17   Database Tuning
Back to TOC

A number of parameters affect the performance behaviour and scalability of the cego database system. In the following these parameters are explained in more detail and how to set them up in an appropriate way. Since the change of the parameters is a sophisticated ( and critical ) task, a native database user or admin should not change it.

Some of the parameters have to set up at compile time and so they are constants within the executable cego program. To change the parameter value, you have to do a recompilation of the source code. The second set of paramters can be set up in the database xml configuration file. Both kind of parameters are described now.

17.1   Incompile parameters

All incompile tuning parameters are located in the source code header file CegoDefs.h. To change any of the parameters, you have to edit the header file and make a complete recompilation of the code.
