[storm] Relationships Across Multiple Databases

Storm doesn't implement automatic handling of foreign keys across 
databases.  What Storm does very well is not getting on your way when
you want to use multiple databases, even when the same Python classes
are used to fetch objects out of them (e.g. you have Person objects
on all of the databases).

That's what the statement in the front page was referring to.  Storm
was born specifically with this use case in mind.  In Landscape, the
application that Storm was originally created to support, we have
several different databases, and some of them have the same schema 
("horizontal partitioning", "sharding", pick your buzzword).

Each Store will represent a different database.  We can provide more
details if you're still interested, and have additional questions.
