The server-side configuration parameters define various performance, memory and disk usage, and other characteristics of the solidDB server. Generally, the factory value settings offer the best performance and operability, but in some special cases modifying a parameter might improve performance.

Most parameters in most sections apply to all solidDB components. The following sections apply to a subset of components:

The descriptions of a some parameters specify that those parameters (or some specific settings of those parameters) apply only to a particular component. Each exception is documented in the description of the parameter itself.
