#### Database Refresh

This setting controls how often the data in cached reports is refreshed by querying the database.

If the Database Refresh Time has passed since the report was first cached, the Page Server can refresh the data in the cached report the next time a user requests it.

By controlling how often the data in reports is refreshed, you can minimize the impact of client requests on the database. Clients who are allowed to refresh the data themselves may put a large load on the database server. Instead, as the administrator, you can control how often data is refreshed.

Keep in mind that the Report Viewers include a Refresh button by default. If you set a database refresh time, and a client uses the Refresh button in a Report Viewer, the user causes a refresh on the cached report, forcing a request to the database. You may want to turn off the Refresh button. For more information, see Report Viewing tab. If you set the Database Refresh Time to 0, the data is refreshed each time a report is requested.

Also included in this area is a check box that enables you to decide whether or not the database is hit when the user clicks refresh from their web browser.
