Hi,
I am getting data into a Named pipe. Does Named pipe have any size restriction; I know it does not have any storage and it just passes on the data to the next process.
I want to know, if there will be a difference in the Named pipe performance if the data input is more. (I am using DB2 load utility to load data coming into the Named pipe). For example, assuming that the process taking the data from the Named pipe is very fast (DB2 load),
will the pipe perform better when I get 10,000 records at once than when I get 10,000,00 records at a time.
Do I have an option to create a bigger pipe if I expect a very large volume of incoming data at a time.
I have not used Named pipe before. Please help.
