DB_CACHE_SIZE Initialization Parameter (109)

The DB_CACHE_SIZE initialization
parameter has replaced the DB_BLOCK_BUFFERS initialization parameter, which was
used in earlier releases. The DB_CACHE_SIZE parameter specifies the size in bytes of
the cache of standard block size buffers. Thus, to specify a value for DB_CACHE_SIZE,
you would determine the number of buffers that you need and multiple that value
times the block size specified in DB_BLOCK_SIZE.

For backward compatibility, the DB_BLOCK_BUFFERS parameter still functions, but it
remains a static parameter and cannot be combined with any of the dynamic sizing
parameters.
