Hi All. I use binlog_format = row for my production databases. In this format most binlog_format changes are sent not as SQL statements but in some other format. I understand that when binlog_format = statement is used, queries on master and slave can give different results, but should pt-table-cheksum be used in situation when we use binlog_format = row?
I've seen opinions that regardles of binlog_format the data on slave and master may differ. What are your experiences? Best regards, Rafał.
