Controlling database size

Databases whose size is monitored and minimized show increased performance: database operations require less I/O and fewer CPU resources; view rebuilding and updating is quicker; and memory and disk space allocation is improved.

For databases at ODS 53 or higher, the maximum database size is 256GB on Microsoft™ Windows™ and UNIX™. Otherwise, the maximum size is 64GB.
