What seriously worries me is when someone that is supposed to have a
credible point of view on the issue states this:
<QUOTE>
In fact, it's just that high cost that has boosted the popularity of MySQL.
At $500 per server, regardless of the number of CPUs, major Web sites that
utilize it can afford to throw as many servers at the problem as they need.
</QUOTE>
Either:
1- the guy has COMPLETELY misunderstood what grid is and how it works
or
2- the guy is a complete ignorant...
MySQL simply has NO SUPPORT for "throw as many servers at the problem
as they need". It ain't work that way...
