Ah, I think you missed my point. Hence my suggesting the book.

>I understand what the different buffers are and roughly how they work. I'm weak on which ones to use when. Is there any reason _not_ to use table buffering? I've seen reasons not to use row buffering, but nothing against table buffering. From what I've read in this thread and elswhere, it seems like table buffering is all I need. But if there are reasons not to use it, I'd like to hear them.
