2005 Shared Nothing

I though 2005 was going to have a feature where you could face multiple
instances of a DB towards your customers with all the lock and transaction
bits accomplished in the background? The most common question I get about
Clustering is whether it is HA or really is a scalibility solution as well.
Avokia makes a piece that effectively accomplishes this.
Are you referring to database snapshots?

|||Hi
Clustering is HA and no Windows Clustering implantation is intended for
scale out.
SQL server 2005 has never has a scale out feature in it's feature list.

|||Database mirroring seems to be like what I thought I heard 2005 to have.
This would be more like having a separate server instance to improve
performance.

real-time read only copy of the data.

Sounds like a merge replication scenario to me...
