There was a problem hiding this comment.
Regarding the obsoletion of PacketSize, I don't think we should put the attribute there. It is still valid setting for socket.
- Add new 'BlobSegmentSize' connection string property (range 512-65535 bytes) replacing the blob-specific role of PacketSize - Deprecate PacketSize on FbConnectionStringBuilder and FbConnection (use BlobSegmentSize instead) - Raise wire protocol blob segment limit from 32767 to 65535 bytes in GdsBlob, XdrReaderWriter (WriteBlobBuffer) and the native IFbClient interface (isc_get_segment / isc_put_segment now take unsigned shorts) - Plumb BlobSegmentSize through the full stack: ConnectionString -> GdsConnection / FesDatabase -> DatabaseBase -> BlobBase._segmentSize - Add tests for: connection string parsing/synonyms/validation, FbConnectionStringBuilder getter/setter, and blob read/write with BlobSegmentSize=65535 Fixes FirebirdSQL#1197
- Keep PacketSize as a regular (non-obsolete) setting: it still sizes the socket send/receive buffers of the managed client. - Remove the now-unused DatabaseBase.PacketSize (and the packetSize parameter of FesDatabase); GdsConnection is its only consumer. - Tests: follow the file's `const string ConnectionString` naming, drop the redundant BlobSegmentSizeValidationMaxBoundary test and fold its Validate() check into BlobSegmentSizeParsing.

Summary
This PR implements support for blob segment sizes up to 65535 bytes (64 KiB − 1), as supported by Firebird since version 2.1 (and fully reliable in Firebird 3.0+).
Changes
New
BlobSegmentSizeconnection string propertyBlobSegmentSizeis a new connection string key (synonym:blobsegmentsize) that controls the segment size used when reading/writing blobs.PacketSizedefault, so default behavior is unchanged).FbConnectionStringBuilder.BlobSegmentSizeandFbConnection.BlobSegmentSize.PacketSizeis unchangedPacketSizekeeps its meaning: it sizes the socket send/receive buffers of the managed client. It is just no longer (ab)used as the blob segment size.DatabaseBase.PacketSizewas unused once blobs readBlobSegmentSize, so it was removed (together with thepacketSizeparameter ofFesDatabase).GdsConnection.PacketSizeremains, as the only consumer.Raised wire protocol limits
GdsBlob.GetSegment(all 4 variants): cap changed fromshort.MaxValue - 12(32755) toushort.MaxValue(65535).XdrReaderWriter.WriteBlobBuffer: guard changed fromshort.MaxValuetoushort.MaxValue.IFbClient.isc_get_segment/isc_put_segment: parameter types changed fromshort/ref shorttoushort/ref ushort, matching the Firebird C API's actualunsigned shorttypes.FesBlobupdated accordingly.Stack plumbing
BlobSegmentSizeflows through the full stack:Tests
ConnectionStringTests: 6 new tests (default, parsing, synonym, validation boundaries).FbConnectionStringBuilderTests: 3 new tests (default, setter, getter).FbBlobTests: 2 new integration tests exercising blob read/write withBlobSegmentSize = 65535.
