James, thanks for the link. It looks promising. Since you have never used it, you probably won't know the answer to this question, but should I expect the checksums on the master and slave databases to be the same if they are in sync?

However, I worry about the possibility of the master and slave accidentally getting out of synchronization. Are there circumstances (other than a direct INSERT to the slave) that could cause the master and slave to be out of sync? Is there a way to periodically do some kind of full check to verify that the slave is an exact duplicate of the master? I thought of just counting the rows in all the tables on both servers, but that only tells part of the story. Is the a more elegant and complete way? Also, the servers are separated by a slow WAN link, so transferring the whole database across the network is not an option. -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
