result:=IB_Connection.Characteristics.dbSizeInPages;
end;

Function GetDatabaseSize(IB_Connection:TIB_Connection):Int64;
var APages,APageSize:integer;
begin
Result:=-1;
if Assigned(IB_Connection) then
begin
APages:=GetDatabaseSizePages(IB_Connection);
APageSize:=IB_Connection.Characteristics.dbPage_Size;
Result:=Int64(APages)*Int64(APageSize);
end;
end;
