+### Query Result Caching
+
+MasterRecord includes a **production-grade two-level caching system** similar to Entity Framework and Hibernate. The cache dramatically improves performance by storing query results and automatically invalidating them when data changes.
+
+#### How It Works
+
+```
+┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
+│              First-Level Cache (Identity Map)       │
+│  - Request-scoped entity tracking                   │
+│  - O(1) entity lookup                               │
+│  - Already in MasterRecord                          │
+└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
+                       ▼
+┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
+│       Second-Level Cache (Query Result Cache)       │
+│  - Application-wide query result storage            │
+│  - Automatic invalidation on data changes           │
+│  - In-memory (development) or Redis (production)    │
+└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
+```
+
+#### Basic Usage (Default Behavior)
+
+Caching is **enabled by default** and requires zero configuration:
+
+```javascript
+const db = new AppContext();
+
+// First query hits database (cache miss)
+const user = db.User.where(u => u.id == $$, 1).single();
+
+// Second identical query hits cache (99%+ faster)
+const user2 = db.User.where(u => u.id == $$, 1).single();
+
+// Update invalidates cache automatically
+user2.name = "Updated";
+db.saveChanges();  // Cache for User table cleared
+
+// Next query hits database again (cache miss)
+const user3 = db.User.where(u => u.id == $$, 1).single();
+```
+
+#### Configuration
+
+Configure caching via environment variables:
+
+```bash
+# Development (.env)
+QUERY_CACHE_ENABLED=true           # Enable/disable (default: true)
+QUERY_CACHE_TTL=300000             # TTL in milliseconds (default: 5 minutes)
+QUERY_CACHE_SIZE=1000              # Max cache entries (default: 1000)
+
+# Production (.env)
+QUERY_CACHE_ENABLED=true
+QUERY_CACHE_TTL=300                # Redis uses seconds
+REDIS_URL=redis://localhost:6379  # Use Redis for distributed caching
+```
+
+#### Disable Caching for Specific Queries
+
+Use `.noCache()` for real-time data that shouldn't be cached:
+
+```javascript
+// Always hit database (never cached)
+const liveData = db.Analytics
+    .where(a => a.date == $$, today)
+    .noCache()  // Skip cache
+    .toList();
+
+// Reference data (highly cacheable)
+const categories = db.Categories.toList();  // Cached for 5 minutes
+```
+
+#### Manual Cache Control
+
+```javascript
+const db = new AppContext();
+
+// Check cache performance
+const stats = db.getCacheStats();
+console.log(stats);
+// {
+//   size: 45,
+//   maxSize: 1000,
+//   hits: 234,
+//   misses: 67,
+//   hitRate: '77.74%',
+//   enabled: true
+// }
+
+// Clear cache manually
+db.clearQueryCache();
+
+// Disable caching temporarily
+db.setQueryCacheEnabled(false);
+const freshData = db.User.toList();
+db.setQueryCacheEnabled(true);
+```
+
+#### Redis-Based Distributed Caching (Production)
+
+For multi-process or clustered deployments, use Redis:
+
+```javascript
+const redis = require('redis');
+const RedisQueryCache = require('masterrecord/Cache/RedisQueryCache');
+
+class AppContext extends context {
+    constructor() {
+        super();
+
+        // Use Redis cache in production
+        if (process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production' && process.env.REDIS_URL) {
+            const redisClient = redis.createClient(process.env.REDIS_URL);
+            this._queryCache = new RedisQueryCache(redisClient, {
+                ttl: 300,  // 5 minutes (seconds for Redis)
+                prefix: 'myapp:'
+            });
+        }
+        // In-memory cache used automatically in development
+
+        this.dbset(User);
+    }
+}
+```
+
+**Benefits of Redis cache:**
+- Shared across processes (horizontally scalable)
+- Pub/sub invalidation (cache stays consistent)
+- Two-level cache (L1 in-memory + L2 Redis)
+- Automatic failover to database on Redis errors
+
+#### Cache Invalidation Strategy
+
+MasterRecord automatically invalidates cache entries when data changes:
+
+```javascript
+// Query is cached
+const users = db.User.where(u => u.active == true).toList();
+
+// Any modification to User table invalidates ALL User queries
+const user = db.User.findById(1);
+user.name = "Updated";
+db.saveChanges();  // Invalidates all cached User queries
+
+// Next query hits database (fresh data)
+const usersAgain = db.User.where(u => u.active == true).toList();
+
+// Queries for OTHER tables are unaffected
+const posts = db.Post.toList();  // Still cached
+```
+
+**Invalidation rules:**
+- `INSERT` invalidates all queries for that table
+- `UPDATE` invalidates all queries for that table
+- `DELETE` invalidates all queries for that table
+- Queries for other tables are not affected
+
+#### Performance Impact
+
+Expected performance improvements:
+
+| Scenario | Without Cache | With Cache | Improvement |
+|----------|---------------|------------|-------------|
+| Single query (100 calls) | 100 DB queries | 1 DB + 99 cache | **99% faster** |
+| List query (50 calls) | 50 DB queries | 1 DB + 49 cache | **98% faster** |
+| Reference data (1000 calls) | 1000 DB queries | 1 DB + 999 cache | **99.9% faster** |
+| Mixed operations | Baseline | 70-90% hit rate | **3-10x faster** |
+
+**Memory usage:** ~1KB per cached query (1000 entries ≈ 1MB)
+
+#### Best Practices
+
+**DO cache:**
+```javascript
+// Reference data (rarely changes)
+const categories = db.Categories.toList();
+const settings = db.Settings.toList();
+
+// Read-heavy data (user profiles)
+const user = db.User.findById(userId);
+
+// Expensive aggregations
+const stats = db.Orders
+    .where(o => o.status == $$, 'completed')
+    .count();
+```
+
+**DON'T cache:**
+```javascript
+// Real-time data (always needs fresh results)
+const liveOrders = db.Orders
+    .where(o => o.status == $$, 'pending')
+    .noCache()
+    .toList();
+
+// Financial transactions (critical accuracy)
+const balance = db.Transactions
+    .where(t => t.user_id == $$, userId)
+    .noCache()
+    .toList();
+
+// User-specific sensitive data (security concern)
+const permissions = db.UserPermissions
+    .where(p => p.user_id == $$, userId)
+    .noCache()
+    .toList();
+```
+
+#### Monitoring Cache Performance
+
+```javascript
+// Log cache stats periodically
+setInterval(() => {
+    const stats = db.getCacheStats();
+    console.log(`Cache: ${stats.hitRate} hit rate, ${stats.size}/${stats.maxSize} entries`);
+}, 60000);
+
+// Watch for low hit rates (< 50% might indicate poor cache strategy)
+if (parseFloat(stats.hitRate) < 50) {
+    console.warn('Cache hit rate is low, consider tuning cache TTL or size');
+}
+```
