Database Details Page

The Database Details page displays detailed information about any database. To access this information from the Management Portal:

  1. Display the Databases page (System Operation > Databases).

  2. Click the name of the database for which you would like to see more details.

Along the top of the Database Details page is a row of buttons, which allow you to perform various database operations:

  • Mount / Dismount — Mount or dismount a database. The new status remains in effect until you explicitly change it or restart/stop InterSystems IRIS; to permanently dismount a database, you must remove it from the configuration.

  • Compact — Move free space distributed throughout a database to its end.

  • Truncate — Return free space at the end of a database to the underlying file system.

  • Defragment — Relocate global blocks so that the blocks representing a given global are in continuous sequence.

The page also includes information specific to the selected database, which is organized into a General Information table and a Database Size table:
