Memcached & Membase

Hi

I think this is a dump question but here goes.

If you read about how to use Memcached it is often like this:

//write query
$sql = "select * from somewhere where something=something";
//create an index key for memcache
$key = md5('query'.$sql);
//lookup value in memcache
$result = $memcache->get($key);
//check if we got something back
if($result == null) {
//fetch from database
$result_sql = mysql_query($sql) or die(mysql_error()." : $sql");
if(mysql_num_rows($result_sql)> 0) {
$result = mysql_fetch_object($result_sql);
//store in memcache
$memcache->set($key,$result,0,$ttl);
}
}
$content = $result->content;

... but if Memcached is used with Membase this check is done transparently right? (If in Cache go get otherwise get from Membase and store in Cache).
