I've done a bit of research on MaxDB cache pinning but I am still not clear on a few items. I'm hoping the community can offer some advice.
1. What is the best way to determine which tables to pin? Some of the documentation leads me to believe you should use tables with high reads and low writes, but other documentation mentions high access tables. Is the term "access" referring to a combination of read and writes?
2. Is there a way to determine if a table is currently in the regular cache area versus the pin cache area? If it is already in the regular cache most of the time, it might not be valuable to pin it.
3. How do you determine if pinning was successful? Can you do some before and after testing to make sure the pinning is helpful?
If you can offer any other advice or tips and tricks that would be very helpful.

Steve
