SAP liveCache Technology is an object-based enhancement of the SAP MaxDB database system and was developed to manage complex objects (e.g. in logistical solutions such as SAP SCM/APO). Unlike SAP MaxDB, an optimally configured SAP liveCache database has all data that the database system needs to access located in the working memory.
Note
You can only use SAP liveCache Technology with SAP applications.
