you can use SYS.ANYDATA and SYS.ANYDATASET if you use Oracle. I'm sure other databases support similar feature.

I agree with the CAP theorem and it applies to my example. In my example replication only provides a backup copy of the data and is not used by the application, that's why it's active-passive (provides reliability). This configuration prov

Sharding isn't scaling Sure sharding is scaling, although there are several types of sharding, with varying degrees of scalability. Usually people use a combination of both database (which what I was talking about) and table sharding (w/

That's only applicable to applications that does not require ACID. I've seen architectures where sharding + active-passive replication was used to provide scalability without sacrificing reliability (ACID-compliance). here's an interesting

As i mentioned earlier, you can have a highly-scalable "shared-nothing" architecture using existing RDBMS's. It depends on your design and implementation. Also, when used in active-active configuration, replication actually decreases the

You can add "features" to QNX to make it comparable to Linux. The only difference is, since it's a microkernel, adding a feature to QNX won't make the kernel bloated. and that is the whole point i am trying to make.

Compare Linux and QNX ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QNX ) and tell me which one is bloated.

it's a monolithic kernel what did he expect. Remember the Tanenbaum vs. Torvalds debate? I wonder what Linus thinks about it now. btw, here they are together. http://lwn.net/images/conf/lca2007/lt-ast.jpg
