Hello, we have a ms-sql 2008 standard edition. The db became too huge, about 8 10^9 records.the db files are about 4.5tb each. We cannot effort us to get enterprise edition to slice the database. We need partitioning.

So the idea is to use Mysql cluster with many datanodes. We already started to move data.

I wondered do we need to buy a licens for mysqlcluster?are there performance difference between community edition and commercial one?

Thanks Arman.
