Hi,
I have a read heavy application. I would want it to read from memory as database latency has to be in low milliseconds.
The database is not too big in size and can be fully contained in memory.

With Postgres, if I cache all the tables (by pre-emptive querying such as select * from tables); is it assured that all subsequent queries that have involved where clauses made up of several indexed fields will still hit the cache (unless data is refreshed by writes) ?

Example if my first query is select * from table1. Then if my second query is "select * from table1 where (field1 between v1 and v2) and (field2 between v3 and v4)"; would the second query read from the cache ?

Thanks.
