Hi,



Do you think the relational model could efficiently be used as the
basis of search engines such as google (calculating pagerank,
extracting results quickly).  if a database engine, say mysql, were
used to power a search engine, how much slower would it be expected to
be? (5%? 50%? 90%?  100 times slower?).  Or, to make things more even,
let's say we had a main memory SQL database?  Has anyone looked into
this or is interested in doing so?
