Обсуждение: Parallelizing PostgreSQL for Cluster
Hi! Is anyone looking at making postgreSQL scalable across a cluster of PCs? That is, we have postgreSQL exuting queries which can be parallelised across a cluster, either something along Informix's method of fragmenting the tables across multiple disks, or Oracle's method of using a shared disk (global file)architecture. It would be interesting to have PostrgreSQL sitting on a Beowulf cluster giving Informix XPS or Oracle OPS a run for their money :-) Thanks for any info. Laurence
One of the long-term projects that PostgreSQL, Inc is planning on working on is exactly this, unless someone jumps at it before we get a chance to...
