No: you can't split Firebird database into a 'file per table'. But your approach makes no sense. I am not sure what you mean with versioning, but if you mean for safe keeping: make backups regularly. If you are talking about the versioning the database structure: use a tool like Liquibase. Using a tool like dropbox with your database might even be a good way to corrupt your database, especially if you access the dropbox folder from multiple computers. Mark
