Absolutely, I'll share my real world results. I'm happy that I'm not the only person interested in the technique. I'm a little disappointed somebody isn't telling me there is a much simpler method of putting my database in RAM. The technique is only useful in a situation where the server has gobs of RAM so it might only apply to a small subset of users but it might speed up database access. And since it is being done by the virtual host, the guest doesn't need to know anything about it. This keeps guest complexity down. Also, I don't have as much Windows knowledge as I have Linux knowledge so it was easier for me to implement under Linux.
See,
This is where I get confused again, which type of database is it?
It is a Customer Relationship Management database running under InterBase on Microsoft Windows Server. However, because the database server is a virtual machine, it doesn't matter. The technique could be useful for speeding up any disk-centric activity.
