I was searching on how to enable cache to store in database but found nothing. So, my question is:
Does magento do really has the feature to stores cache in the database?

I found out these tables - core_cache and core_cache_tag in the database. Does it meant to store Magento cache? I found that the tables is always empty even I enable cache from Magento admin panel.

  • Whilst this is possible, it should NEVER be used. Use Redis.

    can redis cache layouts and blocks - That's the whole point of Redis. It is a cache store for the standard Magento caches. It drops in place to replace the default file based caching mechanism.
