> SQL is a querying mechanism not an underlying storage protocol

My phone corrected "MySQL" to SQL and before I noticed the edit window expired. My apologies for the error.

Kudos for bring write on that one. I'm wouldnot have guessed it was mySQL.

I'm slightly less surprised because it apparently bypasses the SQL optimization engine and goes straight to InnoDB (per the other post). I have seen people write key-value stores based on MySQL+InnoDB before (sometimes bypassing SQL entirely).
