What is Oracle In-Memory Database Cache?
Oracle In-Memory Database Cache is a database option that provides real-time, updatable caching for the Oracle database. Oracle In-Memory Database Cache improves application transaction response time by caching a performance-critical subset of tables and table fragments from an Oracle database to the application tier. Cache tables are managed like regular relational database tables within the TimesTen In-Memory Database. Thus, Oracle In-Memory Database Cache offers applications the full generality and functionality of a relational database, the transparent maintenance of cache consistency with the Oracle Database, and the real-time performance of an in-memory database. This Database option is ideal for caching performance-critical subsets of an Oracle database for improved response time in the application tier. To achieve high availability, Oracle In-Memory Database Cache can be deployed using an active-standby configuration, where cache tables are replicated in real-time between the O
