System administrationThese topics contain concepts, procedures, and reference information for database and database server administrators to use for managing and tuning HCL OneDB™ database servers.
Administrator's ReferenceThe HCL OneDB™ Administrator's Reference includes comprehensive descriptions of HCL OneDB™ configuration parameters, the system-monitoring interface (SMI) tables in the sysmaster database, the syntax of database server utilities such as onmode and onstat, logical-log records, disk structures, event alarms, and unnumbered error messages.

Extent size doubling

For permanent tables or user-defined temporary tables, the size of the next extent for every allocation is automatically doubled. The size doubles up to 128 kilobytes (KB). For example, if you create a table with the NEXT SIZE equal to 15 KB, the database server allocates the first extent at a size of 15 KB. The next extent is allocated at 30 KB, and the extent after that is allocated at 60 KB. When the extent size reaches 128 KB, the size is doubled only when the remaining space in the table is less than 10% of the total allocated space in the table.

For system-created temporary tables, the next-extent size begins to double after 4 extents have been added.
