yes!
Some days ago, there was a news in the Heise Newsticker (most important IT
news in germany), about MySQL clustering.

http://www.heise.de/newsticker/meldung/46511

"4*2 processors with 100000 replicated transactions per second" was the main
statement.

I'm sure, that this is the typical MySQL blabla: no transactions, but select
statements ...

I'm not sure, if iot is a good idea to go down with the niveau to such lies.

yes, you are right!

One additional thing: when updating from 7.x to 7.y, a new initdb is needed.
This means: If I have some GB Data, the RDBMS is some ours down for
upgrading. This is really no good situation. There should be a way for
converting the storage on the fly: Updating and let postgres do the rest
automaically.

I guess this is not really easy; but it is important!
