no
Locking doesn't work with this, because server 1 doesn't know what server 2 does 
(locks) and
vice versa. And what shall the poor reading server do when the writing server just 
changes the data ?
Maybe, if you build all aplications round this, to always fully lock a table on both
servers before changing data, might work. But even then, cached data might be a 
problem.

Why do you want to do this ?

Betreff: MySQL 3.23.40 and 4.0.20 parallely on the same data-source


Hi there,

just one quick question I didn't find an answer in the docu:

Is it possible (stable and without data loss :-)) to run e.g.

  mysql-3.23.40 on Port 3306

and 

  mysql-4.0.20 on Port 3307

on the same machine (SuSE Linux with 2.4.4-kernel) !AND! on
the same data-directory without the two versions conflicting (e.g. when both version 
would try to change some database value within the same time)? How good is mysql's 
locking in that constellation?

Thanks for your support in advance.

Greetz,
Oliver Neumann
