Question

MySQL Replication active but not working

Asked by: machineryhouse

Hello Experts,

Our environment is this:
Linux (centos 5) machine running MySQL 5.0.45
Windows (2003 server) machine running MySQL 5.0.45

The situation:
Replication has been setup on both machines, the linux machine being the master, and all logs and status' point it to be effective. However, the data simply does not replicate.

The following is the Master config, status and processlist and then the Slave config, status and processlist.

I've explored this being a firewall issue somewhere as the machines are not on the same network, or even on a VPN, I've opened a large range of ports, but to no avail. I'm at a loss.

What data does not replicate?
Before you setup the replication on the second system, did you backup the databases on the master and restore the four databases on the slave?

Do the databases exist on the slave system?

Based on the show master and show slave, the two systems reflect the same information on the binlog and where it is.

Do you use fully qualified table names in your queries, or do you set the default database and then use relative table names? That is, which of the following?

INSERT INTO HafcoLive.someTable VALUES (...

vs.

USE HafcoLive;
INSERT INTO someTable VALUES(...

I do not believe it would matter.
The log-bin, will only record relevant entries.
It is also possible that the mysql engine, records the entry as database.table whether you use the database.table or use the use database and then act on a table.
If the method of entry/update was an issue, it would be part of the replication spec i.e. for replication purposes updates,inserts,deletes must have the following syntax.

Sorry for the delay.

The databases exist on both systems and before I started the replication I locked the tables and copied them accurately.

I believe snoyes_jw is onto something. I ran 2 queries on a table with just one record "tbllocks" on database "HafcoLive":

Query 1:
update HafcoLive.tbllocks set lockType = '2' where lockID = '1';

Query 2:
use HafcoLive;
update tbllocks set lockType = '0' where lockID = '1';

Query 1 ran and replicated almost instantly. Query 2 ran but did not replicate. So this would mean I have to go through all my code to use database.tablename in all instances. Bummer.

The first way replicated successfully.
The second way did not.

From this I was able to correct my application and sort out my replication issues.
