Caching Data
Caching Data
Caching data provides several benefits, including faster access to data and reducing the number of API calls, which improve performance. The connector supports a simple caching model where multiple connections can also share the cache over time. You can enable and configure caching features by setting the necessary connection properties.
Contents
The sections in this chapter detail the component's caching functionality and link to the corresponding connection properties, as well as SQL statements.
