Teradata Vantage™

Determines the amount of cache (in megabytes) allocated for DBQL Data Dictionary tables that have LOB columns. This field also determines the size of the express message used to flush this cache.

Teradata recommends leaving this field set to the default value.

Field Group

Valid Range

2 through 16 MB

Default

2 MB

Usage Notes

Increasing the cache size allows larger requests to be captured by DBQL, and reduces the number of cache flushes. However, it will increase the express request message size when flushing the cache.
