Yeah, cool. That one rings a bell. There is a FLOSS Weekly on that one
too: http://twit.tv/floss35
I like this quote from their discription a lot and remember the sentiment
from that web cast as well: "Drizzle has been designed for modern
environments, which are 64bit, multi-core with gigabytes of memory." MyISAM
has some pretty lame (assuming modern db server hardware) limits on table
definitions that violating results in major performance issues. I like
enough of what I'd heard that I shared it with our DBA.
