    Oh. I see. Very nice.

    Furthermore, I have re-read your posts and realized that I have probably
    been making some false assumptions about Cayenne's 'caching'.

    You said:

    Does this mean that every time I do a DataContext.performQuery(),
    Cayenne fetches the data from the database? I was thinking that a
    second performQuery() on a given DataContext would grab data stored in
    "the cache" by the first performQuery() - but I just watched my
    Postgresql log while I did some performQueries ... and I see that this
    is not the case. The data is being fetched from Postgresql.

    My apologies. At least this discussion is archived for the next schmuck
    who comes along wondering how Cayenne caching works.
