If you find it difficult to scale up databases, try looking at CouchDB instead http://couchdb.apache.org/index.html

And how will CouchDB solve your scalability problems? I am really asking, because there website contains nothing exact about scalability problems.

I also tried to read about in the first chapter of the upcoming CouchDB book, but it only contains vague generalizations like "Erlang makes you scalable automatically" or "it is built on the same technology (HTTP) as the web which is proved to be scalable".

I am still not convinced.
