Documentation Changes for Reference Manual: Procedures

Updates and clarifications to the Reference Manual: Procedures.

dump database and dump transaction

The maximum file path/name size for a physical device is 127 characters. This limitation is not explicitly stated in the "Restrictions" subsection of the "Usage" section of the reference pages for dump database and dump transaction.

The “Data Cache Memory” subsection in the “Usage” section of the reference page for sp_cacheconfig includes a bullet point that states, in part:
  • A data cache requires a small percentage of overhead for structures that manage the cache. All cache overhead is taken from the default data cache.
Since you can configure the default data cache size separately from total memory, the cache overhead is taken from free memory, not the default data cache. For this reason, the bullet should read:
  • A data cache requires a small percentage of overhead for structures that manage the cache. All cache overhead is taken from free memory.

sp_reportstats

In the reference page for sp_reportstats, disregard the following bullet, which no longer applies:


  • sp_reportstats does not report statistics for any process with a system user ID (suid) of 0 or 1. This includes deadlock detection, checkpoint, housekeeper, network, auditing, mirror handlers, and all users with sa_role.
