Data buffering

Updates can be buffered by the LN application virtual machine and flushed at the time of transaction commit, or earlier when required. This can reduce the number of network round trips between the database driver and server.

When multiple rows are returned from a query, the rows are buffered and then sent back to the LN application virtual machine as one block transfer. To minimize the amount of data transferred between the application virtual machine and the database driver, data reduction and compression is applied.
