Size of the proxy databases

When Adaptive Server creates a proxy database, it checks the number of tables and views in the primary database and calculates the amount of space required to accommodate the same number of proxy tables in the proxy database. Each proxy table requires eight pages (one extent). Each index on a proxy table also requires eight pages. Adaptive Server also adds either an additional 10 percent or 500 pages—whichever is larger—to the database to allow for table growth.

As a result, the size of the proxy databases depends on the number of tables and views in the primary database. Proxy databases do not have a default size; the minimum size is at least the size of the model database.
