Do you have access to the raw web server logs?  Maybe through cpanel or 
the filesystem directly?

show tables where tables_in_DATABASENAME like 'cache%';

In D5, that gives me five rows:

+----------------------------+
| Tables_in_NewLifeHV_drupal |
+----------------------------+
| cache                      |
| cache_filter               |
| cache_menu                 |
| cache_page                 |
| cache_views                |
+----------------------------+

Then I suppose you would run a truncate table command for each of 
those--E.G. "truncate table cache_filter".

I am no Drupal expert, so Caveat emptor.
