    I&#039;ve been looking for &quot;four fingers&quot; myself, having syndactyly on both feet just as you.
Seeing your craftsmanship inspirers me to buy five fingers and convert them by my self.

    I like this post and I agree with you that the components of federated systems are autonomous. Autonomy does seem to be a key part of the difference. But I think a federated system can have overlapping regions and so isn&#039;t necessarily a partitioned system. Also, I think there&#039;s a slight difference between partitioning and sharding. Sharding (it seems to me) implies that the pieces play the same role or are homogenous.

    Indeed it does not mean that, it &quot;goes something like that.&quot; It is an example of a linear relationship between two sets and as such they linearly correlate. Linear correlation is more complicated and I encourage interested readers to read the wikipedia article: Correlation and Dependence as it does a decent job of discussing the ins and outs of the problem.

    -- The reason is that things are always linearly correlated. What&#039;s that mean? Linear correlation goes something like this: if A depends upon B and I want twice as much A, I&#039;ll need twice as much B.

That&#039;s not what linear correlation means.

    Actually, the SA and Dev &quot;stick posts&quot; were so successful that I felt compelled to publish this DBA one. I&#039;m not sure I follow the &quot;get along&quot; question. I suppose if database folk are smart enough, they get along just fine.  Sure is hard to find people smart enough though...
