Specifies the number of row caches for which slots are reserved in the database. You can use the RESERVE CACHE SLOTS clause to reserve slots in the database root file for future use by the ADD CACHE clause of the ALTER DATABASE statement. You can only add row caches if row cache slots are available. Slots become available after a DROP CACHE clause or a RESERVE CACHE SLOTS clause of the ALTER DATABASE statement. The number of reserved slots for row caches cannot be decreased once the RESERVE clause is issued. If you reserve 10 slots and later reserve 5 slots, you have a total of 15 reserved slots for row caches If you do not specify the RESERVE CACHE SLOTS clause, the default number of row caches is one. Reserving row cache slots is an offline operation (requiring exclusive database access). See the CREATE CACHE clause for more information.
