Thanks Fabian,
OK, it looks like that is about DB instance discovery and proxying to it, even if a DB is remote, so that it looks like it's local to a client. This doesn't address anything about partitioning and cross-server joints, for example, right?
Your observation is right.
Is partitioning support on the roadmap for 2010 by any chance? I do see http://monetdb.cwi.nl/MonetDB/Documentation/SQL-Roadmap.html , but I'm not sure how up to date it is? (and it doesn't mention horizontal scaling)
Please ignore that roadmap. We are working on several distribution techniques, but none of them are ready for use, nor doing the classical fragmentation thing. If we know more specifically what your needs are we might be able to advise/help you in some way or another.
