Use Client Database-Request Statement Cache Size (-clstmtCacheSize) to
specify the size of the client statement cache. If the database-request statement
information for a client exceeds the specified value, the informaiton is stored in a
temporary file.

| Database Server | 30,000 | 256 | N/A | 256 |
For optimal performance, set the client statement cache size value high enough to not trigger
the creation of a temporary file. You can set the value to the maximum of 30,000,
but if you have concerns about reserving so much shared memory, set it to a lower
value.
Note: You do not receive a notification if the
client statement cache has been exceeded. The only indicator is a temporary
appearing in your specified directory that is deleted when the session
ends.
