Syntax option: MAXIMUM BUFFER COUNT IS buffer-count Specifies the number of buffers a process will write asynchronously. The default is one-fifth of the buffer pool, but not more than 10 buffers. The minimum value is 2 buffers; the maximum value can be as large as the buffer pool. You can override the number of buffers to be written asynchronously by defining the logical name RDM$BIND_BATCH_MAX. For information about how to set the values, see the Oracle Rdb7 Guide to Database Performance and Tuning.
