Documentation

Definition

The buffering status specifies whether or not a table may be buffered.

This depends on how the table is used, for example on the expected volume of data in the table or on the type of access to a table. (mainly read or mainly write access to the table. In the latter case, for example, one would not select buffering).

You should therefore select
- Buffering not allowed if a table may not be buffered.
- Buffering allowed but not activated if buffering is
principally allowed for a table, but at the moment no buffering
should be active. The
buffering type specified in this case is only
a suggestion.
- Buffering allowed if the table should be buffered. In this
case a buffering type
must be specified.
