Even though setting up MySQL Replication is a relatively simple task, there are several things that can be configured. In this tutorial, the developers behind MySQL Replication start by explaining the architecture and concepts and walk you through a configuration to show what you can do with it.
After getting an understanding of the setup, the tutorial continues with examples of using more advanced features like row-based replication, cluster replication, tricks of using the mysqlbinlog client program on the binary log, and fail-over solutions.
The tutorial ends with a brief summary of the new features that are being developed and how they can be used.
Dr. Lars Thalmann is the technical lead of replication and backup technology at MySQL. He has designed many of the features, and is leading the development of replication, online backup, character sets and XML. Dr. Thalmann has worked with clustering technology for many years and is one of the developers of NDB Cluster, the storage engine used in MySQL Cluster.
Mats Kindahl is a lead software engineer of the MySQL replication team. He is the main architect and implementor of MySQL’s row-based replication, but has also developed the unit testing framework used by MySQL. In the time before starting at MySQL, he has worked with research in formal methods, program analysis, distributed systems, and as developer of C/C++ compilers.
