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.
ADJUST TABLE CACHE PRIORITY([Big_Records]; Cache priority low) ADJUST TABLE CACHE PRIORITY([Medium_Records]; Cache priority normal) ADJUST TABLE CACHE PRIORITY([Small_records]; Cache priority high) |
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.
