Set the desired density within the hash table. If no value is
|
||
specified, the fill factor will be selected dynamically as pages
|
||
are filled.
|

</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
The density is an approximation of the number of keys allowed to
|
||
accumulate in any one bucket, determining when the hash table grows or
|
||
shrinks. If you know the average sizes of the keys and data in your
|
||
data set, setting the fill factor can enhance performance. A reasonable
|
||
rule computing fill factor is to set it to the following:
|
||
</p>
|
||
<pre class="programlisting"> (pagesize - 32) / (average_key_size + average_data_size + 8) </pre>
