I'll try to keep this short, but basically I need to figure out a way to load data in shared memory (this file will be called load.c) I will later access the data with a print.c program.

Hello,

I am running HP-UX B.11.11.
I'm increasing a parameter for a database engine so that it uses more memory to buffer the disk drive (to speed up performance). I have over 5GB of memory not being used.
But when I try to start the DB with the increased buffer parameter I get told.
