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.
