Help, I've added another 128MB of ram to our HP/UX system running Informix 5.03. I have a total of 384MB and a buffer size of 3,000 buffers and 10MB total of shared memory for Informix. I was going to bump this to 27MB of shared memory, with buffers going up to 10,000. Question: Is this a good thing to do and what are the tradeoffs? Thanks, Michael Mstowski msm@spaceworks.com
