MemSQL Makers Say They've Created the Fastest Database On the Planet
mikejuk writes "Two former Facebook developers have created a new database that they say is the world's fastest and it is MySQL compatible. According to Eric Frenkiel and Nikita Shamgunov, MemSQL, the database they have developed over the past year, is thirty times faster than conventional disk-based databases. MemSQL has put together a video showing MySQL versus MemSQL carrying out a sequence of queries, in which MySQL performs at around 3,500 queries per second, while MemSQL achieves around 80,000 queries per second. The documentation says that MemSQL writes back to disk/SSD as soon as the transaction is acknowledged in memory, and that using a combination of write-ahead logging and snapshotting ensures your data is secure. There is a free version but so far how much a full version will cost isn't given." (See also this article at SlashBI.)
too bad there wasn't mention of Apple or Raspberry Pi. That'd be sure to get even more people to click through!
It sounds cool, but we can get 200k iops on Raid10 SSD without degradation.
When the foot seeks the place of the head, the line is crossed. Know your place. Keep your place. Be a shoe.
Really? Accessing RAM is faster than accessing a disk? What a novel discovery!
It seems to me that MySQL can also be run in memory. Apparently that's how the clustered database works (or used to work). I've never tried it, but let's see some benchmarks between MemSQL and an entirely memory-based MySQL.
"You cannot simultaneously prevent and prepare for war." -- Albert Einstein
MemSQL is definitely good news, and hopefully it will encourage the MySQL team to play catch up with it's performance. Maybe it will provide an improved web experience if it gets wide adoption and deployment. As a long time SysAd/webmaster/developer, I'm certainly interested, but for obvious reasons I'm not putting any business critical servers onto something this fresh and new, regardless of performance benefits. I think I'll download a copy and use it locally for testing, but like any software, there are going to be bugs, maybe even data loss or security issues that may emerge on certain server setups. I'll see how the changelog looks in 6 months or a year before considering it for my mission critical servers. Regardless, kudos to the developers. Grabbing my download before/if it gets /.'ed
When I think of fast databases to compare to, the first thing I think of is MySQL.
/Actually, I'd rather see a comparison to Pick or other lightning fast MV dbs
Show me benchmarks vs Oracle, PostgreSQL or SQLServer. Spare me the comparison with MySQL or some other toy.
Ok, so both article and video is extremely thin on details, the explanation for the massive performance is pretty much gibberish and their argumentation for ACID compliance is bullshit.
Just leaves me with the question, what are they trying to get out of this BS?
Oh, but those questions don't involve ego, and could involve butthurt.

P.S.=> I used to design software ramdisk based softwares (drivers + interfaces in GUI etc./et al) & was featured as front page on sites like CENATEK &/or EEC Systems for them, per the above article... but I went elsewhere? Where?? HARDWARE, per this article imitating my idea...
Currently - I use a TRUE "SSD" here, in the Gigabyte IRAM 4gb DDR2/SATA bus (to do the following for systemwide performance enhancements currently (& before it a CENATEK RocketDrive to do the same, after I moved away from ramdisk softwares usage to do the same using dedicated hardwares that have always been FAST ON WRITES & long-lasting keeping their performance level consistent, unlike modern "SSD"s based on FLASH RAM technologies)):

