RE: Clearing Buffer Pool

To clear the buffer pool from dirty pages, generate a chackpoint with 'onmode -c' If You mean to remove all pages from it, then it's impossible. ------------------------------------------ Alexey Sonkin > -----Original Message----- > > Does anyone know if there is a way to clear the buffer pool without > bouncing > the engine? sending to informix-list

I do mean to remove all non essential pages from buffers. I would expect that if such a command existed it would leave behind some buffers which would cause integrity problems if removed. I know there is nothing like this in the manuals but figure if there is an undocumented command(similar to onmode -b) people here would know about it.
