Re: cn=config does not generate DB_CONFIG

[Mike Johnston <mkejohnston@yahoo.com>]

ok, here is my confusion.. 
What's the difference between the following:

olcDbCacheSize:1000 in my hdb.ldif file
  AND 
olcDbConfg: set_cachesize 0 10485760 0 

I added the olcDbConfig and <presto> DB_CONFIG file gets created.
So many thanks for the assistance, just curious as to the differences..
