Re: Why is rootdbs busy?
Nice script, but I'm afraid that there are some problems. 1) This does not calculate the hash value correctly. The hashing algorithm includes the char value of the name, the position of the character, and the number of hash buckets (DD_HASHSIZE). 2) Unless the sysxxx tables in …

Re: Why is rootdbs busy?
While I approve of the DD_HASHSIZE, I'm not so sure about HASHMAX. That limits the dictionary hash chains to only four entries. While that might be OK, it can also indicate a pontential for thrashing. Basically if there are four entries and a table is no longer referenced, the…
