SchemaCacheDir property

Applies to
TIB_Connection

Declaration
Property SchemaCacheDir : string;

Description
If this property is set to a valid path then IBO will maintain a local cache of information that will make it so that metadata queries will not have to be performed in order to accomplish certain tasks.

If your network connection is slow then this is a very helpful setting to maintain.

It is possible to use a path as generic as c:\temp because IBO will automatically add the filename of the GDB file as a sub-directory so that all database caches will reside in their own designated directory and not overwrite eachother's files.

If the structure of your database changes it is necessary to just delete the simple text files that are created and the next time the user enters the application IBO will automatically regenerate them. You could also distribute them and place them in the directory for the user as well.
