I like to share with you all, an interesting article about eBay's deployment of database arrays.
http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1759,1640234,00.asp Specifically on page 2, Marty Abbott (eBay's VP of Technology) states that eBay has four equal data centers. So in this array scheme, a write in A would be passed to B, C, D. Likewise, a write in D, would be passed to A, B, C. My questions are the following: #1) How was Marty Abbott able to make this database array work?? Is there a specific feature in Oracle database that allows this?? #2) Can eBay's database array be duplicated with MySQL?? As far as I know, MySQL only supports one way Master-Slave replication (which I have already setup). I saw S. Harper's posting in MySQL manual about his master-master replication, but it seems to be on the application-level, and not on the native database-level. #3) If the answer to #2 is NO, then is true replication on the MySQL development plan, and what is the timetable?? -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
