If the Referencing clause is specified, the Alter Cache statement drops the existing cache and any referenced caches and creates a new set of related caches, one for each of the tables specified in the statement. The cache attributes for the existing cache are the default cache attributes for the new relational cache. Any attributes specified in the Alter Cache statement override the default attributes. If the Referencing clause is not specified, the existing cache references, if any, are used.
If the cache being altered is a relational cache, the attributes specified in the Alter Cache statement apply to all of the caches that comprise the relational cache.
