Updating tables versus servicing requests

[Frank Fock]

Hello Ram,

Your approach to cache the values of tables is probably the fastest
(regarding response times) but it will need, of course, more memory
than answering request directly. Whether the caching approach
works for you, mainly depends on the memory available on your
system and the size of your tables.

Best regards,
Frank
