MySQL is different than the big databases like Oracle, Informix, etc. MySQL is 
comparatively small and fast, also cheap. As such, it doesn't come with all of the 
bells and whistles that others might. You may not need built-in tools like 
"clustering" when you see the relative cost. For instance, if you have to pay $50,000 
to get an Oracle solution to a problem, or could use MySQL and spend $10,000 on 
in-house programming for that solution, which is better?
