Hi Tarun,
Let me make it very cleat that I don't have any hunch in open source
and thats why I am in the list but my dear, facts are facts.
(Is Amazon.com running on open source (database)? Is eBay.com running on open source
(database)? Is Yahoo.com running on open source (database)?
Surely NO...so we would certainly be interested to know some of your > "Biggest
Internet Sites running on open source".
Kindly show us any relevant benchmark to prove your point on your "tried and tested
approach". That (deploying parallel servers) reminds me of a circus.
Parallel execution of query in PostgeSQL? Try out and f'd for yourself. And also do
let us know if we can live without Foreign Keys in a relational world (MySQL)?
Well I would prefer (anyday) a muft thandi lassi than a muft "thanda" software.
Regards,
Gurpreet Singh Sachdeva

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.
