• Key Concepts: 
  Metadata cache is a feature of OPU-DUE Duet Enterprise that stores information about the structure of the data in a database. This information includes the names of tables, columns, and other objects, as well as their properties. The metadata cache is used to improve the performance of queries by reducing the amount of time needed to access the data.
  
  How to use it: 
  The metadata cache is automatically updated when changes are made to the database structure. It can also be manually updated by running a query against the database. This query will retrieve the latest information about the structure of the data and store it in the metadata cache.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  It is important to keep the metadata cache up-to-date in order to ensure that queries are running efficiently. If changes are made to the database structure, it is recommended that you manually update the metadata cache in order to ensure that queries are running optimally.
