How do you decide on optimum values for CI, FREESPACE etc...?..

Answer / guest

processing. Usually CI is 4K. If record length is
larger(>1K), chose 6K or 8K. FREESPACE should be large if
more number of insertions are envisaged. Usual values are
(20 2 when heavy updates are expected. CI size can be
calculated.
