Manually Setting the Retrieval Buffer Size

Each database has a retrieval buffer setting, in kilobytes, that you can change. The default buffer size is 10 KB for 32-bit platforms and 20 KB for 64-bit platforms. If you are increasing the size of the buffer, Oracle recommends that you do not exceed 100 KB, although the size limit is set at 100,000 KB.

  To manually set the retrieval buffer size, use a tool:

Note:

If an outline does not include Dynamic Calc, Dynamic Times Series, or attribute members, using the VLBREPORT configuration parameter to dynamically determine the size of the retrieval buffer overrides the database retrieval buffer size setting. See Enabling Dynamic Retrieval Buffer Sizing.
