Hello.
Replication shouldn't die if one of the participants goes offline. But unclean shutdowns of the master may cause inconsistencies between the content of tables and the binary log in master; this can be avoided by using InnoDB tables and the --innodb-safe-binlog option on the master. See Replication for part of the manual for more advices and switch to the latest release if you haven't it yet. > > think this is what i am going to have to do as i found more errors this > morning with the slave thread dead. now that i know how to setup > repilcation it won't be as painful this go around. my only remaining > problem with this is i thought that this shouldn't have happened in the > first place. am i going to face this problem any time the master goes > offline or for that matter the slave goes offline? > > > > -- For technical support contracts, goto https://order.mysql.com/?ref=ensita This email is sponsored by Ensita.NET http://www.ensita.net/ __ ___ ___ ____ __ / |/ /_ __/ __/ __ \/ / Gleb Paharenko / /|_/ / // /\ \/ /_/ / /__ [EMAIL PROTECTED] /_/ /_/\_, /___/\___\_\___/ MySQL AB / Ensita.NET <___/ www.mysql.com -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
