Hi Laxman,

Buffer is temporary storage location on Application server.

For ex: you read table MARA records in ur program, first time this data will be read from database, and a copy will be buffered in application server.

next time if you need same data the program will fetch it from Application server it self, rather going to Database server.

The main aim here is lessening the load on DATABASE Server, as it is a centralized and many appplication servers will be accessing.

Hi

Buffer is a temporary storage location.The use of buffer is fast access of data only.Instead of going to database if the frequently data's are buffered we can save a lot of time, because retrieve data from database is always time consuming.While creating table in SE11 you can set buffer also.Goto technical setting, there you can see all the setting like whether buffer is required or not and also which type is buffer required etc..There you can see three types of bufferings,

1.single

2 Generic and

3.Full buffering...Click each function and press F1 you can see the detailed documentation and usage of this three buffers...
