Hello,

I'm using MySQL 5.1 and I heard somewhere that the ndb cluster can be configured to not save your tables in RAM and instead just use disk. Does anyone know what configuration this is and is it possible to configure only certain nodes to store on disk and other nodes to store in ram?\

This is a bit of mis-information. NDB supports storing of non-indexed columns to an on-disk tablespace as of 5.1.6.

5.1 still uses a significant amount of memory for those indexed columns, and any tables not associated to a tablespace. But, obviously it is not nearly as much as 5.0 does.
