So the built-in caching in .Net doesn't do such things SY? I haven't used it other than as a way to make data automatically expire after a given time period so I'd be interested to hear what you find out.

In terms of stale data, one pattern is a write through cache. All access to the DB / persistence store is through the write through cache. This way the cache always knows when data has been invalidated. You can even have a lazy writer process persist the data from the cache in the background (write behind).
There are many open source and cloud solutions. Memcached, AWS Elasticache, Azure Redis Cache for example.
The data would be shared across processes and servers. The data is really only likely to be a few 100,000 rows of normal text on some fairly wide tables so not really as bad as I was making out with the blobs, but I was exaggerating to see if some super duper frameworks would come to the fore.
This isn't cloud but on premise.
The write through cache is exactly the kind of thing I was thinking of, but the first rule is don't cut code if there is something already available.
I will look at the Open Source solutions you mention.

If it's 4TB of data to cache, good luck holding that in one .Net process.

In the past when changing config data through an admin site, I've called a web service to invalidate cache which would force the next query to fetch the data from the db.Last edited by woohoo; 28 March 2017, 21:11.

So, what does the panel recommend?
For bonus points, is there anything where the DB can ping back a message to say you're data is stale now?

Put you requirements down.
LM and I will be back in a few days with timescales, resource requirements and a quote

I'd have to search MSDN because it's been so long but I think you're looking for the SqlDependency class assuming you're using SQL server which I believe will provide some mechanism of cache invalidation when data becomes stale. Perhaps there is something similar available for different database servers.
