[mythtv-users] Database in RAM

[Joe Schmidt]

A friend of mine told me that MySQL might soon store databases in RAM, 
and synchronize to the disk every now and then. I had thought about 
trying to accomplish this with MythTV. Since I know when the changes are 
made to the database, I know when is a good time to synchronize (for 
example, right after mythfilldatabase or after indexing music). I still 
haven't gotten MythTV to work (waiting for my new soundcard to arrive), 
but I was wondering if anyone had any ideas about it, or if anyone can 
forsee a technical problem with it. The main reason I want to do this is 
that I have a ton of RAM and MythTV seems to be fairly disk-intensive. I 
hypothesize that queries made to RAM will be much quicker than queries 
made to disk.
