Binding objects to a cache

Binding a cache to a database automatically binds it to all the objects in the database. Adding a cache increases the query performance of the database.

You can bind databases, indexes, or tables to a named data cache. Binding an object to a cache allows you to specify where recent reads from an object are held in memory and to take advantage of cache buffer pools that allow larger I/Os than the default. When you bind an object to a cache:

Adaptive Server clears any pages for the object currently in memory.
Adaptive Server reads pages for the object into the bound cache when subsequent queries need them.

Cache bindings take effect immediately. You do not need to restart Adaptive Server.

Privileges

Only a system administrator can bind and unbind objects to a cache.
