I’m using phpmyadmin and working on someone site whose information is pulled from a database with a table called “profile_types” I had to add a row for a new type but the website isn’t reflecting the changes. I’ve been reading around and “have query cache” is set to yes so figured I should clear the cache and see if that helps any.
So after reading I was trying to use RESET QUERY CACHEl but kept getting an error about using RELOAD> So after some more reading I can’t figure out how to use the RELOAD command. As far as I know this is the databases only user account so I’d figured it was admin and had the necessary privs. Am I missing something? Also, do you guys thinks doing the RESET QUERY CACHE would maybe allow it to update the site with the new record? I’ve cleared my browsers cache and tried all that and no go so figured this was my last option.
The query cache is for the results of selects. It doesn’t “cache” inserts – if queries were stuck into the cache and then not reflected in subsequent results, the database wouldn’t be ACID compliant.
In other words, imagine if this was a banking database, and it “cached” deposits but made sure withdrawals were reflected immediately. You’d be drowning in overdrafts. Oh… wait… That’s how banks work these days.
