I would first try this scenario in IBExpert or fsql, for instance. But I still think it's unrelated to .net provider, the database file is handled by server. OTOH there are some questions about this approach. How you load the data if you store it using concatenating chunks? Some under-average machine has about 1GB of RAM, probably half of this available. Are you really storing such a big files? Do you really need to store it in database? Why you care about DB size? Even if there's some unused pages from concatenation, it'll be used later. And today's high-end disk drives for DB servers have decent GB/$ ratio. -- Jiri {x2} Cincura (CTO x2develop.com) http://blog.vyvojar.cz/jirka/ | http://www.ID3renamer.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Crystal Reports - New Free Runtime and 30 Day Trial Check out the new simplified licensign option that enables unlimited royalty-free distribution of the report engine for externally facing server and web deployment. http://p.sf.net/sfu/businessobjects _______________________________________________ Firebird-net-provider mailing list Firebird-net-provider@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/firebird-net-provider
