Btrieve Interview Question:

Suppose after upgrading to NetWare v3.11 and the NetWare Btrieve NLM v5.15, Btrieve is running slower than expected. What are the factors and how to fix them?

The following are the factors

- The page sizes of Btrieve are set to 1024 and 512 bytes

- All the workstations are configured with IPX v2.15

- The disk block size was set to a size apart from default 4k block size

- These factors cause a minor Btrieve performance degradation.

The following are the combination of factors to improve performance.

- Rebuild the file size of Btrieve with a page size of 4096 bytes

- Upgrade IPX to v3.10

- Recreate all the volumes block size with 4k
