Hi,
Are there any solution to implement load balancing on one database between
two nodes of cluster?
Thanks in advance,
Leila

There is no native Microsoft SQL load balancing tool for clusters.
Microsoft SQL clustering is an availability solution only and has no
scale-out benefit.

If you have a web application you can load balance the web servers and
cluster the SQL backend.

Correct, I can't explain or understand any other of SQL clustering - no clue
on clustered-indexes for example!

Hi Rodney,

You mean a failover cluster?

While this is true, you could implement a scenario using n instances on n
nodes with distributed partitioned views. That means you horizontally split
up a database table and distribute the parts on different instances which
you switch to different nodes. You virtually join the table partitions by a
view on every instance. Voilà, you get "load balancing" and failover. This
solution is difficult to implement, though.

Best regards,
Nils Loeber

Thanks Nils,
But DPVs do not necessarily need clustering environment.
