|
||
<p>
|
||
Set the size of the shared memory buffer pool -- that is, the cache.
|
||
The cache should be the size of the normal working data set of the
|
||
application, with some small amount of additional memory for unusual
|
||
situations. (Note: the working set is not the same as the number of
|
||
pages accessed simultaneously, and is usually much larger.)
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
The default cache size is 256KB, and may not be specified as less than
|
||
20KB. Any cache size less than 500MB is automatically increased by
|
||
25% to account for buffer pool overhead; cache sizes larger than 500MB
|
||
are used as specified. The maximum size of a single cache is 4GB on
|
||
32-bit systems and 10TB on 64-bit systems. (All sizes are in
|
||
powers-of-two, that is, 256KB is 2^18 not 256,000.) For information on
|
||
tuning the Berkeley DB cache size, see
|
||
<a href="../../programmer_reference/general_am_conf.html#am_conf_cachesize" class="olink">Selecting a cache size</a>.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
It is possible to specify caches to Berkeley DB large enough they
|
||
cannot be allocated contiguously on some architectures. For example,
|
||
some releases of Solaris limit the amount of memory that may be
|
||
allocated contiguously by a process. If <span class="bold"><strong>ncache</strong></span> is 0 or 1, the cache will be allocated
|
||
contiguously in memory. If it is greater than 1, the cache will be
|
||
split across <span class="bold"><strong>ncache</strong></span> separate regions,
|
||
where the <span class="bold"><strong>region size</strong></span> is equal to the
|
||
initial cache size divided by <span class="bold"><strong>ncache</strong></span>.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Because databases opened within Berkeley DB environments use the cache
|
||
specified to the environment, it is an error to attempt to set a cache
|
||
in a database created within an environment.
