User bio

I first encountered Cache in 2008, having to debug and fix an application written by someone else, in this obscure and unfamiliar language and storage structure, in a time sensitive situation with the business looming over my shoulder. 

Having fixed that, I've been supporting, developing, upgrading and maintaining systems on Cache and now mostly Iris ever since.

The title of this article is somewhat misleading. 

As the first line states, it doesn't, then tells you how to do it without mirroring.

Which is all well and good, and correct information as best I understand it, although option one does introduce a single point of failure should the NAS be unavailable. But the title just doesn't match the content.

Disappointing really as I'd love mirroring to be able to sync non DB files, or just file as we normally call them, because it doesn't mirror database files either, it mirrors database content. 

I've been using Cache/IRIS for nearly 20 years, and I didn't notice when they snuck in the SELECT JSON_OBJECT() function. That's going to start getting a lot more use now I know it exists! 

Another really useful feature is the ability to access fields across relationships using the -> operator. This saves all the time and effort of writing join statements if table relationships are in place. 

Cheers
