You do not have to set a value for the DB_CACHE_SIZE
initialization parameter if you use automatic memory management. The setting for the DB_CACHE_SIZE
parameter determines the size of the buffer cache. This buffer cache stores metadata blocks. The default value for this parameter is suitable for most environments.
