Column-oriented MySQL for VLDB

InfiniDB – Open Source BI/Analytic Database

Recently ran across some blog posts about InfiniDB, a MySQL based DW and BI analytic database from a company called Calpont. I *think* InfiniDB is their only product. I could be wrong about that, though.
There are plenty of things to like about InfiniDB – Multi-threaded and designed for multi-cpu/cores, ACID compliant, recoverable, supports SQL standards and online DDL, MVCC, dynamic data compression, and FREE! What attracted me first though was the open source implementation of the columnar storage. That’s the current biggie on VLDB, think vertica or Oracle’s ExaData.
