They have proven that SQL-based storage is faster than NOSQL databases.

The poster of the top comment doesn't understand what this topic is about.

This is actually a benchmark of InnoDB table access. You can query it using usual SQL-commands. But if you want faster access, you can use memcache API.

"Read-only" is also misleading here. This is just a benchmark of get command.

"They have proven that SQL-based storage is faster than NOSQL databases."

Too broad of a statement. 'NoSQL' is an umbrella term, and thus likely has several contenders for a raw QPS metric.

The additional step of parsing the query is obviated by statement caching. You're right though, it's simply a benchmark of how fast the query path is to the InnoDB buffer pool. The work is to optimize internal contention.

Very impressive results though.
