<p><strong><a href="http://spockproxy.sourceforge.net/">Spock Proxy</a></strong></p> A MySQL Proxy fork (no Lua) that concentrates solely on sharding, by parsing incoming SQL statements and redirecting them across multiple databases. There are some limitations on the SQL that can be handled (no nested queries, joins across a maximum of two tables) but generally it looks pretty impressive. <p>Tags: <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/databases">databases</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/mysql">mysql</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/scaling">scaling</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/sharding">sharding</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/spockproxy">spockproxy</a></p>
