Q1) The MySQL site talks a lot about it being an "in memory" database.
Does that mean that we can't have a database that's larger than
available memory?
A1) Yes, it's in memory. The recommendation is to have memory 2x the
size of your database size + 10%. For a 40G database Mikael recommends
100G of memory. I would hope that the future might bring an option to
have some percentage of the data on disk.

Oh, bummer.  Any word on if they're planing a paging mechanism for this?
