is it clear how this works? i can't work out what a memcache query would look like. is the key that SQL select statement as a string?

It's just a memcache API call.

It doesn't even go over the SQL interface, it's not text-based.

so there's no cross-use at all? it's just a memcache api implementation that happens to be implemented in the same software package as mysql?

This part of the manual lists several advantages as compared to simply packaging MySQL and memcached together, the first two probably being the most significant.

thanks. so the advantage seems to be that it's persistent (and in a way that's integrated with existing mysql system mgmt for backups etc).
