What is Caching Strategies in DBMS?
In today’s digital world, the speed of an application plays a major role in its success. Generally, users expect the applications to run faster with quick responses. Also, It should support seamless experiences across all their digital interactions, whether they’re browsing a website, mobile app, or a software platform. Caching is used to implement a high-speed system with a large number of users. A cache is a high-speed data storage that stores data temporarily to serve future requests faster.
Database caching is like a helper for your primary database (DB). It is a mechanism that stores frequently accessed data in temporary memory. Whenever the application requests the data again, that can quickly get it from this helper, instead of from the main database. Cache helps to reduce the database workloads. So it increases system speed by reducing the need to fetch data from DB.
