Binary RELATIONSHIPS
N-ary RELATIONSHIPS
The total number of binary or N-ary relationship occurrences.
Total versions of RELATIONSHIPS The total number of all versions of all binary and N-ary relation-
ships. There can be many versions of a relationship.
FIXED LENGTH ATTRIBUTE DATA The total number of 40-byte buffers of attribute data for all entity
and relationship occurrences. To estimate this capacity, use the fol-
lowing guideline: Capacity for fixed length attribute data = (Average
attribute length * Average number of attributes associated to ET and
RT/40) [rounded off to next digit] * (Total versions of all entities +
Total versions of all relationships).
FIXED LENGTH ATTRIBUTE EDIT
DATA
The maximum number of 40-byte buffers for storing additional edit
text data that you expect to have in the dictionary. There is a 40-
byte buffer associated by default with each attribute defined in the
dictionary. This capacity is the total number of additional buffers
needed to store attribute edit text in excess of the default.
VARIABLE LENGTH ATTRIBUTE
DATA
The maximum number of 80-character lines you expect to have in
the dictionary. If you have only one variable length attribute and
that attribute has, on the average, 3 lines of text, and 50 definitions
use this attribute, this capacity should be (3*50), or 150.
SCOPES The total number of scope definitions.
SCOPES/ENTITY The total number of associations between entities and scopes.
SCOPE/RELATIONSHIP associations The total number of associations between relationships and scopes.
SCOPE/DOMAIN associations The total number of associations between domains and scopes.
VERSIONS The total number of version definitions.
VERSION LOGGING The total number of version status changes to be made to all ver-
sions.
