Hi, If I understand correctly, the new names are simply aliases that point to either Zedler or Yarrow.
For example, the following all refer to the same physical server: * zedler * sql * sql-s2 * commonswiki-p.db.ts.wikimedia.org * enwiktionary-p.db.ts.wikimedia.org As do these: * yarrow * sql-s1 * sql-s3 * enwiki-p.db.ts.wikimedia.org * jawiki-p.db.ts.wikimedia.org It's just a case of how we refer to them in our code. (IMHO I like the new database-specific aliases) Cheers, Tangotango On Jul 14, 2007, at 2:35 AM, Sean Whitton wrote: > Hello, > > I am becoming confused with these three sql hosts.