Give me fast enough, robust, easy to administer and standards compliant. Maybe a little less fast means you throw more hardware at a problem, but it doesn't matter if overall the overall cost and risk is inflated. A platform decision boils down to three things: (1) is it good enough; (2) is it economical; (3) if we decide later this doesn't work for us, are we totally screwed.
In any case, there's no meaningful way you can make a claim that a database management system is the fastest on the planet. All you have is benchmarks, and different benchmarks apply to different use-cases.
Post may contain irony: discontinue use if experiencing mood swings, nausea or elevated blood pressure.
What you have there is (or may be) the fastest database management system.
I have the worlds fastest database. One table, one record, and one field (NULL).
Have gnu, will travel.
I wouldn't run my toaster on software engineered by someone from Facebook, let alone a database. I'd have to spend ten minutes searching for my toast, and it would show up the following week.
And then the next week, your toast would have changed from white bread to wholegrain and you're just going to have to get used to it.
Or its nowadays name: CACHE? The best, the fastest, and the most reliable commercial database on the planet? Common, guys, get real.
I would like to see the compare againsr DB2. Midrange DB2 if you really want like for like, mainframe if you have guts :)
You have a sick, twisted mind. Please subscribe me to your newsletter.
It can work for small amount of data, but how it "handles terabyte-scale workloads", as claimed in memsql.com, without paging and disk access?
Ok, they complete the sentence with "by connecting MemSQL AND MySQL NODES TOGETHER". It seems Ashton Kutcher & Cia money wasn't enough and they are trying to get more with not-so-technical investors.
Some clever tricks and cache management. All the speed improvement seems to be coming via read/write speeds rather than any fundamental breakthrough or parallel implementation or massively parallel database of any such thing. And the test was the standard test but some hand picked data base and their own queries. Probably the original funders are planning to sell it down to the next set of chumps.
sed -e 's/Chuck Norris/Rajnikant/g' joke > fact
They're durable and synchronously log all changes to disk, so what makes them faster? They do say this, from: http://developers.memsql.com/docs/1b/durability.html
Reconfigure the server to use a faster disk. MemSQL exclusively relies on sequential (not random) disk writes, so using an SSD will dramatically improve durability write performance.
Are SSDs better at sequential writes? I thought their advantage was random reads, and they weren't any faster at writes then HDDs. Also, the data would become hopelessly out of order by only doing sequential writes, unless they're periodically re-writing all the data in order, which would mean lots more I/O then a typical DB.
tomorrow who's gonna fuss
Since MemSQL is MySQL compatible, I'm wondering if they re-implemented the query parser or if they copied GPL code from MySQL. If so, they'd be violating the GPL and Oracle could take them to court. It's possible this whole thing is above board, but I really do wonder.
The other problem is that it's only for Linux. Some of us run databases on other operating systems.

In-memory databases already exist. See VoltDB http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VoltDB
An in-memory database that supports SQL and is ACID compliant. Full rewrite implementation of SQL with no legacy code.
Completely in memory. Uses replication with failover for recovery instead of write-ahead log to avoid hitting slow disk with write-ahead log. Assign each core a different segment of memory and run single threaded writes to avoid overhead of locking and latching.
Supposedly can do 50x faster than traditional systems already.
See http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uhDM4fcI2aI for an interesting talk on it.
Not only would it tell all your "friends" and relatives what you are eating and when but the control for turning notifications off would be deeply buried next to the mains power wire and mysteriously switch itself back on at random intervals.
The most over-the-top DB God I know started in Pick-land (ca 1972?). Although he does (is forced to?) use SQL nowadays, he thinks in ways that do not come out of any SQL DBA handbook. As a result he gets DBMSs to do things that are ... unnatural.
He is currently doing some data-cubing stuff for us that I didn't think could be done with something less than a DOD budget. He says his touchstone is thinking in Pick and then 'translating' to SQL.
I still think that the 2 missing courses from any CS degree program are 1) how to debug, and 2) history of computing.
Speed's fine, but what kind? Or more specifically, over what timeframe? High transaction rates are fine, but they don't do any good if you can only sustain them for a few seconds or minutes before the whole thing collapses. I want to know the transaction rate the thing can sustain over 24 hours of continuous operation. In the real world you have to be able to keep processing transactions continuously.
That long-time-period test also shows up another potential problem area: disk bottleneck. In-memory's fine, but few serious databases are small enough to fit completely in memory. And even if it will fit, you can't lose your database when you shut down to upgrade the software so eventually the data has to be written to disk. And that becomes a bottleneck. If your system can't flush to disk at least as rapidly as you're handling transactions, your disk writes start to lag behind. Sooner or later that'll cause a collapse as the buffers needed to hold data waiting to be written to disk compete for memory with the actual data. You can play algorithmic games to minimize the competition, but sooner or later you run up against the hard wall of disk throughput. And the higher your transactions rates are, the harder you're going to hit that wall.
Uh huh. MySQL is missing huge chunks of functionality by default, so this is not all that impressive. Wake me up when it's PostgreSQL-compatible.
At least you would have the ability to "Like" the toast :)
Sounds like fewer and few people can do basic math.
80/3.5 = 30? try 22.8 they are off by over 31.5 %
They did have an ad to lure in "Top Coders" at http://developers.memsql.com/blog/
Apart from their ad, what they said about Top Coders was interesting - with the exception of top coders memorizing who books filled with algorithms, because top coders do not memorize nothing - top coders do not get to be top coders by memorizing.
Instead, top coders have that instinct to _know_ which algorithm to adapt and apply, and top coders know where (and how to) look for the algorithm (either from their own archive, from books, from old magazines, or from some strange corners on the Web)
Muchas Gracias, Señor Edward Snowden !

