I'm not sure if it is a good idea to have those per-database
configurations in one central place. So when you move a database to
another server you have to copy-and-paste those things to the other
server.

What about having a pair of files:
   mydb.fdb
   mydb.conf
Where mydb.conf contains the per-database configuration? In this case,
all you need to do is copy or move both files together.

What about backups? Will GBAK backup and restore these settings so
they don't get lost?
