I have been grappling with MySQL for a project and came across this. If it works like it says it does then a pure Java solution will mean no MySQL install is required which is great. Also, I have a need for an in-memory function for data collection so, if I can have two databases one fast (in Memory) and the other backing store (on disk) running at the same time then I will be a hero!
