MySQL have made a new engine - BLACKHOLE. It just deletes data as soon as it gets it. Pointless. Or is there a point in it?

A quote from their site:
It is a reassuring piece of software that does nothing, and does it very well. That's a lot !

Software is the programs (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_program) that enable a computer (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer) to perform a specific task -wikipedia...
What task does 1 byte do??

It actually has features database administrators need, and handles databases properly instead of silently corrupting data or ignoring errors.
