• Key Concepts: 
  Tablespace pool size is a parameter in the SAP DB2 Universal Database for UNIX/NT that defines the maximum amount of memory that can be allocated to a tablespace. It is used to control the amount of memory used by a tablespace and to ensure that the database does not run out of memory. 
  
  How to use it: 
  The tablespace pool size is set in the SAP DB2 Universal Database for UNIX/NT configuration file. The default value is usually set to 8192 MB, but this can be changed depending on the size of the database and the amount of memory available. The tablespace pool size should be set to a value that is large enough to accommodate all of the data in the database, but not so large that it causes performance issues. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  It is important to monitor the tablespace pool size regularly to ensure that it is not too small or too large. If it is too small, then performance issues may occur as the database will not have enough memory to store all of its data. If it is too large, then it may cause performance issues as well as wasting resources.