So what is the difference between MemSQL and TimesTen?
Other than the 16 years TimesTen has been out longer, the fact that Oracle now owns TimesTen, that it runs on both 32bit and 64bit Linux and Windows, that it can run in front of another database engine to give it a boost, and that it has customer installations up to the Terabyte range.
Just another lame attempt to reinvent the wheel.

Remember the good old days, when XYZ-db wasn't always available (or even disirable)? we used to use files.
Yea, files. Novel concept, these days, mention ISAM to someone and they don't know what you're talking about!
If you really need speed, maybe a database isn't your best bet. Maybe, just maybe, you should consider structuring the data in a way that makes sense for your application using files.
But not dislike the toast.

15,000 developers like this.
been doing for the past 20 years! Oh wow, keepingt he data in RAM and on Disk, and reading and writing to RAM, and then dumping RAM to Disk at its own pace, and thus getting the speed of RAM and solidity of Disk. How do they do it!!! Incredible, did the Art students make this incredible discovery? wow!!! Did women participate in this monumental nobel prize winning engineering marvel? This is incredible, certainly today will be marked within the history books for the great accomplishment, discovery, and creativity that these MemSQL people bring to the table. Just incredible, I am so happy I've lived long enough to see this day.
I've had a love-hate relationship with MySQL for over ten years now, and have as much cause to hate it as anyone, but I have to point this out. Read the MemSQL docs carefully, and here's the killer - they only support single-query transactions, and only at isolation level READ COMMITTED.
Until those two facts change, then its hardly a fair comparison.
I guess they forgot about VoltDB and H-Base.
On my laptop I can do 43.000 transactions/sec or about 90.000 SQL queries/sec.
http://www.sgi.com/pdfs/4238.pdf
It seems to me that MemSQL is just an implementation of MySQL with the commit behavior changed to something like "BATCH, NO WAIT." This would normally introduce a period of time when the transaction could be lost before it is written to disk, if there were a power outage or something, but with battery backups on enterprise RAID cards, the transaction should still be saved in the RAM on the RAID card. I think it would still be possible to lose the transaction if the server crashed mid-transaction, so perhaps this is a safe implementation of BATCH, NO WAIT on MySQL?
Is it web scale?
I read it on Wikipedia, so it must be true.
Actually, which license does this use in the first place? CDDL? GPL2? GPL3? Any other?
MemSQL uses the standard, Pay Us And STFU About Wanting Access To Source Code license.
Based on that it should be safe to assume the PUASTFUAWATSC licenese is an OSI-approved/GPL compatible license. Expect MemSQL to be bundled in the next major release of Trisquel!
dBASE/xBase also teaches one to think in ways that SQL may otherwise squelch. Rather than get into yet another argument about which is "better" or more "mathematically pure", let's just say that it stretches the mind to see how other database languages go about things. Some things that are difficult in SQL are easier in other database languages, and the reasons will expand your mind to other possibilities. (Database LSD? Oh my!)
While there is a lot of diversity in the app programming world, the database world has been pretty much monopolized by SQL such that people stopped thinking outside the SQL box.
I hope the memory of Pick, dBASE, APL, etc. stay alive to avoid a monoculture in database-land, and spark the database future to improve in part by assimilating the best ideas of the past. (BorgBase? Oh my!)

I guess finding out in wiki what "in memory database" is considered as innovation our days.
Seriously, why do people, and then I mean slashdot nerds, think 'fast database' and then think 'mysql' ? 'MySQL-compatible' equals 'bad' in my world and, in comparison with Oracle, 'not so fast at all'.
Religion is what happens when nature strikes and groupthink goes wrong.

