Linux.com | Running MySQL queries on multiple servers
You may know how to use SQL to extract data from a table in a MySQL database, and how to run a query that combines data from more than one table. But what about multiple databases? Or even multiple databases on multiple servers?

O'Reilly Network -- Building a High-Availability MySQL Cluster
this article is about building a truly available MySQL cluster, which means it focuses on high availability, not on high throughput. If your database is suffering from too-high loads, you still might want to look back at replication in combination with LVS.

"I've used the site for, what, a couple of years now to keep track of what people were saying about posts on kottke.org and searching blogs for keywords or current events. During that time, it's been down at least a quarter of the time (although it's been better recently).

We also lost some time in configuring and troubleshooting Solaris servers as they tended to be more complex than our Debian Linux servers.

Three or so years ago when I was managing Solaris boxes, this was certainly the case. At least for what was right in front of you. This was because Solaris had a poor package management system, poor patch installation and more.

At least, out of the box, it did.

It certainly didn't have a nifty front-end like apt (though I did hear rumors about them porting apt to Solaris). This is where older versions of RedHat fell down, too.

There are packages available for Debian that'll upgrade a system automatically, but, yeah, no nice gui front end to manage a bunch of servers.

At least, nothing Debian will sell you.

But, if you're willing to pay RedHat for RHN, then you'd probably be willing to pay a third-party like Perfect Order to manage your Solaris boxes, right?

Isn't that backwards?
