Comment on RethinkDB (YC S09) Raises $1.2 Million For Its Database For Solid-State Drives

Comments

"There’s obviously risk involved with trying to redefine how people structure their databases"

TechCrunch misses the point that Rethink is explicitly not doing this. The MySQL engine is below the SQL parsing layer, so as-is MySQL apps should be able to run against it.

That's in theory. In practice, MySQL has different syntax for different engines when you get into more esoteric queries.
