I'm looking for comments/suggestions on the best method to migrate multiple databases from one machine to another. It has been requested that both machines be placed into production and that a slow migration occur of services and databases over a period of time. I realize that mysql doesn't support synchronization per sey but has anyone done real time migration in small blocks. I have multiple services accessing the same databases. Although not my choice, they want to leave some services running on the old machine and writing to one db while re-writing code/moving other services. My inclination is to deny this request but I'd like to pool the community for comments. I'm very comfortable shutting down one db, migrating a whole db, re-point services and start the new db. I am just digging for a creative solution. I like creative suggestions/challenges.
Thanks in advance, Ross Anderson ______________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned by the MessageLabs Email Security System.
