QUESTION:
When would I need to delete the .cch files used by the Connectivity Kits?


ANSWER:
Cache files are used to store table definition on disk in order to speed up the process of getting information on the table structure before opening it.

Normally, the cache files will automatically be regenerated when the Connectivity Kit (CK) detects that they are outdated. However, if the tables are maintained without using the Connectivity Kit, the cache files can get outdated and, in this case, the Connectivity Kit may not be aware they need to be regenerated. If this happens, you could experience errors when trying to open those tables through the CK and deleting the .CCH files is necessary.

Sometimes, even changing the build of the Connectivity Kit being used may require the deletion of the old cache files.


For more information, refer to the Connectivity Kit User's Guide.
