CDbCache implements a cache application component by storing cached data in a database.

CDbCache stores cache data in a DB table named cacheTableName. If the table does not exist, it will be automatically created. By setting autoCreateCacheTable to false, you can also manually create the DB table.

CDbCache relies on PDO to access database. By default, it will use a SQLite3 database under the application runtime directory. You can also specify connectionID so that it makes use of a DB application component to access database.

See CCache manual for common cache operations that are supported by CDbCache.

Property Details

autoCreateCacheTable property

public boolean $autoCreateCacheTable;

whether the cache DB table should be created automatically if it does not exist. Defaults to true. If you already have the table created, it is recommended you set this property to be false to improve performance.

Method Details

__destruct() method

public void __destruct()

Destructor. Disconnect the db connection.

addValue() method

protected boolean addValue(string $key, string $value, integer $expire)
$key	string	the key identifying the value to be cached
$value	string	the value to be cached
$expire	integer	the number of seconds in which the cached value will expire. 0 means never expire.
{return}	boolean	true if the value is successfully stored into cache, false otherwise

Stores a value identified by a key into cache if the cache does not contain this key. This is the implementation of the method declared in the parent class.

createCacheTable() method

protected void createCacheTable(CDbConnection $db, string $tableName)
$db	CDbConnection	the database connection
$tableName	string	the name of the table to be created

Creates the cache DB table.

deleteValue() method

protected boolean deleteValue(string $key)
$key	string	the key of the value to be deleted
{return}	boolean	if no error happens during deletion

Deletes a value with the specified key from cache This is the implementation of the method declared in the parent class.

flush() method

public void flush()

Deletes all values from cache. Be careful of performing this operation if the cache is shared by multiple applications.

gc() method (available since v1.0.11)

protected void gc()

Removes the expired data values.

getDbConnection() method

protected CDbConnection getDbConnection()
{return}	CDbConnection	the DB connection instance

getGCProbability() method (available since v1.0.9)

public integer getGCProbability()
{return}	integer	the probability (parts per million) that garbage collection (GC) should be performed when storing a piece of data in the cache. Defaults to 100, meaning 0.01% chance.

getValue() method

protected string getValue(string $key)
$key	string	a unique key identifying the cached value
{return}	string	the value stored in cache, false if the value is not in the cache or expired.

Retrieves a value from cache with a specified key. This is the implementation of the method declared in the parent class.

getValues() method (available since v1.0.8)

protected array getValues(array $keys)
$keys	array	a list of keys identifying the cached values
{return}	array	a list of cached values indexed by the keys

Retrieves multiple values from cache with the specified keys.

init() method

public void init()

Initializes this application component.

This method is required by the IApplicationComponent interface. It ensures the existence of the cache DB table. It also removes expired data items from the cache.

setGCProbability() method (available since v1.0.9)

public void setGCProbability(integer $value)
$value	integer	the probability (parts per million) that garbage collection (GC) should be performed when storing a piece of data in the cache. Defaults to 100, meaning 0.01% chance. This number should be between 0 and 1000000. A value 0 meaning no GC will be performed at all.

setValue() method

protected boolean setValue(string $key, string $value, integer $expire)
$key	string	the key identifying the value to be cached
$value	string	the value to be cached
$expire	integer	the number of seconds in which the cached value will expire. 0 means never expire.
{return}	boolean	true if the value is successfully stored into cache, false otherwise

Stores a value identified by a key in cache. This is the implementation of the method declared in the parent class.