I don't want my data stuck in a proprietary format ever again.
So if you can show a way that I keep my data in an open format, and ENHANCE it with your speed, that might be appealing.
DNS has issues (listed in detail below - small fraction only), no doubt about it! I don't use custom hosts to replace DNS though (since I use external to my home DNS servers that are filtered vs. online threats - list I use is below too).
However, I use hosts in the following ways (see my 'p.s.' below, in detail, for your reference) to COMPLIMENT & OVERCOME THOSE PROBLEMS IN DNS & OTHER MECHANISMS LARGELY!
Custom hosts files gain me the following benefits (A short summary of what custom hosts files can be extremely useful vs.):
---
1.) Malware/malscripted sites
2.) Known sites-servers/hosts-domains that are known to serve up malware
3.) Bogus DNS servers malware makers use
4.) Botnet C&C servers
5.) Bogus adbanners that are full of malicious script content
6.) Getting you back speed/bandwidth you paid for
7.) Added reliability (vs. downed or misdirect/poisoned DNS servers).
8.) Added "anonymity" (to an extent, vs. DNS request logs)
9.) The ability to bypass DNSBL's (DNS block lists you may not agree with).
10.) More screen "real estate"
---
* & more...
APK
P.S.=> Details of the above synopsis/short summary are as follows below:
21++ ADVANTAGES OF HOSTS FILES
Over AdBlock & DNS Servers ALONE 4 Security, Speed, Reliability, & Anonymity (to an extent vs. DNSBL's + DNS request logs):
1.) HOSTS files are useable for all these purposes because they are present on all Operating Systems that have a BSD based IP stack (even ANDROID) and do adblocking for ANY webbrowser, email program, etc. (any webbound program). A truly "multi-platform" UNIVERSAL solution for added speed, security, reliability, & even anonymity to an extent (vs. DNS request logs + DNSBL's you feel are unjust hosts get you past/around).
2.) Adblock blocks ads? Well, not anymore & certainly not as well by default, apparently, lol - see below:
Adblock Plus To Offer 'Acceptable Ads' Option
http://news.slashdot.org/story/11/12/12/2213233/adblock-plus-to-offer-acceptable-ads-option )
AND, in only browsers & their subprogram families (ala email like Thunderbird for FireFox/Mozilla products (use same gecko & xulrunner engines)), but not all, or, all independent email clients, like Outlook, Outlook Express, OR Window "LIVE" mail (for example(s)) - there's many more like EUDORA & others I've used over time that AdBlock just DOES NOT COVER... period.
Disclaimer: Opera now also has an AdBlock addon (now that Opera has addons above widgets), but I am not certain the same people make it as they do for FF or Chrome etc..
3.) Adblock doesn't protect email programs external to FF (non-mozilla/gecko engine based) family based wares, So AdBlock doesn't protect email programs like Outlook, Outlook Express, Windows "LIVE" mail & others like them (EUDORA etc./et al), Hosts files do. THIS IS GOOD VS. SPAM MAIL or MAILS THAT BEAR MALICIOUS SCRIPT, or, THAT POINT TO MALICIOUS SCRIPT VIA URLS etc.
4.) Adblock won't get you to your favorite sites if a DNS server goes down or is DNS-poisoned, hosts will (this leads to points 5-7 next below, & especially vs. the July 12th 2012 "DNSChanger" trojan purge that's coming soon (those folks won't get to sites if infested - I will, due to hardcodes in my hosts file of my fav. 20 sites + using BETTER filtering DNS servers (see list below))...
5.) Adblock doesn't allow you to hardcode in your favorite websites into it so you don't make DNS server calls and so you can avoid tracking by DNS request logs, OR make you reach them faster since you resolve host-domain names LOCALLY w/ hosts out of cached memory, hosts do ALL of those things (DNS servers are also being abused by the Chinese lately and by the Kaminsky flaw ->

No, you like to *try* to impersonate me as you're doing here (projecting your own "StRaNgE-TaSteS"), & you like to "eat your own words", here:

Does it really take a long time to parse " SELECT * FROM customer" or whatever?
Doesn't prepare() usually precompile selects.
Their methodology is like assembling a car, making a drag race against a civic, and claiming you have the fastest car because it beat it very badly.
Well said if I do say so myself !!
See subject-line above, trolls (those who downmodded my post for no valid technical reasons) - offtopic illogical failing ad hominem attack attempts & a bogus downmod of my post in "effete retaliation" due to "geek angst" @ my doubtless utterly repeatedly THRASHING you in technical debates?
IS THAT THE "BEST YOU"VE GOT"??
* Absolutely, & obviously...
Whose fault is it if you're nothing more than a "NE'ER-DO-WELL"? Hmmm?? Not mine... it's yours.
(Seek professional help then. Get over it, & grow up. It's not MY fault after all, if I accomplish good things in the art & science of computing, & you're nothing but a "ne'er-do-well" armchair quarterback, lol!)

