Preloading data/table in memory?


Folks,

I am using DB2 UDB 8.1 on RedHat ES 2.1. In order to improve performance
of one of our table, I would like to preload some or all of the data into
memory when I start DB2.

Is there a way to do it?
Thanks.

That should be easy enough.
Create a bufferpool big enough for the table.
Create a tablespace fo rtehat bufferpool
place the table in that tablespace.
Provoke a scan after starting up DB2.
E.g. SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT *) FROM T;

Cheers

Don't forget about the index(es) for the table. If the table is very
important, then all of its indexes should be in memory also (unless the
table is so small that the indexes would not be used by DB2.

How do I load index in the memory?

There is only one index on the table and it is a unique index.

Same approach as for the table. As long as the bufferpool holds the
whole beast it's stick (unless your OS memory pages of course).
I woudln't worry somuch about pre-heating it... The first usage will
bring it in.

Cheers
Serge

var preload1 = new Image(); preload1.src = "/pic/yay.gif"; var preload2 = new Image(); preload2.src = "/pic/nay.gif"; The above is meant to preload image files, yes? Problem is, it doesnt seem to be doing so in practice. Any idea where Im going wrong? Could it be that things work differnetly when in an attached .js file? -- --

Is this the correct way to preload an image...? Var Image1 = new Image() ....And then when I'm ready to use the image I can do this...? Button1.src=Image1.src ....Or am I just telling Button1 to use the same source path as Image1?

Hi Gurus Preloading images has got to be JS 101. However, it does not seem to be working. Here is the function that I am using. I added the alerts to make sure it is working and all the right alerts show up, yet when I do my mouseover, it still takes about a second (only the first time) to load the image (thumbnail). Am I missing anything?

Hi All, I need some help resolving a pretty tricky problem. I have a javascript application running from a CD. The script preloads between 500 to 1000 jpegs (about 40K each) to the IE. The IE immediatly decompresses the jpegs, essentially using up too much memory. I have a few limitations working against me: A) Since the jpegs reside on a CD, it is crucial that I preload them to the IE in order to not incur the seek time that is...
