    <p>I have read <a href="http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/gc-tuning-6-140523.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this article</a> about virtual machine garbage collection tuning to understand the java garbage collector better. Each space has a <em>Virtual</em> heap space area which it can grow into as the heap space needed gets closer to the max heap size. This can be seen in this picture: <a href="http://www.oracle.com/ocom/groups/public/@otn/documents/digitalasset/190244.gif" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Java GC arrangement of generations http://www.oracle.com/ocom/groups/public/@otn/documents/digitalasset/190244.gif</a></p> <p>You can set the ratio between <em>Young Generation</em> and <em>Old (Tenured) Generation</em> with the <strong>NewRatio</strong> parameter, and the ratio between <em>Eden Space</em> and <em>Survivor Space</em> with the <strong>SurvivorRatio</strong> parameter.</p> <p>Recently <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/15413783/standard-allocation-ratio-for-java-heap">this question</a> was asked about finding out the default ratios for the heap spaces. It says you should use the <strong>PrintGCDetails</strong> parameter and calculate the ratios manually.</p> <p>My question is: Does the size of the different heap spaces increase by the same ratio, thus keeping the ratio set between them at startup constant during the whole runtime of the application? For example, if Young Generation and Old/Tenured Generation has a default NewRatio of 3, and the initial reserved heap space is 100MB for Young, and 300MB for Old. If more memory needs to be reserved for the Old Space, lets say 300MB more making it 600MB total. Does memory reserved for Young Space also double to 200MB keeping the ratio intact? </p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
