The keys to reducing round trips are to bundle metadata with data to
eliminate the need for info trips and, most importantly, to batch
record retrievals and batch inserts into single large packets. Sending a
MB worth of records is obviously a great win.

Why not? There are at least two ways: client-side blob id and

That all is about the future version of firebird, let's call it FB4.
Certainly (hmm, at least on my mind) we will continue supporting

Unbounded types work very badly with the SQLDA. The original SQLDA was
lifted verbatim from the DB2 spec, circa 1985, because I wanted
something more or less standard. It was pretty much awful then and it
hasn't gotten much prettier since. On the other hand, it's what
everything uses for

And a string with unlimited length is nothing than a blob that is
thought to be character.
If you implement it efficiently or not, is another matter.

A clob is nothing but a blob that is thought to be character.

Add dynamic allocation to SQZ?
No.
SQZ pack RecordBuffer into fixed-size pages, there is no need for dynamic
allocation there.
Dynamic allocation is needed in RecordBuffer only and only for strings.

AFAIK, ccess to single field values is already incapsulated in record

buffer in DSC can be replaced with pointer without hacking whole engine.
So, only SQZ
