Ponder that!
Same for NDB - and yes, I've been thinking of it :)
diskless sql nodes...mmmm
oh temp tables, fooey.
Screw temp tables. If you're diskless, then you have RAM disks. If you
are doing things that need tmp tables that are so large you overrun your
RAM, you're doing something wrong and should be shot.
Actually not. It is not necessary to build a database around disks, you
know. A very fast disk can sustain around 200 operations per second. A
Gigabit Ethernet, around 8,000 round trips per second. Using the memory
of a cloud as a very large cache, letting a small number of nodes handle
disk based persistence, and freeing the rest of the cloud to grind SQL
is a very interest alternative.
But, no, computers aren't defined by disks. Just a bad habit...
