Sybase IQ 12.4.0 Error message for buffer cache settings, Setting PrefetchBufferLimit option

Page 44

Set the name of the transaction log file (-t ) This option sets a filename,

including an optional directory path, for a new transaction log. If the database is not currently using a transaction log, it starts using one. If the database is already using a transaction log, it changes to using the new file as its transaction log.

9.5.9 Error message for buffer cache settings

The following paragraph describes a change in behavior as of Version 12.4.0. It should be added to the section “Do not exceed physical memory” in Chapter 12, Managing System Resources,” in the Adaptive Server IQ Administration and Performance Guide.

If you set buffer cache sizes higher than your system will accommodate, Adaptive Server IQ will not successfully open the database. The new cache options for start up -iqmcand -iqtcshould now be used to open the database and reset the defaults.

9.5.10 Setting Prefetch_Buffer_Limit option

The SET option PREFETCH_BUFFER_LIMIT defines the number of cache pages available to Adaptive Server IQ for use in prefetching (the read ahead of database pages). This option has a default value of 20, which can degrade multi-user performance. Sybase recommends that you set this option to 0 for multi-user applications. This option was omitted from Chapter 12, “Managing System Resources,” of the Adaptive Server IQ Administration and Performance Guide. For more information, see the Adaptive Server IQ Reference.

9.5.11 GRANT CONNECT for existing user ID

The following clarification should be added to Chapter 10, “Managing User

IDs and Permissions” in Adaptive Server IQ Administration and Performance

Guide, and to the GRANT statement in Adaptive Server IQ Reference.

If you have DBA authority, you can change the password of any existing user with the following command:

GRANT CONNECT TO userid IDENTIFIED BY password
