I'll go out on a limb here. I'll put $100 US on the line that they haven't done anything of the kind. So far their largest accomplishment appears to be spamming the usenet.

There is no possible way to write code that can work in an environment where reads don't block writes and make it also work where reads do block writes other than, as you say, "the typical Java workarounds (such as attempting to recreate a RDBMS inside the Java core."

Their entire claim is utter nonsense. And as DR and Howard have said ... without multi-tables joins ... the product, excuse me the Beta, is worthless.
