MEMORY storage engine stores table data in computer system memory. This is good for creating temporary tables.
MEMORY is not the default storage engine. You need to specify "ENGINE = MEMORY" at the end of the "CREATE TABLE" statement to create new tables with the MEMORY storage engine. The tutorial exercise below shows you a good example:
>cd \mysql\bin >mysql -u dev -piyf fyi mysql> CREATE TABLE fyi_memory ( id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, title VARCHAR(80), count INTEGER ) ENGINE = MEMORY; Query OK, 0 rows affected, 1 warning (0.07 sec) mysql> SHOW CREATE TABLE fyi_memory; CREATE TABLE `fyi_memory` ( `id` int(11) NOT NULL, `title` varchar(80) default NULL, `count` int(11) default NULL, PRIMARY KEY (`id`) ) ENGINE=MEMORY DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 1 row in set (0.02 sec)
