I'm having a difficult time synchronizing my Master and Slave Servers. I've been doing this using MySQL Binary Logs, where the Master rotates the logs at 1 hour times, and the slave downloads it and imports it. What happens why I try to pipe the binlog into mysql is that it reports and error that there is a duplicate entry. Basically what I want to do, is overwrite the duplicate with the data from the binlog, but I can't find a way? thoughts? MySQL Slave import command that I've been using and having fail for i in dbbin*; do /usr/local/bin/mysqlbinlog $i | /usr/local/bin/mysql -f -u root --password=l4ka5Tdj databasename; done I can see there is a -r function in mysqlimport, but of course the BinLogs are in SQL format and this will not work Any help would be GREATLY appreciated p.s. suggesting that I use mysql's built in replication is not help.
