Operating Condition
Syntax: SET NOTE_PAD
Range: 0 to 100 (percent)
Default: 10
This setting allocates an additional percentage of storage space in NOTE columns to accommodate value increases (additional text), so that rows don't need to move to different disk locations. This increases performance by reducing disk reading.
The default setting is 10% of the row size, and can be set from 0 to 100%. Setting NOTE_PAD to 0% disables padding.
