Updated 2007-07-16 and subject to review

Database Limits
Item	Firebird 2.x	Firebird 1.5.x
Maximum size of database	Practically unlimited using multiple database files (largest known database is over 980 GB)	32 TB using multiple files
Maximum size of one database file	Multiple terabytes on most platforms; limited by file systems (4 GB or 2 GB on some platforms)	Same
Maximum number of database files	64,535	Same
Maximum number of tables	64,535	Same
Maximum size of one table	~32 TB	~36 GB
Maximum size of external table file	2 GB	Same
Maximum number of rows per table	> 16 Billion (not been measured beyond this)	~4 Billion
	NOTE :: 1 Billion is 1024³
Maximum row size	65,536 bytes (64 KB)	Same
Maximum database page size	16 KB	Same
	NOTE :: Page size (PAGE_SIZE) can be 1024, 2048, 4096, 8192 or 16384. Size 1024 is not recommended.
Maximum number of columns per table	Depends on data types used. (Example: 16,384 INTEGER (4-byte) values per row.) NOTE :: 8-byte ID is stored for each BLOB or ARRAY reference; size of BLOB or ARRAY data is not counted in row size.
Maximum number of indexes per table	65,535	Same
Maximum size (total width) of index key	4,096 bytes when page size is 16 KB (limited to 1/4 of database page size)	252 bytes
	IMPORTANT :: Limit decreases for character columns when character set is multi-byte; non-binary collation further reduces limit.
Maximum number of indexes per database	4,398,046,511,104	Same
Data Type Specifics Name Size Range/Precision Description Varchar(n) n chars 1 to 32767 bytes Variable length char or text string. NB, multi-byte character sets reduce number of possible characters proportionately Smallint 16 bits -2^15 to 2^15-1 Signed short (word) Integer 32 bits -2^31 to 2^31-1 Signed long (longword) Float 32 bits 3.4 x 10^-38 to 3.4 x 10^38 Accurate to 7 digits Double Precision 64 bits 1.7 x 10^-308 to 1.7 x 10^308 Accurate to 15 digits Timestamp 64 bits (2 X 32 bits) 1 Jan 100 CE to 28 Feb 32768 CE Includes time and date as two 32-bit structures Date 32 bits 1 Jan 100 CE to 28 Feb 32768 CE Date only. Time part is not stored. Time 32 bits 0:00 to 23:59.9999   BLOB <32GB -- Stores data of variable indeterminate size Numeric (precision, scale) Variable (16, 32, or 64 bits) specifies exactly precision digits of precision Example: Numeric(10,3) holds numbers accurately in the following format: ppppppp.sss Decimal (precision, scale) Variable (16, 32, or 64 bits) specifies at least precision digits of precision Example: Decimal(10,3) holds numbers accurately in the following format: ppppppp.sss
