Product: SQL Prompt
Version: 3.9
SQL Prompt stores information about the structure of databases in cache files. Using cache files speeds up performance when SQL Prompt retrieves information about a database.
SQL Prompt creates a cache file for each database that you use. The cache files are encrypted and stored in your local settings on your computer; SQL Prompt can read only the cache files that were created by your Windows® user.
If the structure of databases has been modified, for example if a table has been added to the database, you can refresh the cache files so that the changes are shown in the candidate list. SQL Prompt updates the cache files ready for you to use immediately.
To refresh the cache file for the database you are using in your query editor, on the SQL Prompt menu, click Refresh Cache, or press CTRL+SHIFT+D.
For more information about managing the cache, see Managing the SQL Prompt cache.