Looking at the resources consumed on our production database (SQL Server) over the last few minutes... Highest I/O usage: 1 MBps, average is near zero. Nearly all requests are happening in cached memory, and any I/O is to an SSD.
People here are talking about configuring MySql to run out of ram, update to ram, etc. But can't you accomplish much the same thing by not flushing the buffer cache? Or even tuning the machine so that the buffer cache gets lots of the ram? Doesnt Linux support lazy writes to disk? Why isnt MySql running mostly out of disk buffer cache?
Databases didn't use dynamic compilation of queries originally, so that's nothing new. Of course that performs better than dynamically generating a query plan. Even IBM DB2 on the mainframe still works this way. They state they use Write Ahead Logging. So do all modern RDBMS's including SQL Server, Oracle, MySQL, Informix, Postgress, etc. And the last claim is that they use SSD. Again, how is that specific to something they innovated? If you take any database and run it in memory (SSD really just being slower memory), it will run really fast. So what's new here? Maybe I'm missing something...
Try MySQL 5.6 when that's released: 90,000 read transactions per second... The preview from back in April was already faster than 80,000 per second and that's without the later performance improvements.
Then there's MySQL Cluster:
MySQL Cluster 7.2 achieves 4.3BN reads per minute, 72 million per second
MySQL Cluster 7.2.7 achieves 1BN update transactions per minute, 19.5 million per second
And that's not a toy or unproven database, it's what a lot of mobile phone systems use and has been around in the MySQL server form since 2004, with a long history before that.
I can't speak for others, I can only speak for myself
I've been in this field for decades, and the one thing that I've found is this ---
If you're talking about Performance - for most apps, it's almost the 10%-25% of the code that takes up 80%-90% of the data-crunching time
Or, put it another way, when there is a need to really tune up the performance of an app, you need to understand how the code runs
And to do that, you need to profile the whole darn thing, fine where it takes most of the time, and then concentrate your effort on fine-tuning those segments
But of course, if you are a perfectionist - such as Steve Gibson of the GRC fame, - you can opt to go all the way to assembly language (I love asm, btw) and do the tweaking

In other words, two guys spent just a year (wtf?) developing a database engine that manages to run queries in memory very fast, just like other database engines that can run in memory (that probably took teams of engineers more than a year to build). I wonder if they had time to write some transaction consistency code, because im pretty sure a 6yr old can make a program that inserts data into memory pointers.
Do they commit, or is "memory" a new form of "the cloud ... maan!"? Maybe they commit to the cloud? Fire and forget?

I am not sure about how an ssd fails, and what happens with the data on that disk...can you raid an ssd?
Having said this, if a failure on a hdd is eminent, you usually have it raided, so even if one fails, the transaction logs can be recreated.
This sounds like they managed to find a way to incorporate the writing to db log files unto the ssd itself, then transfer over to a hdd, but I wonder if during failure, you would lose 100% of the transaction logs due to that ssd not working. Anyone out there could answer this question?
MySQLs handlersocket (included since 5.5) does NoSQL-style read and write operations bypassing the SQL engine. While it has some limitations, it will do >200,000 queries/sec on a low-spec server and there are benchmarks of it doing >750,000 on a 8-core Nehalem (faster than Memcached!), and it's not restricted to in-memory operations. The nice thing is that you can use that for the simpler parts of your app, then use transactional SQL on the same database for more complex operations.
Another one to look at is TokuTek's TokuDB, another InnoDB drop-in replacement, which is particularly good for inserts, low disk use and low-latency replication. They ran a demo doing 1 billion indexed inserts in 7 hours when InnoDB took a week.
For distributed 'cloudy' apps, one of the better choices is Drizzle, which retains the nice bits of MySQL (and MySQL client compatibility) and rewrites all the rest.
I don't think I'll believe MemSQL until Percona have benchmarked it...

