Caching on DB level

Question

Hi,
Our scenario is like one frequently accessed table which seldom changes is to be cached so that instead of retrieving the data from the filers each time a user requests for data it retrieves from cache for performance impprovement.
so instead of using folowing method
create table md_cube_64
storage (next . . . )
cache;
Alter table md_cube_64 cache;
what other methods are there for table caching?
is there any database level caching ?

Answer 1

1) Assigning table to keep pool
2) Using different table type (not heap table but for example index organized table, single table hash cluster) to reduce necessary i/o amount to get table data
3) if table data never changes and you are reusing table data much in the same session then reading them into a pl/sql collection structure in the first run and after that using that collection instead of querying actual table
I'm sure there are other possibilities...
