NVM: Is it Not Very Meaningful for Databases?

Summary: Comprehensive empirical study of multiple database engines under PMEM AppDirect (persistent) and Memory (volatile) modes using common benchmarks. Finds Memory mode yields no clear performance advantage; AppDirect often speeds queries but I/O path and config caveats limit gains. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
