Rails - Mar 2009 - Caching in Rails

I have a page that requires a lot of DB access to create a section of
it, but that section does not change very often. I know how to cache
the fragment in the view, but the db is still accessed in the
controller. I watched the railscasts on fragment caching and he does
it by moving the logic to the model.  Is that the only way to do it?
The part of the page that changes on every display is the advertising
so I can not cache the entire page.

You can use the #fragment_exists? method in your controller action.
This allows you to avoid querying the database if it''s not neseccary.

def action
  unless fragment_exists? "fragment"
    # Execute SQL here...
  end
end
