Hi, Mary Jo, and thanks for the info! I checked the cf docs (haven't use cachedWithin before) and it certainly is easy to use.
However, I didn't see anything addressing the cache refresh after any writes. I assume you mean I could just have a select query set up to run on the same page after a write query, without actually outputting any info to refresh the cache? Would that be correct?
