This tool helps the DBA detect when the size limit for a storage area is approaching a physical (addressing) limit. The analysis done by the tool provides a conservative view of storage area usage, i.e. there is a built-in safety margin in the reporting. The margin comes from space internal to a storage area that is actually available for the case of deleted and reused record-id's. The downloads below include instructions on how to run the tool and interpret its results. It also includes a white paper, Best Practices For Managing Records-Per-Block Settings , which describes how to set records per block to achieve optimal performance. For more information on size limits for storage areas, see Chapter 3, "OpenEdge RDBMS Limits" in the "OpenEdge Data Management: Database Design" handbook.
