MySQL Server Replication Implementation

In the previous article of this series – Advantages of MySQL Server Replication, we have discussed the concept, basics and advantages of MySQL Server Replication. In this article, we will be seeing how to setup and implement a well configured MySQL master-slave replication for scalability and performance.

Advantages of MySQL Server Replication

Replication is a powerful feature in-built in MySQL Database Server. In replication data from the primary server (Master) is copied to one or more secondary servers (Slaves). The shared data can be all databases, a subset of databases or even tables only. This data replication is asynchronous, means that, slaves need not maintain connection to master all the time to synchronize data and request the latest version of data anytime they are configured to.
