At my company, we have a master server and several slaves replicating off that master. All inserts/updates go to the master, and all selects go to the slaves. We have had some instances where we insert or modify a record in the master, and request that information from a slave before the replication has had a chance to complete, so we get old data. Do you have any sort of setup like that? -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
