The relations or others things like operators, functions, etc. Right?

There must be possible define some callback specific data too, thecallback maybe will search query in some own specific
cacheand itrequire some key.

Hmm, it can depend on action, I can imagine:
DROP TABLE tab;
ERROR: mycallback(): can't rebuild the query used in PL/SQL function 'xyz'. Please drop this function first.
...tabledrop failed. This is maybe not possible implement now, but it's ideal conception:-)

Agree. It means store to cache query string too (I not sure if it'sused in current qcache, but it's simple).
There can be one query cache and one cached planns checking only, for RI, SPI, PL/SQL, PREPARE/EXECUTE. Or not? I think
implement4x same things is terrible.
