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?"

  1. Off topic, but it's not. Why PDF and not HTML? by jerryasher · · Score: 2, Offtopic

    PDF blows.

    I hate PDF links. On Windows the experience is great, let's come to a complete halt as I watch CPU load hit 100%, wait for a splash screen, and watch the damned thing decide to show me the text at 245% zoom.

    What a load of shit.

    What's wrong with HTML as a virus free, pleasant to experience, documentation format?

    Just say no to PDF.
