Creating a buffer pool

Privileges

Only a system administrator can create, modify, and delete buffer pools.

You can define buffer pools on named caches in Active status or on the default data cache. A buffer pool is common memory pool which can be shared among caches. You can add or reduce the size of a buffer pool.

Select the buffer pool icon, then select File | Properties.
Select the Buffer Pool tab.
Click Add. The Add/Change Memory Pool dialog box opens.
In the I/O Size box, select a size from the drop-down list. Allowable sizes are 4K, 8K, and 16K. The list includes only those sizes that have not yet been created.
In the Amount in Pool box, enter the amount of space to reassign from the default buffer pool. The new pool must not reduce the 2K pool to less than 512K. As you change the Amount in Pool value, the space remaining in the 2K pool is reported in the Affected Pool group box.
Click OK.

When you create a buffer pool, you cannot set the wash size. Adaptive Server sets a default wash size. After you create the buffer pool, you can edit the wash size.
