I have tried to initiate replication several times over the past few months,
and it breaks every time. Sometimes it breaks in as little as 20 minutes,
sometimes it'll run for 2 days. I've got several questions to see if what I
am doing could cause replication to break.
1. MOST of the databases that I have are using the InnoDB storage engine. Is
that a problem?
2. I have a lot of foreign keys defined in these tables. Is that a problem?
3. I have triggers in a lot of tables, mostly for updating add (or update)
date/time fields is that a problem?
3. I use AutoIncrement A LOT for a unique ID for each record (a common
practice from what I understand).
We're currently using version 5.0.17-nt-log on our main server. My
understanding is that version 5.1 implements row based replication, which
may work better for me, but I believe it's still in beta, and I'm
uncomfortable using a beta product for our critical data.
Any help that anyone can give is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Jesse
