I think there are a few options here which we discussed in the past:
a) Use Zend_Cache to cache the info with a TTL.
b) Implement a very lightweight Zend_Db specific cache with TTL.
c) Auto-generate classes (i.e. manual update). Theoretically that and Cache
are similar solutions as Cache can also be manually generated.
Anyway, Bill is working right now to come with a suggestion for what the
scope of Zend_Db is and if we need an additional layer, what that would be.
This issue will definitely be taken into account.
Thanks.
