Could someone explain, Caching.
I understand Caching as simply saving a copy of something that is unlikely
to change and to which you frequently refer as opposed to retrieving a fresh
copy every time... like throwing something into Application["myValue"] in
ASP3. Now that Iam all "up to date" everyone wants to Cache everything
because its "good shit!".
How is Cached data any different than data you place in a globally accesible
variable?
p.s.: don't refer me to the BOL as I want an unbiased explanation from real
people who really use/don't use caching 6 1555
Ok, let me try, answer you question, you store in caching, the data that
maybe some time will change, but it's pretty static, and/or data that comes
from an external source that is very expensive to go each time and look for
the data.

Bela,
Thanks for the try, but...
I think I understand that. But how is this any different than putting
something in Application["myValue"] for a web app or into a member variable
of a class... as I asked originally?

The difference is the Cache has a Timeout and expires, and the Application
variable lives for all the application live. In the Application variable you
go for the value every time you want, the Cache objects notifies you when the
Cache expired, and you can go for the new data only in that moment.

OK. But can't this Cache get expensive itself. How do you (I mean you
specificall) decide when to Cache as opposed to using variables. Also I am
assuming that in most instances we are talking about database lookups or
authentication information.

Kevin,
I use static classes for this, however AFAIK acts it the same in ASPNET.
Your globally placed variable will be set automatically to null (released)
when a page is sent.
Be aware that the cache and a static class in aspnet belongs to all active
clients (sessions) and will be removed if there are no sessions more active.
I use it is by instance to set ConnectionStrin gs, data that is not needed
for update.
To store data between sent you have 4 opportunities
viewstates, witch is sent and received every time to/from the client
sessions, which belongs to the client
static classes and caching, which belongs to the complete application and
therefore to all active sessions (without to separate them if you don't do
that).
I hope this was an answer on your question
Cor
You are right I use the Cache for Authentication and expensive DB lookups. In
the .NET framework 2.0 we will have an option to link the Cache to a DB
table, and the System will be the responsible to expire the Cache when the
table changes.

(ASP.Net 1.1) is it possible to (programmatically and globally)

anything in 1.1?

All,
I've recently upgraded our production ASP.NET/C# application from
framework 1.1 to 2.0. Since then I've been plagued by out-of-memory
errors and problems with the cache object (which may simply be a result
of being out of memory.)
We're running on IIS 5.1 on a single Windows 2000 server. We have a
separate database server - SQL Server 2000 64 bit. Session state is
stored on the database.

My site is a bit slow showing the main page so I thought caching query
result in PHP will improve performace.
Then I read MySQL documentation and saw that MySQL does have a caching
feature.
So... now I dont know if doing the PHP caching is worth the pain.
Would there be any noticed performace improvement if I cache query
results in PHP, considering that MySQL is already caching the queries?
Thanks
