Saving retrieved rows to disk

If you want to maximize the amount of memory available to DataWindow Designer and other running applications, DataWindow Designer can save retrieved data on your hard disk in a temporary file rather than keep the data in memory. DataWindow Designer swaps rows of data from the temporary file into memory as needed to display data.

StepsTo maximize available memory by saving retrieved rows to disk:

  1. Select Rows>Retrieve Options>Rows to Disk from the menu bar.

    With this setting, when displaying data, DataWindow Designer swaps rows of data from the temporary file into memory instead of keeping all the retrieved rows of data in memory.