You know, the longer your posts are, the less of them I read. I go through the first few attacks, but usually stop when I get to the first new phrasing of the statement "I am God and you should cower before me".
I do actually mod you up when you make an insightful or funny post without being offensive. I just don't think I've seen that happen in recent memory. Instead, I usually see you post something silly about spending two hours to reconfigure Windows to save a few seconds of time over the next few years. Someone points out that it's silly, and you spend the next week insulting every aspect of their personality you can think of while giving yourself masturbatory praise.
As for my own accomplishments, I wrote the first research paper on and simulation of a particular emergent behavioral model for artificially-intelligent robots. A few dozen citations later, I landed a cushy research job working on self-healing peer-to-peer networks. My team has had interest from Blizzard and Skype concerning our techniques for running a peer-to-peer network with centralized but non-essential management. Fascinating stuff that could change the future of content distribution, but it's utterly unrelated to an in-memory SQL database, so this is the first and last you'll hear of it. I'm also not going to post my entire Slashdot comment history for the past decade, where over half my comments are modded up, and about a quarter are at +4 (yes, +4. Excellent karma posts still record that extra vote up, even though it's only shown in one place). I'd love to simply send you a link to my Slashdot user page, but I've seen you stalk people before, derailing their topical discussions with your inane banter.
That leads me to the next issue. I don't think I've ever seen you actually win an argument. You've ended many, but not through any display of logic or analysis. This is supposedly a discussion forum, but you don't discuss. You assume any disagreement is an attack against you, so in a combination of arrogance and victimization, you attack everyone else trying to have a conversation, accusing them of being "armchair quarterbacks" and "ne'er-do-wells". Rather than actually debate an issue, you simply offend people to the point they don't want to deal with you any more.

You're pinned by your erroneous words and unwillingness to answer a simple question. APK never once said he was the first to implement this, and by calling him a fraud you're libeling him. APK stated he did it as far back as 1996-1997. So who did it first, apk or the people this article's about? Answer it. I'll ask that question too since it's quite amusing watching you pussy foot around trying to avoid answering because it will floor you completely, topping off your other reprehensible behaviour in altering quotes of apk's words and implying things apk never once literally stated. You're no professor as you claim. You said you were leaving for the weekend, another lie. There's no reason to believe someone that has been caught lying, altering the words of others, or making accusations or implications that aren't truths.
I doubt very much anyone else cares to read this deep into such a silly thread. Nice try, though. I'm impressed that you managed to use only a single paragraph this time.
-Totally not Mr. H
Who did in memory db devices first: APK or MemSQL? Answer it. Either one named is enough. All APK stated was he did it in 1996-1997. He never said he was the first person on earth to do so. Why are you evading his simple question above then?
So much for alleged academics which you can't even prove either. I can prove this though (thanks to apk and this website) Why-Published-Research-Findings-Are-Often-False http://science.slashdot.org/story/11/01/02/1244210/Why-Published-Research-Findings-Are-Often-False since they have such intelligent, honest, and accurate (not to each item) *professors* like you, allegedly (doubt that too by this time and your evasions of a simple question).
1.) Who did it first - myself, or MemSQL?
and
2.) Did I ever once said I was the 1st person on earth doing in-memory databases??

Heck - I was using db devices in memory as far back as 1994 with DBase III in fact...

(Let's see - you've already admitted misquoting me &/or altering my words quoted, you can't PROVE you're a professsor and your evasions here certainly don't help, neither did your lies that you were leaving for the weekend, but yet you're still posting... lol!)

Of the two options presented, I most believe that the MemSQL team has beaten you to producing anything functional. You seem too incoherent to actually produce a useful program. The extent of your contributions to the world appears to be a list of anonymous posts to Slashdot (the vast majority of which are either downmodded to oblivion or only marginally appreciated) and a few old programs in Delphi, including an alarm clock with "extensive hand optimizations". I find no evidence that you have created anything of professional quality in the software realm. You have, however, produced a good many laughs with your seemingly genuine incompetence.
I never claimed I was a professor. I have a research job at a university, used to teach (as an adjunct faculty, actually), and wrote a few papers describing a new model that hasn't been explored before. You're the one twisting words now.

