Loading...What page size should I use?
It’s a common question with interesting background from developers . As I can suppose from IBSurgeon statistics, 99% of Firebird and InterBase developers use default page size: since the old ages it is 1024 bytes, and only for Firebird 2.0 it is changed to 4096 by default. There are 4 main things related with page size: indices depth, database cache size, records per page quantity and disk cluster size.
The shortest answer to this question is to use 4k, 8k or 16k page size. That’s it.

To blob or not to blob… good question!
I guess if you develop data intensive applications dealing with large files at some point, you’ve thought about it at least once: should I put my data files inside the database or should I write them directly to disk?
Ok, so here’s my point:
storing files in Firebird is faster than writing the same files on the filesystem!
