Please note that this is *NOT* a way to "get them synched again"

In fact if you have to skip a replication statement on the slave then it is 
usually a sign your slave has different data than you master already.  Skipping 
statements/errors may keep replication running, but you're just masking 
problems.

Yeah Daevid!  I know very well the issue!

first set the slave to READ ONLY

[mysqld]
read-only

then there is a configuration option to tell the server to skip some type of
errors automatically

slave-skip-errors=

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/replication-options-slave.html#option_mysqld_slave-skip-errors


But, But, BUT!

What I did is to remove the constraint on the table of the slave so that you
can control better the thing.
Because if you systematically skip the 'foreign key forcing' error, you will
skip them with any table,
if you remove just that constraint on that table you have the situation more
under control.

I think one of these two are enough, the cron is very not recomended!

Ciao

Claudio
