Hmm, how did you come to that conclusion? From every definition of
MPP I can find, GridSQL meets the requirements.

GridSQL:
- Acts as a single, large-scale system by means of shared-nothing
clustering (as does Greenplum IIRC)
- Partitions and executes independent units-of-work in parallel across
multiple independent microprocessors
- Is capable of scaling to hundreds (if not thousands) of nodes

What definition are you using, because I can't seem to find it in my top 5?
