Hi,

This is my first in this forum...so please take it easy if i made any mistake...thanks

So here is my case::

In our production system, One MASTER database and Two SLAVE databases...now i want to use one of my slave database as BACKUP database...need to mention that sometimes I delete some data from master database(company requirement) which replicate to two slave databases...

now my query is:: Is there any possible way to put some kind of condition on Master/slave so that my 2nd slave database will not delete any data....!!

any kind of suggestion will also be appreciated.....

This is not possible. The problem with replication is that you either replicate all transactions or none, by ignoring databases or individual tables. What you could do is introduce a trigger on deletes on the slave database which then inserts into an archive table those entries. That way you get to maintain all the deleted records but in a separate table.

Hi Ronan,

Thanks for your reply...now can you please give some kind of clue or any link which will help me to create that trigger...in addition, i have replicate one database and my database consist 72 tables..i want to put trigger for all tables....

Hi, unfortunately you would need to add in 72 triggers on the delete action. Here is an example of creating a trigger MySQL – Triggers « IT Integrated Business Solutions

Hi all,

I am facing a little problem on mysql replication...

In my test system,

master-slave replication(it replicate only one table putting replicate-do-table value in slave my.cnf)

In Master database,

prod_table(where i want to insert data from other source)
trigger after insert(this trigger will insert data to replicate table when data inserted into prod_table)
replicate_table(after data inserted, data will replicate to slave table)

now the problem is,

when i manually insert data into replicate_table, it replicate to slave database but when i insert data into prod_table, in insert data using trigger into replicate_table but does not replicate to slave database....

can anyone tell me where i am doing wrong???

hi thanks for discussion................

I found the answer from mysql reference(FAQ triggers):

B.5.12: Do triggers work with replication?

Triggers and replication in MySQL 5.0 work in the same way as in most other database systems: Actions carried out through triggers on a master are not replicated to a slave server. Instead, triggers that exist on tables that reside on a MySQL master server need to be created on the corresponding tables on any MySQL slave servers so that the triggers activate on the slaves as well as the master.
