It certainly seems that the NoSQL movement is largely fueled by two facts: 1. MySQL sucks 2. Oracle is expensive

I'd love to see Postgresql get more attention, as I feel that they have scaling up and scaling out handled fairly well, whereas MySQL/InnoDB has a hard time even scaling up (which is why the Drizzle project even exists).

Does Postgres partition across a cluster? That's what we're talking about here.
