The RMU Populate_Cache command allows one or more tables and indexes to be read from the database and stored in caches if they exist. Sorted indexes are read top-down, one index level at a time. Hashed indexes are read by sequentially scanning the storage areas containing the hashed indexes and fetching all nodes and the system record from each database page. Data table rows are read by sequentially scanning the storage areas containing the table and fetching all rows of the relation.
