Do the queries i.e. sql.get_skin(username='default') cache only for that given set of inputs? Or do they cache regardless of the inputs? Because we have seen some evidence that the result returned doesn't always change even when the username does and it _should_ have to go look it up again.
IIRC from earlier investigations and presentations from Jim et al the cacheing data structure is keyed on the rendered string of SQL that is sent to the RDBMS. There are probably some zany dynamic SQL queries that could render the same query string for different input values. If the rendered string is different then the expected behavior is that the cache would miss causing Zope to reissue the query to the RDBMS.
Yup, caching is keyed on the arguments. -- Martijn Pieters, Web Developer | Antraciet http://www.antraciet.nl | T: +31 35 7502100 F: +31 35 7502111 | mj@antraciet.nl http://www.antraciet.nl/~mj | PGP: http://wwwkeys.nl.pgp.net:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0xA8A32149 ---------------------------------------------
