| When a web application becomes overloaded with traffic, one can offload it by load balancing and clustering the front end web servers. What happens when the back-end MSSQL database becomes overloaded? Does MYSQL offer load balancing and clustering? |

In the case of MSSQL, clustering is supported for failover only, not for load-balancing. If you need load-balancing, then it can be implemented in a middle-tier. Simon |

I mean an application server, such as WebSphere, WebLogic, Microsoft Transaction Server etc., which sits between the web server and the database server. Clients connect to the application server, which manages all the database connections, so you can use the application server to spread database access across several physical databases. Simon |
