Question

Is it possible for mysql to create a distributed database ? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distributed_database

Answer 1

Sure. Any large site like WordPress.com couldn't possibly hope to run their entire MySQL database off one server. They use replication and sharding to distribute the database over tens, hundreds, or thousands of servers.

Answer 2

Depends on your definition, but MySQL Cluster may fit your need.
