A local database cache enabling persistent, adaptive caching of either full or partial content of a remote database is provided. Content of tables comprising a local cache database is defined on per-table basis. A table is either: defined declaratively and populated in advance of query execution, or is determined dynamically and asynchronously populated on-demand during query execution. Based on a user input query originally issued against a remote DBMS and referential cache constraints between tables in a local database cache, a Janus query plan, comprising local, remote, and probe query portions is determined. A probe query portion of a Janus query plan is executed to determine whether up-to-date results can be delivered by the execution of a local query portion against a local database cache, or whether it is necessary to retrieve results from a remote database by executing a remote query portion of Janus query plan.

A method and apparatus for efficiently processing data requests in a network oriented n-tier database environment is presented. According to one embodiment of the invention, certain or all data from the tables of a database server device can be maintained in tables on the client device in a client side database cache server system. This local cache allows the network oriented n-tier database system to eliminate the expense of repetitive network transmissions to respond to duplicate queries for the same information. Additionally, the local client device may also keep track of what data is cached on peer network nodes. This allows the client to request that data from a peer database cache server and off load that burden from the database server device. Moreover, the local client may also keep statistics regarding the frequency of requested data in order to optimize the data set maintained in the local database cache server.

Database data is maintained reliably and invalidated based on actual changes to data in the database. Updates or changes to data are detected without parsing queries submitted to the database. The dependencies of a query can be determined by submitting a version of the received query to the database through a native facility provided by the database to analyze how query structures are processed. The caching system can access the results of the facility to determine the tables, rows, or other partitions of data a received query is dependent upon or modifies. An abstracted form of the query can be cached with an indication of the tables, rows, etc. that queries of that structure access or modify. The tables a write or update query modifies can be cached with a time of last modification. When a query is received for which the results are cached, the system can readily determine dependency information for the query, the last time the dependencies were modified, and compare this time with the time indicated for when the cached results were retrieved. By passing versions of write queries to the database, updates to the database can be detected.

A server provides Web responses that can include content from data tables in a database. The server maintains a cache (e.g., in system memory) that can store content (including content from data tables) so as to increase the efficiency of subsequently providing the same content to satisfy client Web requests. The server monitors data tables for changes and, when a change in a particular data table occurs, invalidates cached entries that depend on a particular data table. Further, in response to a client Web request for a Web response, the server assigns a database cache dependency to at least a portion of a constructed Web response (e.g., to content retrieved from a data table) based on commands executed during construction of the Web response. The at least a portion of the constructed Web response is subsequently cached in a cache location at the server.

The embodiment of the invention discloses a database cache management method and a database server. The method comprises the following steps of: pre-establishing a record cache for a data sheet in a database, and reading and writing data by the record cache by taking a data row as a unit; in the event of receiving a data inquiry request of a client, searching requested data in the record cache; if the searching process is failed, searching the requested data from a page cache of the database; and returning the data searched from the record cache or the page cache to the client. By utilizing the scheme, the two caches are included in the same database server, wherein the record cache is used for reading and writing data by taking the data row as the unit; the record cache can be only updated when only a small amount of hotspot data is changed, therefore, the cache utilization rate of the database server is increased; and the cache updating frequency is reduced.
