Abstract
Embodiments provide a data caching mechanism based on a user's request (query) to a remote database, and the corresponding response (query result) received therefrom. As part of a database query, the user can define cache parameter(s). When a viable communications link becomes available to access the remote database, volumes of relevant data are returned as a query result and cached locally according to those predefined cache parameter(s). Embodiments are particularly suited to allow a mobile device to interact with data of a remote database in an efficient and reliable manner. The mobile device's small form factor, may preclude local storage of large volumes of remotely stored data. However, this can be compensated for by selectively storing data in the cache memory according to user-specified parameters, allowing the mobile device to continue to have access to relevant information in the event that communication with the remote database is degraded or lost.
