MAX SORT MEMORY

This CONFIG option sets the maximum memory allowed for SORT and INDEX operations (in megabytes). This is a BRconfig.sys statement.

Syntax

MAX_SORT_MEMORY <integer> MB

Description

Specifies the maximum number of megabytes BR should use for sorting and indexing.

• Default: 8 MB
• Allowed range: 2–512 MB

Example

CONFIG MAX_SORT_MEMORY 512 MB

Notes

• The ``MB`` suffix is required after the integer value.
• This setting is a balance between CPU / Hard Disk Speed and available memory.
• Do not assume that bigger is better.
• 64 MB may be the sweet spot for your system.
