The result cache stores the results of database queries in memory for reuse, improving performance by reducing execution time for repeated queries. There are two types of result caches: the server result cache, which resides in the Shared Global Area (SGA), and the client result cache, located within a client process. Using result caches significantly enhances performance for OLAP applications and queries returning a few rows from […]
