Think of it as parasiting off the existing library of MySQL libraries for every language under the sun. It's why every key-value store speaks its wire protocol and also memcached.
- AdamProut 15y agoExactly - The entire MySQL ecosystem remains at your disposal when using MemSql.
- saurik 15y agoSo, not using the same actual SQL syntax? Just the binary protocol?
- tptacek 15y agoThe binary protocol for MySQL is not, as I recall, particularly idiosyncratic. It's mostly a vehicle for asking the server to parse a text-based query, return a handle, and bind variables to executions of that query (when I implemented it, MySQL didn't even seem to use all the functionality of the protocol).
