The setup
The setup is very simple and straightforward. It's a pair of Debian servers with a Gigabit link in between. MySQL is stable Debian Lenny version and OS is Debian Lenny.
Configuration
The dump has been inserted on both nodes and replication has been activated.
The "SHOW MASTER STATUS" commands on the master gives the following information :
+------------------+----------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+------------------+
| File | Position | Binlog_Do_DB | Binlog_Ignore_DB |
+------------------+----------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+------------------+
| mysql-bin.000025 | 98 | smc, smc_allais, smc_montgenevre, smc_preprod, smc_resto, smc_resto, smc_richermoz, smc_sct, smc_skd, smc_skishop, smc_skiteam | |
+------------------+----------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+------------------+
The "SHOW SLAVE STATUS" command on the slave gives the following information :
*************************** 1. row ***************************

The "SHOW PROCESSLIST" command on the slave gives the following information :

EDIT – Logs
In the slave logs, I get the following information :
Oct 27 11:48:37 bdd2 mysqld[28477]: 101027 11:48:37 [Note] Slave SQL thread initialized, starting replication in log 'mysql-bin.000027' at position 98, relay log './mysqld-relay-bin.000001' position: 4
Oct 27 11:48:37 bdd2 mysqld[28477]: 101027 11:48:37 [Note] Slave I/O thread: connected to master 'bdd1@188.165.221.122:3306', replication started in log 'mysql-bin.000027' at position 98
EDIT – Disk space
Disk space on both servers is sufficient. MySQL is in /data for bdd1 and in /home for bdd2.
bdd1:~# df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/md1 20G 3.4G 16G 19% /
tmpfs 5.9G 0 5.9G 0% /lib/init/rw
udev 10M 2.8M 7.3M 28% /dev
tmpfs 5.9G 0 5.9G 0% /dev/shm
/dev/md2 51G 2.7G 48G 6% /data
bdd2:~# df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/md1 10G 2.6G 6.9G 27% /
tmpfs 5.9G 0 5.9G 0% /lib/init/rw
udev 10M 2.8M 7.3M 28% /dev
tmpfs 5.9G 0 5.9G 0% /dev/shm
/dev/md2 64G 8.0G 53G 14% /home
Considering the above information, everything seems to be running perfectly fine yet in reality no data gets copied over. I modify the master database and no changes show up on the slave database.
What am I doing wrong ?
Best Answer
If you never 'USE' a database, and always fully qualify your database in your queries, your queries won't be written to the binary log when using 'Binlog_Do_DB'.
From http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/replication-options-binary-log.html#option_mysqld_binlog-do-db
For those reasons, I never use the
do_db/ignore_dbvariables.
