IE> Is this caching something that we could import into BDB? it is pretty easy to add caching inside one transaction or accross transactions assuming there is only one instance (and one thread) working with database. we can have this part implemented in the core and shared among backends..
cache that works accross transactions and supports multiple concurrent instances connected requires tracking changes (for examle, on btree level) and storing them in the database -- that requires considerable amount of work and is backend-specific. given that it should have much less effect on BDB, probably it's not worth implementing. _______________________________________________ elephant-devel site list elephant-devel@common-lisp.net http://common-lisp.net/mailman/listinfo/elephant-devel
