Having a clustered database solution is expensive and beyond most smallish budgets. mysql and postgresql don't have anything available that is quite ready yet (IMO), so you'll need to be talking to the bigger (expensive) players about their clustered offerings.


There are quite a few replication projects for postgres, aren't you writing them off a bit too easily? I know that for example the guys from Skype wrote and maintain one of them, I imagine they'd be quite concerned about HA. And there are a number more (see: http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Replication,_Clustering,_and_Connection_Pooling).

I suggest that you poll their mailing list with your problem/requirements if you didn't already. They're usually rather helpful and will certainly confirm if there's no solution to your situation (yet).
