Different mysqld servers may point to the same database. To do this, just define the necessary information for your new mysqld server in a my.cnf file, and start it with ./bin/safe_mysqld --defaults-file=/path/to/new/my.cnf & .

What things do I have to take into consideration The following are things I know that may be issues reading mysql.sock reading my.cnf database directory ( there is a parameter for command line operation ) I would suppose I would have to create a dual instance of the daemon script Anything else I might be missing? What should I do to make this work? ------------------- Why do I want to do this? Replication. One slave can not be slave to mulitple masters. ( as far as I know ). I do not want to have a so many servers as I have clients ( the replication is a saftey thing offered by us, most clients still have thier own replication server, but some just can not afford it, so we replicate for them. ) --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
