New pre-release of the maxdb<->mysql bi-directional synchronization manager code
Let me stress that this code is not complete and has not been tested. This is probably not something you want to get involved in. Move along. Thank you. Bye bye.

Synchronization Manager: MySQL as replication destination
Earlier this week, I wrote about the Synchronization Manager and gave a step-by-step tutorial on getting an initial scenario implemented. In this article, I’ll expand on the previous tutorial by introducing the concept of uni-directional synchronization. Uni-directional participants act as destinations for replicated data. These participants are sometimes called “slaves,” because they are not capable […]

Creating a Synchronization Management Scenario
This is a follow-up to my earlier article on the MaxDB Synchronization Manager. In the months since my prior article, the Synchronization Manager has proved itself production ready and capable of replicating real-world databases in demanding scenarios. Take the following as theoretical and emperical examples of such scenarios (not necessarily in that order): i) For […]
