 System Requirements 
 The initial installation of the Firebird Server for your database will require 27 mb. 
The normal rate of growth of the database file without file attachments is 1 MB per 7000 records. 
Pictures in the personnel records can be added at a rate of about 6 MB per 100 personnel. 
If file attachments are added to records, the database will grow in size based on the size of the attachments.
