Good point. A cache only uses lookup by one kind of cache key while SOLR provides lookup by ... well... any search configuration that your index setup (mainly the schema) supports. If the "database queries" always do a find by unique id, then use a cache. Otherwise using SOLR is a valid option. Chantal
