If I have an sql table that consist of one million rows. Let’s say a user table.

What type of software do I need, in order to handle 10 read/write every second. I was thinking of using a Java NIO server to handle the connections.

But how does the back-end Database work? Could I simply use MySQL on the same computer?

Any insight would be great. Links, reading, examples. books?

I know SQL. I have done alot of SQLite but never created a scalable system to handle this kind of load.

Edit update,regarding helios comment

how many reads vs. writes?: 50/50
do you need up-to-date-reads(no delay): YES?
how big is each item?: 10% is 10-15 columns and the rest is 1-3 columns
are you accessing them individually?: NO, non of the USER threads are interacting but there can be simultaneous DB read/write on same row, (just make it synchronized?)

    so you need 10 transcation/second on table with million rows.

    that is really neither huge data set nor high performance.

    MYSQL (currently 5.5+ ,innodb engine) , running on single server,can easily handle that.

    you may need read first five chapter of ‘High Performance MySQL’ published by oreilly.

    for nosql-db, i suggest mongodb, see http://www.mongodb.org/
