Wanted: DB cache
December 9th, 2002
I'm on the lookout for a DB cache: if I have one JVM that's running to update a DB (and I can guarantee it's the only client of the DB at that moment), it should be possible to have a in-JVM cache for the DB: have several inserts and updates, and have selects that can take these writes in account. Once in a while, the cache is flushed. The cache would be the interface we talk to, and it delegates stuff to the real DB as necessary. Am I the first one with this itch?
Update: looking into JCS (gotta love Apache) and JSR 107 (which seems like a work in progress).
