What makes you think this would be easy? I mean, aside from the "it's always easy when you're not the one who has to implement it" prinicple. :-) You seem to want what is essentially a replication-like operation, without setting up replication. Or a mysqldump-like operation, without using mysqldump. If your table is a MyISAM table, you can directly copy the table files with scp or something, but then you have to think about having the server flush the tables first, to make sure that you're not copying tables that have some active operation going on them. Ick. Maybe mysqlhotcopy would suit your needs. You can run it on the "master" machine and tell it to use scp to copy the table files to the "slave" machine. It'll take care of the flushing and locking for you, to make sure your copied files aren't inconsistent. --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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?
