I've just started investigating that issue (which is why the patch is
labeled "work-in-progress").  Is there a reason SQLDatabase is special
cased in PageCache?  Most features interact with the PageCache via
ActiveDOMObject::canSuspend().  In that bug, I'm investigating why
SQLDatabase doesn't just use the same general mechanism as other
features.

Thanks,