1.) Writing up a program that increased the efficacy of their disk block device level SuperCache program up to 40%

2.) Coming up with an idea they posted on their website for using db devices on ramdisks). Both Mr. John Enck (Windows IT Pro mag technical editor) & myself did so in fact...

"When I can, I downmod you not because I'm trying to hide what you say, but because the vast majority of your posts are full of ad hominem attacks and grandstanding your own ridiculously meager accomplishments." - by Anonymous Coward on Tuesday June 26, @03:13PM (#40456437)
Ah, yes - the only "weapon" a consistently defeated troll stinging in "geek angst" has - the unjustified & invalid downmod!
While you trolled by ac posts too, no less!
FUNNY how You're still "stinging" in "geek angst" from taking SO MANY BEATINGS @ MY HANDS, you have to resort to that, you stalking troll?
LMAO! You fail... badly!
Let see:
1.) You're busted ac trolling
2.) You're busted partially quoting my words &/or altering them
3.) You're avoiding questions
4.) You've libeled myself
5.) You evaded simple questions 10x by now & more (which came first, 1996 or 2012?)
However - you've already shown us that's "how you roll", isn't it, Sarten-X? Head over heels vs. myself... lol!
(So much for academics:
)
This? You KNOW I've just GOTTA say it (especially now):
This? This was just "too, Too, TOO EASY - just '2EZ'" & thanks for making me LOOK GOOD, as per your usual by failing to me, but doing so in such a reprehensible manner above, it's astounding... astoundingly FUNNY!
... apk
Quit evading a simple question:
---
1.) Who did it first - myself (1996 on SuperDisk), or MemSQL?
and
2.) Did I ever once said I was the 1st person on earth doing in-memory databases??
--
(Answer the SIMPLE QUESTIONS above, that's all!)
Hey everyone - are you ready to see Sarten-X "Run, Forrest - RUN!!!", again?

"I have a research job at a university, used to teach (as an adjunct faculty, actually)" - by Sarten-X (1102295) on Thursday June 28, @12:29PM (#40479707)
Yes, this old adage/saying FITS YOU TO A TEE:
"Those who can, DO. Those who can't, TEACH"...
Proof? Simple:
You trolled me by anonymous posts like the coward you TRULY evidence yourself to be, & obviously screwed up afterwards by forgetting to push the "post as ac button", lol...
Thus - You show us all reading that you can't "take me on" face-to-face like a man, & you act like a BITCH (being as forthcoming as I can be about it, & blunt).

"I wrote the first research paper " - by Anonymous Coward on Wednesday June 27, @11:05AM (#40467581)
While trolling myself by ac posts @ THAT POINT @ least, before you screwed up & forgot to push the "AC" submit instead, no less!
Yea - Those who CAN, DO. Those that CAN'T, TEACH...

Especially based on your PRIOR big FAILS vs. myself of which I showed a couple here:

Sarten-X runs from a simple challenge to show he's done more, earlier, & BETTER than I have numerous times in respected publications (books/magazines/newpapers), commercial software code to his name/credit from a certified Microsoft Partner, excellent showings @ highly esteemed trade shows in computing (all of which I did before this stooge Sarten-X was born I wager):

Now, you're "topping it off" with THIS UTTER "FAIL" OF YOURS AGAIN NOW!
I love it - In this exchange, you're not only caught:
---
A.) Altering my words quoted
B.) Also trolling by AC too?? LOL - shame, Shame, SHAME on you, troll!
C.) Trying to put words in my mouth I never stated.
D.) Running away from 2 simple questions above...
---
& more of reprehensible nature!
You've shown us You're a GLUTTON FOR PUNISHMENT - because I posted a couple posts you've lost badly to in the past to myself, but there's more too!
APK
P.S.=> Oh, it gets BETTER, because this little DOUCHE Sarten-X also not only trolls me by AC posts, but also downmods my posts unjustly for no valid reasons:

Spoken by a "ne'er-do-well" who can't produce proof of anything worthwhile he has ever done that others in respected trade publications, books, magazines, newspapers, highly esteemed trade show contests like MS TechEd, & commercially sold code to his name/credit by a certified Microsoft partner
You avoid 2 simple questions - have some balls, answer them:
---
1.) QUESTION - Who did it first: Myself (1996 on SuperDisk), or MemSQL?
and
2.) QUESTION: Did I ever once said I was the 1st person on earth doing in-memory databases??
