Hello,
Is the query_cache a cache for *exact* queries -- exactness here
refers to as determined by the query plan. Or is it word for word?
It is word for word, and is case sensitive.
Query in question, SELECT * FROM tbl WHERE ... LIMIT 100;
as opposed to SELECT * FROM tbl WHERE ... LIMIT 10
Apparently, it seems that the second query is different than the first
one for MySQL's query cacher.
Of course.
Is MySQL able to determine smaller
subsets of a larger result set in terms of a query cache?
No
I'm not sure if this is by design or a feature not yet implemented?
This is by design because the cache looks up the sql command and if it
finds it in the query cache, it returns the same result set from the cache.
It does not even interpret or break down the SQL commands. It is a simple
lookup into the query cache using the SQL statement. So you can't change
any part of the query and still expect to retrieve the same results from
the cache.
