Re: load balancing and SQLObject cache

It does not seem to work. When I set cache to 0 and debug to 1 in uri

DB URI ('postgres://host/db?cache=0&debug=1')

f = db.Person.get(5)
print f.name
f1 = db.Person.get(5)
print f1.name

I don't see second select to the database on second get.
Apparently, the value is fetched from expiredCache.

Any suggestions?

Thank you.
