<h1 class="topictitle1">Storage pool paging option effect on database performance</h1>
|

|
|
<div><p>The paging option of shared pools can have a significant impact
|
||
|
|
on the performance of reading and changing database files. </p>
|
||
|
|
<div class="p"><ul><li>A paging option of *FIXED causes the program to minimize the amount of
|
||
|
|
memory it uses by: <ul><li>Transferring data from auxiliary storage to main memory in smaller blocks</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Writing file changes (updates to existing records or newly added records)
|
||
|
|
to auxiliary storage frequently</li>
|
||
|
|
</ul>
|
||
|
|
This option allows the system to perform much like it did
|
||
|
|
before the paging option was added.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>A paging option of *CALC might improve how the program performs when it
|
||
|
|
reads and updates database files. In cases where there is sufficient memory
|
||
|
|
available within a shared pool, the program might: <ul><li>Transfer larger blocks of data to memory from auxiliary storage.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Write changed data to auxiliary storage less frequently.</li>
|
||
|
|
</ul>
|
||
|
|
The paging operations done on database files vary dynamically based on
|
||
|
|
file use and memory availability. Frequently referenced files are more likely
|
||
|
|
to remain resident than those less often accessed. The memory is used somewhat
|
||
|
|
like a cache for popular data. The overall number of I/O operations might
|
||
|
|
be reduced using the *CALC paging option.</li>
|
||
|
