Database cache size specified every time. When create a new database the
cache size come from DefaultDbCachePages. I tried now gfix.exe OPHHA
-buffers 0 and the cache size set to DefaultDbCachePages. If cache size
now 2049 and try set to 0 with gfix the new value in database is 2048.
The name of the option (DefaultDbCachePages) is godd for me. This is the
default cache size in newly created databases. But the description in
firebird.conf say diferrent things or I have problems with English. ;-)
