- silverbax88 15y agoYes, agreed, which is why I find Fowler's (and others) documents a little hard to take seriously. They ARE writing to disk, and doing a lot of other work to try and keep the data intact in case of failure...which is what a DB does. I'm all for the idea of keeping some data in memory for speed, but moving it all to resident memory is just moving the same components around.
