About This Content

Audience

This guide is for anyone developing or supporting applications to cache data from an Oracle database in a TimesTen database. Cache operations enable the caching of subsets of an Oracle database into cache tables within a TimesTen database for improved response time in the application tier. Cache tables can be read-only or updatable. Applications read and update the cache tables using standard Structured Query Language (SQL) while data synchronization between the TimesTen database and the Oracle database is performed automatically.
