it is possible. Follow the manual for a good start. A couple caveats: - your application has to be able to send the selects to the different (read only) databases on its own. mysql will not help you with the actual query funneling. - be aware that the slave may not be up to date. All replication is done 'in serial'. An update that takes a long time will block all other updates from the master. - if you use 'LOAD DATA INFILE', make sure you do not delete the data file until all slaves have it imported. -- -------------------------------------------------------------------- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Collaborative Intrusion Detection join http://www.dshield.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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?
