Hi:
I have a 18Gb database running on a 12 processor Sequent box. We have 754 Mb memory. What is the general thumb rule for memory/Gb of database? Can I assume that as long as we don't page excessively and disk sorts are minimal, our memory utilization is good and we don't need more?
thanks a lot,

p.s: I know that this question does not have an accurate numeric answer. What I am looking for is a range. Received on Mon Apr 22 1996 - 00:00:00 CEST
