Hi! I have already looked into the posts regarding this topic. But still am not clear of how can we find the following values in calculating the record size for AIX

I need to know how can I find CI, CA and n in the following formula

RECORDSIZE = (RECSZ MAXLRECL) where

MAXLRECL = CI/CA * (CISZ - 10)

RECSZ = 5 + AIXKL + (n*BCKL)

Thanks,
MY

BCKL is Base Cluster Key Length -- the length of your primary key.
AIXKL is the length of the alternate index key.
n is the number of duplicates you can have for a single primary key (1 if duplicates are not allowed)

Thanks both. So now it looks like n come by either by knowing or by guessing.. Ok.

BASE: KEYS (48 0)
AIX : KEYS (4 32)

and both have CISZ (8192) and CYL (1 1))

I calculated my RECSZ as 5 + 4 + (2000 * 48) = 96009

Can I give RECORDSIZE (96009 96009) in AIX defiinition?

Record size for the alternate index definition can be anything up to the limit (n in the formula cannot exceed 32767).
