1 看到MemSQL 的介绍后，花了几分钟浏览网站，阅读getting started并下载安装启动，在此小记。
2 MemSQL http://memsql.com/
其宣传Slogan 是 THE WORLD'S FASTEST DATABASE.YOUR DATA. ACCELERATED.
我们看到最多的中文介绍是 “由前Facebook工程师创办的MemSQL，号称世界上最快的分布式关系型数据库，兼容MySQL但快30倍，能实现每秒150万次事务。原理是仅用内存并将SQL预编译为C++。”
3 如何开始？
http://developers.memsql.com/docs/1b/guides/starting.html
- 点击右上角的下载链接 http://www.memsql.com/#download ，它会要求你提供email等信息，提交后返回一个license key和下载链接，我们下载developer版的即可。
- 安装
$ tar -xzf memsqlbin_amd64.tar.gz
$ cd memsqlbin
- 启动
$ ./check_system
$ ./memsqld
注：
- check_system会告诉系统是否满足需求，比如内核版本，OS版本，64位 等等
- 启动的时候，要加 -u root，否则会报fatal错误；如果你已经有mysql在运行，那么可能需要更改默认启动端口3306为其他端口，比如 3307
./memsqld -u root --port 3307- 如果你的RAM没有8G，启动的时候会有警告，但可以忽略。
- 测试
$ mysql -u root -h 127.0.0.1 -P 3306 --prompt="memsql> "
注： 这里-h不要使用localhost，用 127.0.0.1
进入命令行后就是标准的mysql客户端了。
