>I saw a thread here just recently, but can't find it at the moment. Someone questioned the use of Row Buffereing (RB) over Table Buffering (TB). I was under the impression the RB was the preferred way and TB was used more when you were doing maintenance, etc. I thought the idea was that you only updated what you needed to update and that using TB was superfluous for the most part. Could someone give me a definative response as to when to use either RB or TB and why? Thanks!

IMO, there is never _ever_ a good time to use row buffering in an application. Row buffering takes the control of when updates happen away from the developer, and Table buffering assures that updates happen only when you issue TABLEUPDATE.
