It allows you to connect to local as well as -remote servers. This requires you to enter server host name, username, -password, port and the name of the database. Therefore you can now -synchronize your databases placed on the same server or some remote -server. - -This feature is helpful for developers who need to replicate their -database’s structure as well as data. Moreover, this feature not only -helps replication but also facilitates the user to keep his/her -database in sync with another database. Other than the full database, -certain tables of the databases can also be synchronized. - -You need to fill in the host name of the server, the username and -password of an user account already there in MySQL. Port is by default -populated with 3306 (MySQL default port). Then the name of the -database should be mentioned at the end. All the information other -than the port needs to be filled explicitly for the source as well as -target servers. - -After successfully passing through the authentication phase, the -source and target database table names will be displayed. It will be a -tabular representation. - -On the left, are listed the source database table names. Some of the -names have a ``+`` plus sign preceding them. This shows that these -tables are only present in source database and they need to be added -to the target database in order to synchronize the target database. -The tables whose names are not preceded by a ``+`` sign are already -present in the target database. - -On the right, are listed the target database table names. There are -few table names that have ``(not present)`` appended after their -names. This means that these tables are to be created in target -database in order to synchronize target database with source database. -Some table names have a ``-`` minus sign preceding them. This shows -that these tables are only present in target database and they will -remain unchanged in the target database. The column in the middle -shows the difference between the source and target corresponding -tables. - -The difference is depicted by the red and green buttons with ``S`` and -``D`` letters, indicating that either Structure or Data are not up to -date. By clicking on them, they will turn grey, what means that they -will be synchronized. +9.1 (withdrawn). +---------------- .. _faq9_2: -9.2 Are there problems with data synchronizing large tables? ------------------------------------------------------------- - -Yes. This aspect of synchronization is currently limited to small -tables, and they must have a primary key. +9.2 (withdrawn). +----------------
