Preceding Vs Resident Load

Hi

Can someone explain exact difference between preceding and resident load with example.

Like in which scenario we should use resident and in which preceding.

Thanks,

Villyee

they are similar in that you loading data you have in memory once more but preceding load is in most cases faster.
check below

also the code is much cleaner.

so basically use preceding load when you can.

note- there are other uses for resident load e.g. you load your table but you want a subset (columns/rows) in another table

you are loading table A with 5 columns. you want to check the value of a column and add flags as new columns.
you should use preceding load.

as i mentioned before
resident load e.g. you load your table but you want a subset (columns/rows) in another table
