SQL$HELP72.HLB  —  CREATE  DATABASE  Arguments  GLOBAL_BUFFERS
    Syntax options:

    GLOBAL BUFFERS ARE ENABLED | GLOBAL BUFFERS ARE DISABLED

    Specifies that Oracle Rdb maintains one global buffer pool
    per VMScluster node for each database. By default, Oracle Rdb
    maintains a local buffer pool for each attach. For more than one
    attach to use the same page, each must read it from disk into
    its local buffer pool. A page in the global buffer pool may be
    read by more than one attach at the same time, although only one
    process reads the page from the disk into the global buffer pool.
    Global buffering provides improved performance because I/O is
    reduced and memory is better utilized.

                                   NOTE

       If GALAXY SUPPORT is enabled, then a single global buffer
       pool is shared by all Galaxy nodes.
