The query cache is a key-value store of cacheable-queries, and their result.<br>
This interferes with benchmarking, since repeat queries may be much faster to lookup.
 
To avoid the query cache:
<syntaxhighlight lang="mysql">
# 1. Add a calculated-function to your selected rows - since they are not cacheable
#    TODO: validate
SELECT ..., NOW() FROM ...
 
# 2. Use 'SQL_NO_CACHE' in your query
#    (This often has not worked for me)
SELECT SQL_NO_CACHE ... FROM ...
</syntaxhighlight>
 
It is implemented as an LRU key-value store for exact (byte-for-byte) query matches.<br>
Each cache entry knows which tables it references for permissions, and cache-invalidation.<br>
Whenever any row is changed in a table, all cache entries using that table are purged.
 
<syntaxhighlight lang="mysql">
SHOW VARIABLES LIKE 'query_cache_type';  # cache is 'ON/OFF/DEMAND'
SHOW VARIABLES LIKE 'query_cache_size';  # max capacity of cache
</syntaxhighlight>

There are some general MySQL caches, but increasingly they are engine specific.

TODO:

split up this page per database engine, it's hard to read
