+      <para>Controls the caching of attribute type information on the
+      table specified by <parameter>table</parameter> in
+      <parameter>database</parameter> which defaults to
+      <symbol>*default-database*</symbol>. <parameter>action</parameter>
+      specifies the caching behaviour to adopt. If its value is &t;
+      then attribute type information is cached whereas if its value
+      is &nil; then attribute type information is not cached. If
+      <parameter>action</parameter> is <symbol>:flush</symbol> then
+      all existing type information in the cache for
+      <parameter>table</parameter> is removed, but caching is still
+      enabled. <parameter>table</parameter> may be a string
+      representing a table for which the caching action is to be taken
+      while the caching action is applied to all tables if
+      <parameter>table</parameter> is &t;. Alternatively, when
+      <parameter>table</parameter> is <symbol>:default</symbol>, the
+      default caching action specified by
+      <symbol>*cache-table-queries-default*</symbol> is applied to all
+      tables for which a caching action has not been explicitly set.
