Clustering for performance

Hi,
As far as I know, clustering is used to increase availability of SQL Server.
Is it possible to benefit from clustering for performance (load balancing
or...)?
Thanks in advance,
Leila
No, SQL Server Clustering does not load balance a database across servers.
An instance of SQL will only run on any one machine at any time.
Cheers,
Rod
