Oracle Rdb’s Record Caching Model

Summary: Record-based caching for Oracle Rdb replaces traditional page-level shared memory caching. Improves memory utilization and reduces fetch, write, and lock overhead; 15 caches storing 19.5M records (~7 GB) on an SMP AlphaServer 8400 achieved 14,227 tpmC, demonstrating scalability on SMP hardware.
