Block (DirectConnect and Adaptive Server Enterprise) database parameter
Description
Specifies the internal blocking factor used by the Sybase
Client Library (CT–Lib) interface when declaring a cursor.
The blocking factor determines the number of rows fetched from the
database at one time when CT-Lib makes a physical request for data.
The Block DBParm parameter applies only to declared cursors
and not to DataWindow objects.
