- n
- The maximum number of remote users per database server. The default is
the Maximum Number of Users (
-n) parameter value, divided by the Maximum Number of Servers (-Mn) parameter value.
Use Maximum Clients per Server (-Ma) to
specify the maximum number of remote users per database server. The Maximum Clients per
Server (-Ma), Minimum Clients per Server (-Mi), and Maximum Servers (-Mn)
startup parameters apply only to databases that are accessed from remote network nodes.
In most cases, the default behavior is desirable. Note that the default
calculation is usually high because it assumes that all users are remote users, while the
number specified with -n includes local users. If servers
become overloaded with clients, reset the -Mn parameter to
increase the number of servers.
You can use this parameter to support continuous operation of the database. For more information, see Change database parameters while the database is running.
