I am reading Feuerstein's article in Oracle Magazine and is seems as
the PL/SQL Function Result Cache is the same as using the
deterministic keyword.

Is this the case, or am I missing something?

A deterministic function NEVER involves results from tables. A cached
function result takes advantage of cursor results much like the buffer
cache, except at a much leaner and meaner granularity.

OK, thanks. Now I see the difference. I also see the reason for Mr.
Feuerstein's excitement!!!!!
