Use the Create Buffer Pool window to create a new buffer pool.
Note: | The new buffer pool will become active when you restart the database.
Until then, any new tables or table spaces will use the existing buffer
pool. Any changes to a table space that specifies this buffer pool will
continue to use its existing buffer pool until after you restart the
database.
