Kevin,

The parameter in the config file works if the database has page buffers
=0 (in other words "use the default").

If defined in the database it overrides the config default option.

Since you use CS, each user has it's own cache, and since your database
has a page buffers defined as 1000 each user has a cache of 1000 * 4096
all users will be 1000 * 4096 * 20.

see you !
