Semantic cache and distribution introduce new obstacles to how we use cache in query processing in databases. We have adapted a caching strategy called cache investment to work in a peer-to-peer database with semantic cache. Cache investment is a technique that influences the query optimizer without changing it. It suggests cache candidates based on knowledge about queries executed in the past. These queries are not only limited to the local site, but also detects locality in queries by looking at queries processed on remote sites. Our implementation of Semantic cache investment for distributed databases shows a great performance improvement, especially when multiple queries are active at the same time. To utilize cache investment we have looked into how a distributed query optimizer can be extended to use cache content in planning. This allows the query optimizer to detect and include beneficial cache content on remote sites that it otherwise would have ignored. Our implementation of a cache-aware optimizer shows an improvement in performance, but its most important task is to evaluate cache candidates provided through cache investment.
