The NUMBUFS environment variable defines the number of fixed cache buffers.
Value
The number of buffers.
Discussion
NUMBUFS sets the number of cache buffers used for each file.
Files opened with I/O caching (which occurs automatically in Synergy/DE 10 and above) allocate buffers dynamically depending on the size of the file. The number of buffers is based on the best mix of cache buffers for a particular file with respect to usage, and that is the sum of all keys’ index depths plus two times the number of keys. The size of each cache buffer is about the size of the index PAGE size for a file. See Page size for more information.
Setting location
The environment. On Windows, this environment variable can also be set in the [synergy], [dbl], [dbr], [dblink], [dblibr], or [myprog] section of synergy.ini (where myprog is any .dbr file).
