This make me think twice about it.

The parameter should be only one byte, so 255 is the maximum value. It's ok. So, this will be the cache used for each connection, not the database_cache _pages defined at the server. I think the confusion that starts here because of the default value of this parameter on the server, that it's also 75.

I'm a little bit confuse about this. Does someone explain this parameter to me better? Maybe we should go to the ib-support for discussing this?

I already checked the IB Manual and I'm quite shure that the length for this parameter should 1, so 255 it's the limit. The server will increase the buffers only if this value will be higher. But, we can use a higher value on IBCONFIG file on the server.

I think this is related with the cache used by each connection, not the DATABASE_CACHE_PAGES defined in the server. In my opinion, this is something related with the cache that the server keeps for working with the conection. So, it makes sense to keep that value in the client side.

Am I wrong?

Frank,

That sounds acceptable to me. Feel free to make the simple changes and email
me privately the changed file so I can merge it into the sources?

Thanks,
