Rules for binding

The following rules govern cache bindings:

You can bind objects only to an active cache.
You can bind a database or database object to only one cache.
You can bind a database to one cache and bind individual tables or indexes in the database to other caches.
You can bind an index and the table it references to different caches.
You cannot bind the master database, the system tables in master, or the indexes on the system tables in master to a named cache. However, you can bind nonsystem tables in master and their indexes.
If you bind a database to a cache and do not bind its objects, Adaptive Server treats the objects as if they were bound to the database cache.
If you bind neither a database nor its objects to a cache, Adaptive Server uses the default cache for their reads.
When you delete a database, table, or index, Adaptive Server deletes all of the associated cache bindings.
