RE: Application Server Caching

[Paula_Stankus]

Obviously.  The issue has been whether or not Oracle's data caching worked well - and was read for prime-time in earlier versions.  -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of Ryan Sent: Wednesday, January 14, 2004 5:14 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Subject: Application Server Caching I heard a presentation from a front end performance analyst last night from www.tangasol.com (im not associated with them at all). He was pretty impressive.   He argued that accessing the database is expensive. He also argued in favor of caching data at the application server level. Have any of you worked with this? What are your opinions? His opinion was that people go back to the database to ask the same question way too often and cause a botteneck, if you can cache these frequently asked questions at the front end, it will significantly scale better.
