 * Is there a reason no plugin uses redis for database cache and not just object
   cache?

 * It’s kinda the same, isn’t it?

 * Well I don’t know, for example in W3 total cache you can use memcached to cache
   objects and database separately.
 * I figured there must be some benefit to enabling both object and database cache.
   My understanding is if using database cache in Redis you could avoid hitting 
   MySQL more often.
 * For example the way WordPress caches ajax requests could be limited compared 
   to how redis could do it.

 * That’s what the object cache does, avoid database hits : )
