2004-11-09 Thread harm
Hello, I want to convert a table from innodb to myisam on the _master only_, not on the slaves. Is there a secret 'do this alter table only on the master' command, or do I really have to do some voodoo-replication-queries-skipping on the slaves? Thanks, Harmen --

Hello, I use a lot of SET-alike fields in my tables. The fields are used to store properties and such; every bit stands for a specific value. The fields are queries like 'where property_field & 1<<4' or 'where property_field & 1025' if you look for more than one property. Just your average SET be
