Transients and DB/SQL

Hi Pippin,

Nice plugin. I made a little transient manager for a plugin i'm working on, so your plugin caught my attention. There's a thing that makes building a manager like more difficult: transients are not always saved in the db, but can be save in memory by Memcache, so SQL statements won't work. See this page: http://codex.wordpress.org/Transients_API

Especially this sentence: "A memcached plugin, for example, would make WordPress store transient values in fast memory instead of in the database. For this reason, transients should be used to store any data that is expected to expire, or which can expire at any time. Transients should also never be assumed to be in the database, since they may not be stored there at all."

Did you know and what is your thought about it?

At this time no, but it's something I'd like to look into.
