Caching is a mechanism that allows a database client to transfer larger sets of data to and from a database server than it could normally transfer at one time. Instead of sending one row, a client can send n rows all at once. A client can also receive n rows at once, effectively reducing the number of server round trips from n to one.
DBTools.h++ supports the caching of data on the client side for both sending data to a database server, and receiving data from it. Since network traffic is one of the biggest overheads incurred by a client/server application, using the caching features of DBTools.h++ can dramatically reduce network traffic and increase application performance.
NOTE: Although caching can significantly increase application performance, please see your access library guide for vendor-specific restrictions.
