I misunderstood the original question -- I think that the use case of long-term reaping of obsolete entries is much more relevant than short-term cache expiration. So my comments were mostly off the mark. This is indeed often done with Oracle DBs too, with rolling weekly/monthly partitions and other constructs. So I actually agree in that mechanisms for supporting that would be useful, now that I understand the request. :-) -+ Tatu +-
