[wp-hackers] Alternative DB lib for load balancing

[Bart Schouten]

Thanks! That should prove useful some day.

>From what I see it is not a real parallel computing thing in the sense of 
it being really advanced but it seems to rely on partitions of the data 
set in order to simply say "this part gets stored there" and "this other 
part gets stored elsewhere". But perhaps that only makes sense because 
full redundancy would obviate any advantages; then again, we are talking 
about db-reads mostly so any regular 'load balancing' strategy should be 
sufficient or perfect for this as well... (?) . Actually, it seems pretty 
awesome.

Regards,

Bart.
