I think the object cache and memcached are alternative ways of storing persistent data. (I also am not an expert in this, so I could be wrong). My understanding is memcached uses the memcached daemon (http:// memcached.org/), while the object cache uses the underlying database. If so, then memcached data disappears after a system crash or power outage, whereas object cache data should survive.
There is no ObjectCache class. Basically, there is a common base class called BagOStuff and from that various classes for various backends are defined such as SqlBagOStuff and MemcacheBagOStuff. To the code outside that class, there is no visible difference.

Thanks for the clarification. I just looked at ObjectCache.php and it appears to provide a set of functions for accessing cache data of any type. Is this correct?
How does memcached fit into this? When I looked at BagOStuff, I didn't find a MemcacheBagOStuff class. Is it defined elsewhere?
