  442. <ul class="simple">
    443. 

  443. <li>Create a writable directory on your server where the cache files can

    449. 

  449. described below.</li>
    450. 

  450. </ul>
    451. 

  451. <p>Once enabled, caching will happen automatically whenever a page is
    452. 

  452. loaded that contains database queries.</p>

  455. <h2>How Does Caching Work?<a class="headerlink" href="#how-does-caching-work" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
    456. 

  456. <p>CodeIgniter’s query caching system happens dynamically when your pages
    457. 

  457. are viewed. When caching is enabled, the first time a web page is
    458. 

  458. loaded, the query result object will be serialized and stored in a text
    459. 

  459. file on your server. The next time the page is loaded the cache file
    460. 

  460. will be used instead of accessing your database. Your database usage can
    461. 

  461. effectively be reduced to zero for any pages that have been cached.</p>
    462. 

  462. <p>Only read-type (SELECT) queries can be cached, since these are the only
    463. 

  463. type of queries that produce a result. Write-type (INSERT, UPDATE, etc.)
    464. 

  464. queries, since they don’t generate a result, will not be cached by the
    465. 

  465. system.</p>
    466. 

  466. <p>Cache files DO NOT expire. Any queries that have been cached will remain
    467. 

  467. cached until you delete them. The caching system permits you clear
    468. 

  468. caches associated with individual pages, or you can delete the entire
    469. 

  469. collection of cache files. Typically you’ll want to use the housekeeping
    470. 

  470. functions described below to delete cache files after certain events
    471. 

  471. take place, like when you’ve added new information to your database.</p>
    472.

  474. <h2>Will Caching Improve Your Site’s Performance?<a class="headerlink" href="#will-caching-improve-your-site-s-performance" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
    475. 

  475. <p>Getting a performance gain as a result of caching depends on many
    476. 

  476. factors. If you have a highly optimized database under very little load,
    477. 

  477. you probably won’t see a performance boost. If your database is under
    478. 

  478. heavy use you probably will see an improved response, assuming your
    479. 

  479. file-system is not overly taxed. Remember that caching simply changes
    480. 

  480. how your information is retrieved, shifting it from being a database
    481. 

  481. operation to a file-system one.</p>
    482. 

  482. <p>In some clustered server environments, for example, caching may be
    483. 

  483. detrimental since file-system operations are so intense. On single
    484. 

  484. servers in shared environments, caching will probably be beneficial.
    485. 

  485. Unfortunately there is no single answer to the question of whether you
    486. 

  486. should cache your database. It really depends on your situation.</p>
    487. 

  487. </div>
    488. 

  488. <div class="section" id="how-are-cache-files-stored">
    489. 

  489. <h2>How are Cache Files Stored?<a class="headerlink" href="#how-are-cache-files-stored" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
    490. 

  490. <p>CodeIgniter places the result of EACH query into its own cache file.
    491. 

  491. Sets of cache files are further organized into sub-folders corresponding
    492. 

  492. to your controller functions. To be precise, the sub-folders are named
    493. 

  493. identically to the first two segments of your URI (the controller class
    494. 

  494. name and function name).</p>
    495. 

  495. <p>For example, let’s say you have a controller called blog with a function
    496. 

  496. called comments that contains three queries. The caching system will
    497. 

  497. create a cache folder called blog+comments, into which it will write
    498. 

  498. three cache files.</p>
    499. 

  499. <p>If you use dynamic queries that change based on information in your URI
    500. 

  500. (when using pagination, for example), each instance of the query will
    501. 

  501. produce its own cache file. It’s possible, therefore, to end up with
    502. 

  502. many times more cache files than you have queries.</p>
    503.

    506. 

  506. <p>Since cache files do not expire, you’ll need to build deletion routines
    507. 

  507. into your application. For example, let’s say you have a blog that
    508. 

  508. allows user commenting. Whenever a new comment is submitted you’ll want
    509. 

  509. to delete the cache files associated with the controller function that
    510. 

  510. serves up your comments. You’ll find two delete functions described
    511. 

  511. below that help you clear data.</p>

    515. 

  515. <p>Lastly, we need to point out that the result object that is cached is a
    516. 

  516. simplified version of the full result object. For that reason, some of
    517. 

  517. the query result functions are not available for use.</p>
    518. 

  518. <p>The following functions ARE NOT available when using a cached result
    519. 

  519. object:</p>
    520. 

  520. <ul class="simple">
    521.

  524. <li>free_result()</li>
    525.

    526. 

  526. <p>Also, the two database resources (result_id and conn_id) are not
    527. 

  527. available when caching, since result resources only pertain to run-time
