If you use row-based replication, I would definitely exclude the mysql database. The question is, however: how often do you need to change privileges or routines during this migration period? I would assume rarely to not at all; so why not just leave the mysql database out of the replication, just in case ? You presumably already set it up manually on the new server, so just let good enough alone. -- Bier met grenadyn Is als mosterd by den wyn Sy die't drinkt, is eene kwezel Hy die't drinkt, is ras een ezel
