Improved Query Caching

Derek Jones edited this page Jul 5, 2012 · 30 revisions

Category:Core::Cache The way CodeIgniter does Query Caching (namely Controller-based caching) works fine with small and decentralized pages where all controllers are pretty much independent. But as soon as you have a model that's shared by a handful of controllers, you end up with a big mess.

Just take a model for generating the data for a tag cloud that's displayed on every page. You would end up with dozens of duplicates and handling those caches would suck as hell.

I got pretty sick of this and thus I of re-wrote pretty much CI's entire caching storage mechanisms. Using my code CI now supports several different ways to cache database queries.
