Article #25809: Smallest database size possible

Problem:
What is the smallest size database I can create?

Solution:
The answer depends on your database page size, and the platform you're running on,
but it is in the range of 200-300KB.

We tried it using InterBase 5.5 for NT and created a database with various page sizes.
We did not add tables, triggers or data.

Here are the results:

* Extract Database c:small.gdb */
CREATE DATABASE "c:small.gdb" PAGE_SIZE...

Page_Size 
1024 = 	230 KB
2048 = 	340 KB
4096 = 	568 KB
8192 =  	984 KB
