there needs to be an option to allow indexes and cached
tables to be stored as seperate files.

database.data.tablefoo
database.data.sysindx2

etc.

    I agree. Would allow much more efficient operation
    under cases like:

    some really big read-only CACHED tables, some
    collections of CACHED tables that are updated only
    occasionally, some collections of CACHED tables that
    are updated frequently.

    A one-one mapping is a bit limiting, however. Better to
    allow DDL to assign tables to or transfer them between
    table spaces (cache files or collections of them)

    We'd be better off redesigning the binary file format to
    get close to what innoBD and Oracle do first, however,
    as that is, first and formost, where many of the
    performance limitations lie for CACHED table
    persistence.

    BTW:

    You can get much the same effect with TEXT tables,
    excpet that TEXT table indexes are built and maintained
    100% in-memory, so they do impose a limitation that
    CACHED tables do not (CACHED table index structures
    are persisted on disk as well as their row data).

    It would be very good to configure separate files for CACHED
    tables. But data and indexes could go into same file.

    Now, it would be possible to transfer table from one machine
    to another installation by replacing the file only (+copy
    rowindicator from top of .script file). Currently, cached tables
    cannot be moved with copypaste.

    Regular tabledata is possible to copypaste from .script file.

    see, this is an example of how ideas just pop up which this
    would help.
