Storing Data

To start working with data, you first have to copy it from the database. When your procedure copies data from a database, Progress stores that data in memory. When you request any data from a database record, Progress places a copy of the entire database record in a buffer. For each table that you work with, Progress creates and maintains a separate record buffer. Data visible on screen is also stored in memory. As with record buffers, Progress maintains screen buffers for you.
