That's how MySQL does replication!! :) It literally feeds the logfile to another database server (there is a logging mode where every DML or DDL command is echoed to the log file). It apparently is robust enough for some people.. Of course the truly 'hot-shit' is using Oracle Parallel Server, which I have never touched, let alone used. :P --- Orlando Andico <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Mosaic Communications, Inc. _ Philippine Linux Users Group.
