Neil Don't confuse caching SQL (which Kellyn was discussing) with caching data (which you seem to be investigating). Personally, I veer towards the view that in most cases the LRU algorithms that Oracle uses are rather better than any simplistic application-specific data caching. I think you need a pretty good reason why you would want to override that...
