INTELLIGENT CACHING FOR ENTERPRISE RESOURCE PLANNING REPORTING

This disclosure describes systems, methods, and apparatus for ERP reporting using a cache server to cache previous query results. Query latency is further reduced by routing queries and responses to queries through the cache server rather than via direct communication between a querying device and a server hosting the database. This is done by moving a driver for interfacing with the database to the server hosting the database, thus avoiding slow protocol communications between this driver and the database when such communications occur over a WAN. A custom driver is also designed to interface with the cache server and control routing of queries and responses through the cache server. Further, a cache server is selected that enables queries to be passed straight to the server hosting the database rather than the query device having to pass these queries to the database.
