DBCache: Database Caching For Web Application Servers

Summary: DBCache is a DB2-based cache using DPropR replication to initialize and refresh cached tables. A passthru-based router directs reads to cache or backend by type and currency, enabling admin mode and a cache-init that derives a middle-tier schema. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
