SL::DB::Helper::Manager - Base class & helper functions for all Rose manager classes

=head1 FUNCTIONS

=over 4

=item C<cache_all>

Pre-caches all items from a table. Use this is you expect to need all
items from a table. You can retrieve them later with the
C<load_cached> function from the corresponding Rose DB object class.

For example, if you expect to need all unit objects, you can use
C<SL::DB::Manager::Unit-E<gt>cache_all> before you start the actual
work. Later you can use C<SL::DB::Unit-E<gt>load_cached> to retrieve
individual objects and be sure that they're already cached.
