Well, perhaps I'm missing something, but if the statement for which I'm caching
results was something like
SELECT * FROM tableName WHERE columnName = zzz;
I'd only want to clear the results cache when statements like:
UPDATE tableName set columnName = xxx where id=yyy;
were processed. I'd specifically *not* want to clear the results-cache for the
above statement when I got:
UPDATE tableName set otherColumnName = xxx where id = yyy;
...because changing values in the column 'otherColumnName' can't affect the
results-list for a query only dependent on the column 'columnName'.
And I think the READ action would give me all the columns (because * was
selected) when processing the SELECT statement. In order to cross-match the
columns-for-the-select-statement and the columns-for-the-update, I need to know
only the columns in the criteria part of the SELECT statement, not those used
by any clause in the SELECT.

Well, I actually know the columns being updated at the update-stage already.
What I don't know is the set of columns that correspond to the criteria part of
the query statement for which I'm caching results. The update-hook doesn't
really help anyway (for this, I'm planning on using it for other stuff later
[grin]) because it only provides the {database|table|row-id} information, not
the columns-within-the-update statement.
Cheers
