Every single database sharding project I've seen has been a gigantic pile of workarounds and insanity, even if/when people got it to function properly.
How about "if MySQL doesn't do it, then much more expensive databases might do it poorly after a whole bunch of effort"
- gaius 17y agoHow about "buying native support for partitioning and hash joins is cheaper than hacking it up in MySQL"? I regularly work on DBs of 10s of teras with NO sharding or any of that nonsense.
- jbooth 17y agoHow much does that cost? How does it compare to 40k for 10 commodity servers at 4k each and no license fees?
