Syntax options: NUMBER OF RESERVED ROWS IS n Specifies the maximum number of cache rows that each user can reserve for insertion into the cache. Processes reserve, or allocate, entries in a cache to be used when inserting rows into the cache. To improve efficiency, multiple entries are reserved at one once. Once a user's reserved list becomes depleted, Oracle Rdb attempts to reserve another group of entries. The default is 20 rows. This value is also used when searching for available slots in a row cache. The entire row cache is not searched on the initial pass. This value specifies the maximum number of rows that are searched for a free slot. If at least one free slot is found, the insert operation can proceed. If no free slots are found in this initial search, Oracle Rdb continues searching through the cache until it finds a free slot.
