Creating a buffer pool for a partitioned database

Graphic denoting partitioned database environments appears here. Use the Create Buffer Pool window to create a new buffer pool.
Note:The new buffer pool will become active when you restart the database. Until then, any new tables or table spaces will use the existing buffer pool. Any changes to a table space that specifies this buffer pool will continue to use its existing buffer pool until after you restart the database.
