Cache data question / opinion

2010-12-07 Thread Dave Maharaj
Just public opinion question here. When you cache data I'm wondering when is
not worth cache'ing if it's just a small bit of data to grab from the db. 

 

For example this is a small cached file I have:

1294435116

a:1:{s:8:Groupset;a:6:{s:2:id;s:1:9;s:5:group;s:16:Operations;s:4:
name;s:21:Team
Unit;s:4:slug;s:7:team_unit;s:9:masters;s:1:1;s:4:indi;s:1:1;}}

 

Now looking at it I'm wondering is it even worth Caching? Does the process
to check if its cached /if so if not do this that read  write or get, is
that more demand that would be to simply just go get it with such a small
bit of data.

 

I have full large sets of data with joins / contains that are well worth
caching since they get viewed over and over so that's a sure winner, but
these small tid bits got me wondering here.

 

Thanks,

 

Dave

Cache anything that shouldn't be dynamic (example pagination is
dynamic, or user data).

I have some cached files that just represent a number, example:
1234345

Instead of querying the database how many users I have, just cache the
number every 24 hours.
