• Key Concepts: 
  Table buffer is a feature of the BC-JAS Java Application Server that allows for the temporary storage of data in memory. This data is stored in a table-like structure and can be accessed quickly and efficiently. The table buffer is used to reduce the amount of time needed to access data from the database, as well as to reduce the amount of data that needs to be transferred between the application server and the database.
  
  How to use it: 
  The table buffer can be used in a variety of ways. It can be used to store frequently accessed data, such as customer information or product details, so that it can be quickly retrieved when needed. It can also be used to store intermediate results from calculations or queries, so that they can be quickly retrieved when needed. Finally, it can be used to store temporary data that is not needed for long-term storage.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using the table buffer, it is important to ensure that the data stored in it is up-to-date and accurate. This can be done by regularly refreshing the data stored in the table buffer or by using a mechanism such as a timestamp to ensure that only the most recent version of the data is retrieved. Additionally, it is important to ensure that the table buffer does not become overloaded with data, as this can lead to performance issues.
  
  Related Information: 
  The table buffer is similar in concept to other caching mechanisms, such as query caches or object caches. Additionally, there are other features of BC-JAS Java Application Server that can help improve performance, such as connection pooling and distributed transactions.
