Enlarging the Media Database

Occasionally, it might be necessary to increase the size of the Media Database (MDB). This situation arises if one of the Media Database components (index or data) is almost at maximum capacity, or if extensive additions to the Media Database must be made in the near future.

The user has two options for enlarging the Media Database:

• Reallocate the current extent by increasing the number of blocks or the block size.
• Define a new Media Database extent.
