Disabling/cachine SHOW FIELDS FROM

I ask if this is possible with hopes I can squeeze every last ounce of
optimization from my database(s).

Is there any way to tell rails to cache or not inspect tables with all
of
these “SHOW FIELDS FROM” queries?

I’ve searched around but haven’t come up with anything concrete. Anyone
have any tips?

How about running rails in production mode?

Rimantas -

Pardon my ignorance, but when in production mode it does NOT make those
queries? Could you point me to where in the docs this is specified?
Some
colleagues of mine were wondering the same issue and I’d like to point
them
somewhere.

Thanks for the reply.

It does, but only once, on initial load. In development mode your
model classes get
reloaded on every request.

Not sure if this is the best place fot this, but take a look at
config/environments/development.rb and
config/environments/production.rb

development.rb:

In the development environment your application’s code is reloaded on

every request. This slows down response time but is perfect for

development

since you don’t have to restart the webserver when you make code

changes.
config.cache_classes = false

production.rb:

The production environment is meant for finished, “live” apps.

Code is not reloaded between requests

config.cache_classes = true
