A database server by nature must assume that all data is equally mutable.
An application developer, however, knows by design how fresh any one
piece of data needs to be and can cache accordingly. E.g., don't hit the
database for your site's navigational structure or news articles every

The problem I have with this is where the database DOES change, and not

This isn't a situation that you would use a cached query. You
would only use
it when something doesn't change that often, or you have control
of when it
changes.
Hell, I have stuff like that - it's called generate an include file with a
cron job. Trivial. All
Let the db server handle query/cache consistency ... why put yet another
server in the way that will have to be triggered by the underlying db to
clear ITS cache?
Very true, but tests I've done in the past with PostgreSQL and
MySQL-driven PHP sites show that adding a simple static file cache (for

No, not really. That wouldn't be accessable by all users, which, as it turns
out, is what the OP had asked for.
