I have read a bit about this part as I'm always curious about synchronous multi-master clustering support in DBs. From Are people here referring to NDB Cluster? From reading the white papers I was kind of wondering how this could in any way be used in the typical (outside big corporations) requirements. Is somebody here actually using this? And I'm not talking about asynchronous replication, I'm talking about real multi-master cluster with guaranteed integrity. > - Easy reliable replication Hmmm. Way back when we used it, it wasn't reliable. Every now and then slaves had to be completely rebuild. And it also wasn't straightforward as soon as something wasn't as expected. > > AGAINST MySQL > - Lack of deferred constraints > - Lack of transactional DDL (roll back failing migrations for example).
