Re: Caching in PostgreSQL

I am using memcached (http://www.danga.com/memcached/) to cache Postgres ADODB recordsets.
It's very efficient but has to be implemented in your own application.

That's a bad idea. Just design your database schema with performance in
mind, and use PostgreSQL normally with SQL queries. If you must, use a
general-purpose caching library in your application, instead of trying
to peek into PostgreSQL internals.
