Logical Level Predictive Caching in Relational Databases

A system, method, and computer-readable medium for performing a predictive caching operation in which a hit rate is improved by pre executing statements that are predicted based upon previous use patterns. More specifically, by analyzing a stream of statements provided to a server, such as a database server, patterns of usage are detected and based upon these patterns, statements provided to the server are executed before the actual application executes the predicted statements. Thus the application executes faster because the data requested is already cached based upon the predictive execution.
