Re: [Handle-info] database

Hi Steve,

The cache.jdb file is only used for caching and is therefore more  
lightweight than a regular handle database.  It is also deleted and  
reinitialized every time you start the handle server so I don't think  
it would help much to replace it.  Handle caches also don't use the  
same storage plug-in mechanism as the server database.

The alternative to using the cache.jdb file is to force the server to  
use an in-memory cache.  You might be able to do this by restricting  
permissions on the cache.jdb file so that the server cannot delete or  
read it.

Thanks,
Sean
