<strong>Buffer</strong> <strong>Pool</strong> Management<br />

<strong>Buffer</strong> pools not used with all data types<br />

You Can Expect More<br />

• LONG VARCHAR, BLOB <strong>and</strong> CLOB retrieved directly from<br />

disk using non-buffered (direct) IO<br />

• Keeping large object pages out of buffer pools helps DB2<br />

maintain effective caching for regular data types<br />

1 GB BLOB 1 GB BP Disk<br />

Without use of direct IO,<br />

large data types would<br />

force DB2 to flush all<br />

resident pages to disk –<br />

ruining the hit rate
