No such things would happen if the architecture is good.
If at all this would normally lead to performance improvement not
degradation.
The strategy to divide the Database onto multiple parallel servers is a good one
And a tried and tested one at that.
It would be anyday faster than a single large footprint database
cluster.
All you would need to do is pick up data in parallel from more than one
database to generate a report and very likely use a single database for
a transaction. 
And Gurpreet about your hunch on using a Free Software. 
Biggest of Internet Sites are running on open source databases.
And you have option of paying up if you don't like Free(muft as in
thandi lassi) software.
