Ok seems the "database" word in my sentence has been completly
misinterpreted. Must be a language barrier, sorry I'm not an english
native speaker... <br>
<br>
Of course memcached is not a database... I don't pretent to use it as
such, and don't worry I know *exactly* what I am doing and am very well
aware of all implications. <br>
<br>
Anyway my question was does somebody heard about an implentation of
memcached based both on memory and files at the same time ? Making
reading immediates (as stored in memory), and at the same time have the
objects also stored on disk (or regularly syncked) when writen for not
having to recreate them when the cache starts ups and not losing them
when the cache goes down ? I'm just exploring possibilities here...
even if I understand this is not the primary goal of memcached. We are
clear on that.<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>

Memcached is not a database. It's not designed to be a database, and
while it's impossible to keep you from using it as one, you'll probably
get burned unless you know *exactly* what you're doing. Make sure you
understand the implications.

exactly just that, but it seems dedicated to Mediawiki use only.

There is absolutely nothing MediaWiki-specific to Tugela; I don't know
where you got the idea. Tugela simply replaces memcached's allocator
with a Berkeley database; the change is far too low in the stack to
easily be able to be MediaWiki-specific.
