[HACKERS] pl/pgsql function result cache
I was thinking about pl/pgsql and comparing it with pl/sql function result cache, featured in Oracle 11g - see http://www.oracle.com/technology/oramag/oracle/07-sep/o57plsql.html Is it possible to get pl/pgsql function result cache functionality into PostgreSQL real soon?

Well it's unlikely to be real soon since 8.3 is currently approaching beta-test. Surely memcached+pgmemcache does basically this anyway, except: - it's not restricted to function outputs - you can cache application objects - you can spread your cache across multiple machines -- Richard Huxton Archonet Ltd ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 1: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly

Richard, Surely memcached+pgmemcache does basically this anyway, except: - it's not restricted to function outputs - you can cache application objects - you can spread your cache across multiple machines Sure, but using memcached is far from automatic ... you'd have to roll your own scheme for caching previously called functions, and there would be no way to make it performant for iterative execution due to needing to make a pgmemcached call to check for cached results with each execution. -- Josh Berkus PostgreSQL @ Sun San Francisco ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 4: Have you searched our list archives? http://archives.postgresql.org
