Open Source Database Clusters?

Posted by Cliff on from the prime-time-league-contenders-yet? dept.

grugruto asks: "A lot of open source solutions are available to scale web sites with clusters but what about databases? I can't afford an Oracle RAC license but can I have something more reliable and fault tolerant than my single Postgres box? I have seen this recent article that looks promising for open source solutions. Do anyone have experiences with clusters of MySQL , Postgres-R, C-JDBC or other solutions? How does it compare to commercial products?"

    You can "cluster" MySQL? Does it involve "rsync" and "cron"?
