Hello There!

I have downloaded the server but it appears that there is only support for Memcache, I am looking for Memcached (I am using a windows xp machine). My question is does membase support Memcached for windows so that I can use the setMulti/getMulti functions?

As you all are aware there is a difference and I was under the impression that membase had memcached. If not the case, does anyone know how to get memcached onto a windows xp environment. I already have memcache set up on windows.

Thanks a lot!!

Hi!

Membase provides a functional superset of Memcached.  You can use Membase to and configure either "memcached" type or "membase" type buckets.  A membase-type bucket provides additional features such as key-value persistence and replication, whereas a memcached-type bucket provides only memory-only caching.

Cheers,

Steve
