I'm caching a database query since it's a lot of data but I want to output to the user if the data is fresh (just came from the database right now), or it's cached. If it's cached, I want to tell them how long ago it came from the database. I tried to use CacheGetAllIds (and then CacheGetMetadata) but the array is empty. Where I can find this information?
Thanks.
Just to revive this old thread. I was busy with a related subject (monitoring), when I stumbled on it.
You should write code that logs in to the ColdFusion Administrator via an adminapi object. Then create a ServerMonitoring object on which to call getCachedQueries().
Steps:
(1) Enable Monitoring, Memory Monitoring and Profiling in the Administrator. That is required for the function getCachedQueries to work.
(2) Run a CFM page, say, cachedQueries.cfm, that contains the following code:
<cfscript>
/*Log in to ColdFusion Administrator (using your own password, naturally)*/
adminObj = createObject("component","cfide.adminapi.administrator");
adminObj.login("my_CF_Admin_password");
/*Instantiate the servermonitoring object*/
myObj = createObject("component","cfide.adminapi.servermonitoring");
/*Get structure(array?) containing details of each cached query*/
cachedQueries = myObj.getCachedQueries();
</cfscript>
<cfdump var="#cachedQueries#">
The documentation says this will dump the details of all cached queries as a structure having the following keys:
LASTTIMEEXECUTED: The time at which the query was executed
SIZE: The size of the query in bytes
EXECUTIONTIME: The time taken for the query to execute
QUERYNAME: The name of the query
DSN: The datasource name
SQL: The SQL for the query
TEMPLATEPATH: The path to the template on which the query was issued
TIMETAKEN:The time taken for the query to execute upto this call in milliseconds
LINENUMBER: The line number on the template where the query was issued
FUNCTIONNAME: The name of the function in which the query was issued, if any
EXECUTIONCOUNT: The number of times the query has been executed
