[wp-hackers] New database class - HyperDB

[Matt Mullenweg]

For those of you running WordPress in high-volume environments, I've set 
up a mailing list you should join:

http://comox.textdrive.com/mailman/listinfo/hyperdb

We're releasing the DB class we use for WordPress.com to the world. 
Amoung other things, it supports:

* Replication
* Failover
* Redundant (public/private) networks
* Local and remote datacenters
* Partitioning
* Different tables on different DBs
* Advanced stats for profiling
* More...?

We're calling it HyperDB, and it's a drop-in replacement for WPDB, it 
just has some different configuration settings.

Anyway, if any of this sounds interesting, drop by the hyperdb list and 
introduce yourself and we can start diving into the code.
