Another use is for application "temp" tables. By this I mean: in some
instances (namely Peoplesoft apps), applications dump rows in
intermediate tables with a userid on each row. These rows live
for the duration of the transaction and are deleted at the end
or by some background mechanism. Once used by a given transaction,
the rows are essentialy useless for anyone else. It is therefore
desirable that they use the least possible resources. RECYCLE is
the correct cache for those tables.
Yes we all know about temporary tables. But does Peoplesoft
know about them?
