extending a database over several servers

Hi, Is it possible to extend a MySQL database over several servers in such a way that when space is exhausted on one server, a second machine can be added and used? Cordially, Daniel Page

Re: extending a database over several servers

Yes and no.. mySQL itself cannot do this.. If you need to keep growing in size (on 1 server) you may want to look at some kind of LVM disk array/SAN you can keep plugging in disks and extending the volume.. I do kinda of what you are looking for with 1 application, but it is all software
