# CacheExpirationInterval

The number of seconds to keep entries in the codings cache. This parameter applies only when CodifierType is odbc.

Answer Server uses a cache to improve Fact Bank performance when looking up codings. You can use this parameter to ensure that Fact Bank regularly rechecks the database for new and updated entries. When Answer Server finds an entry in the cache that is older than the specified number of seconds, it expires it and reloads it from the database.

You can also optionally set CacheNotFoundExpirationInterval to define a separate expiration time for entries in the cache corresponding to coding values that were not found in the database.

You can also manually reload the codings cache by using the ManageResources action.
