Tech Tip: When to Adjust Cache Priority
PRODUCT: 4D | VERSION: 20 | PLATFORM: Mac & Win
Published On: August 12, 2024
The commands ADJUST TABLE CACHE PRIORITY and SET TABLE CACHE PRIORITY can be used to modify the priority of tables in a 4D Server. A general rule of thumb that can improve the performance of a server is to give large or infrequently used records a low priority and to give small or frequently used records a high priority.
Experimenting with cache priority can help improve server performance. However, these functions should still be used cautiously and often the automatic cache priority set by 4D will work fine.
