Page_Buffers=number-buffers Specifies the maximum number of buffers Oracle Rdb uses during the RMU Restore operation while the database files are being created. The value of the Page_Buffers qualifier can range from 1 to 5. The default is 3 buffers. Values larger than 3 might improve performance, especially during incremental restore operations. When RMU Restore enters the stage of reconstructing internal structures at the end of the restore operation, a high value for the Page_Buffers qualifier can be useful for very large databases. However, the cost of using these extra buffers is that memory use is high. Thus, the trade-off during a restore operation is memory use against performance.
