Is it a good idea to create a custom type for the primary key of each data table?

We have a lot of code that passes about “Ids” of data rows; these are mostly ints or guids. I could make this code safer by creating a different struct for the id of each database table. Then the type checker will help to find cases when the wrong ID is passed. E.g the Person table has a column calls PersonId and we have code like: ...

Special care/settings for databases that hit a few tables in particular

Firebird Database Keeps getting larger

This one is interesting to me - despite the almost inane title. I have used Firebird for a long time, but not until recently noticed an interesting behavior. I am using embedded firebird 1.5, and noticed that if I stuff the database full of blobs (lets say 10mb worth), the size of the database increases. I can then delete all the field...
