Eric Frenkiel and Nikita Shamgunov have created MemSQL, a database which they claim is the fastest in the world.
They performed a test which shows that MemSQL can facilitate circa 80,000 queries per second while MySQL can facilitate only 3,500 queries per second. The video of the test can be seen here.
The reason it is so fast is in the name, MemSQL keeps all data in the memory, allowing for it to perform much faster than other databases.
Here is the official website: http://memsql.com/, "The world's fastest database", "30 times faster than MySQL". Very interesting stuff as I am currently learning MySQL in college, and I wonder will MemSQL be the tool that students are learning next year...
