RE: [PHP-DB] MySQL Clustering, redundancy

Thanks for your response Adam! Do you know if there is any way MySQL can be spread across multiple machines? I am looking at a huge application for a client, that will need to support thousands of simultaneous users. I am wondering if MySQL can handle load like that. That's why I was asking about clustering MySQL servers for the ability to handle more users simultaneously. Has anyone had any experience with a large scale application on MySQL?

However, since the info in the manual is kind of sparse so I would hop on google and do a search for specific instructions on how to do it when your ready, but to answer your question, yes, MySQL does do Redundancy/Failover. (Ofcourse you must take account of this in your code interacting with the server, but the data will be sync'd).
