that's all I have to say.

I thought that particular excuse for a database didn't actually do
replication yet? At least... not in any sort of way that anybody anywhere
uses seriously.

That may well be the point.

Well, mine was that he shouldn't have been trying. But I suppose there's
always management.

IIRC, tweakers.net experimented extensively with replication and
eventually said "*** that ***, we'll buy servers with more and more
cores and memory and split the different sections of the site off", plus
some smart caching in the front ends. I think they're up to eight cores
and 16 or 32 gigs in each of two DB servers, now. And it's not *that* big
a site.

Several of the big ones (Livejournal, Slashdot, sort of thing) who've
publisched details of their setup do essentially the same things on a
larger scale, sometimes with one-way replication thrown in which is at
least sort of working as opposed to two-way which really isn't.
