Buffering Type 

In the table maintenance function of the Java Dictionary, you can define the buffering type for the table under the tab Technical Settings.

The buffering type defines which table records are loaded into the buffer when a table record is accessed. You can specify the following buffering types:

●      Full Buffering (0): When a table record is accessed, all the records of the table are loaded into the buffer.

To use full buffering, you must have defined a primary key of the table.

●      Generic Buffering (1):  When a table record is accessed, all the records that match this record in their generic key fields (left part of the table key, identified by specifying a number of key fields) are loaded into the buffer.

The Generic Area Buffered option is provided in the input help only if you have selected the required key fields in the table.

●      Single-Record Buffering (2): Only the records of a table that are really accessed are loaded into the buffer.
