Are you aware that the character data in a row is compressed? See here 
for details 
http://www.firebirdsql.org/file/documentation/reference_manuals/reference_material/html/fbint-page-5.html.
 
That page also has details of how NULLs are represented.

That entire manual (which is currently still undergoing work) can be 
downloaded as a pdf from 
http://www.firebirdsql.org/file/documentation/reference_manuals/reference_material/Firebird-Internals.pdf.

HTH

Cheers,
Norm.
