The project I am working needs to support a very large number of transactions a second. It will eventually require a main frame, or some absurd hardware. It makes much more sense to consider a clustered configuration. DB requests come in from a row of application servers. It would be nice if these requests could be distributed.
Take a look at Postgres-R or Continuent (which is commercial, but they
have an open-source version).
