Ironically, mysql has the faster write-capable engine out there, called BLACKHOLE. when you use that as an engine, boy is it fast. But its really, as its name suggests, pointing to the direction of /dev/null :)

mahir, write only support makes no logical sense at all.

hmm, i could start selling hard drives with write-only support and guarantee infinite storage and ultra quick write times. of course, since there is no read support, the hard disk will only be a file descriptor for /dev/null ;)

@mahir: write only? no, i can read and write, just fine
