Heikki: I agree that there a many issues to addres when trying to use multiple databases as a single database.
The C-JDBC project (at least on the surface) seems to think it is possible. Their web page is at: http://c-jdbc.objectweb.org/ They even have a way to use multiple controllers to avoid that being a single point of failure. I am more interested in a homogenous MySQL environment instead of a heterogenous one. If you have any insights into potential probles with their approach, I would really like to hear them.
