Hi,

what criteria do you use for selecting the minimum degree for the
BNodes of a BTree?
Is there a simple rule of thumb?

Do I understand correctly, that a smaller minimum degree gives:
-> faster writes
-> slower unpacked db file size growth
-> slower reads

Thus, for frequent writes, and seldom reads, use smaller min degree,
and vice-versa ?

Thanks, mario
