Memcached 1.2.6
« on: February 23, 2026, 10:38:20 pm »
Hi!
I've compiled memcached version 1.2.6 for OS/2. I suggest you test it.
Many CMSs work with this cache. However, the PHP build for OS/2 doesn't contain the necessary library.
I hope it will be compiled.

Hello Igor

Thanks for sharing it.

What it is for?  Is it this one?
"Free & open source, high-performance, distributed memory object caching system, generic in nature, but intended for use in speeding up dynamic web applications by alleviating database load."
-- https://memcached.org/

Any tips on how to test it?

Hi Martin,

Yes, that's exactly it. For now, the only way to check this is thround a PHP software class.
I've attached it.

Martin,

-- https://memcached.org/...

A good example is the use-case of caching DB query results, see https://docs.memcached.org/userguide/

More specifically, the API (if I am correct) enables your client side application to query up the results in a memcached server (which could be one, or many of them) to see whether the results for that particular query have been previously stored and have a specific TTL assigned to them.

If the HIT is there, great, you do not end up putting the same query execution load on the DBMS server itself, instead you simply pull that result from it's "temporary" storage on the memcached server.

I would consider this to be an architectural-like tool where you would want to provision it's use right from the very start. I am not quite sure how you'd make use of it in a typical client side user environment though, and I do not think its intended to do that either.

@Igor, how are you using this?

Hi!
@Igor, how are you using this?

I use memcached to accelerate content management system (CMS) on my web project.
It caches SQL requests.
For my CMS this is a standard accelerator.
