Optimizing for Typical Usage

Set the USER_RESOURCE_RESERVATION option to adjust memory use for the number of current users.

Sybase IQ tracks the number of open cursors and allocates memory accordingly. In certain circumstances, USER_RESOURCE_RESERVATION option can be set to adjust the minimum number of current cursors that Sybase IQ thinks is currently using the product and hence allocate memory from the temporary cache more sparingly.

This option should only be set after careful analysis shows it is actually required. Contact Sybase Technical Support with details if you need to set this option.
