No, it is an input iterator, as specified in the manual.

The cache you are referring to (if there is one; currently it only really
exists for MySQL) is the internal, binary representation of the returned
objects, not the objects themselves. For MySQL it is freed as soon as you
reach the end of the result stream (or if you destroy the result before
reaching the end).
