With in the initialization parameters used in the the Symantec DLP database template, there is a parameter called db_file_multiblock_read_count. What is this and what is the recommended setting?
The db_file_multiblock_read_count is the maximum number of blocks read during an I/O operation involving a full sequential scan. The value is listed in kilobytes. So, a value of 32 would be 32K and implies thatreferences to the dbf files would be in 4 block gulps. This means really high physical
read counts.
The recommended size for Symantec DLP is 16k or 16.
