Hi All,
I'm using Mysql 5 (with replication) on CentOS 4.4 OS with 2 CPU and 8GB
of RAM.
Master & Slave servers have same hardware configration.
Now i want to know, should i use slave server for fetching read only
queries.
if yes, then how ?.
You could do it in the application logic, i.e. create a separate
connection to the slave server that you use for reading, or perhaps this
would be a good use of the MySQL Proxy <URL:

In any case, you should be aware that the replication is not synchronous,
so there might be data on the master that has not yet been added to the
slave. Various things can affect this, such as heavy queries, for
instance. Wether or not this is a problem for you will depend on your
application.
One option could be to use slave servers for users or data where
up-to-date information is not necessarily required.
