Re: Secret maximum for INITRANS?

Nice to know the actual strategy.

I came across an oddity some time ago
when trying to work this one out by setting silly values for INITRANS. This would be (correctly) ignored on a 'create index', and then obeyed on a 'rebuild index' with the result that the index got bigger. I think it was 8.1.5 - it doesn't reproduce in 8.1.7.3

|And yes.. There is an upper bound for number of ITLs based on the
block

|The transaction slots (and other headers) can not use the more than
50% of

bytes of
