Hi, In the absence of query caching AND NOT WANTING TO FORCE THE APPLICATION TO DO SO EXPLICITLY, I'm looking for ideas as to how I should future-safe the design of some custom user base types and functions thereon. Specifically, I have several computationally expensive functions that derive

PostgreSQL hits the disk on UPDATE/DELETE/INSERT operations. SELECT's are cached, but the default cache is only ½MB of RAM. You can change this to whatever you want. I'm using Cold Fusion and it can cache queries itself, so no database action is necessary. But I don't think PHP and others

(Incidentally, we've toyed around with developping a query-caching system that would sit betwen PostgreSQL and our DB libraries. Sounds amazing, but requires some research, I guess. However, in many cases one would be more than happy with cahced connections. Of course,
