MySQL Replication I think!

Hi,

I have a local Access Database that is the management system for a business. They now want to take some feature online so customers can do some functions themselves.

What I am thinking is migrate the data to MySQL and use a local install of MySQL as the backend and point the Access front end at this. The internet connection is not terribly reliable so don’t really want to move all functions online.

I will then “replicate” the MySQL to a hosted install and use this to drive the online portion. Therefore any changes are replicated to each other. This I think is the best compromise with regard to them wanting “live” data given the flakey internet connection.

Am I thinking along the right lines. is this technically possible. My knowledge of MySQL is pretty limited at the moment.

SQL Restore takes 6-10 minutes to come up in Enterprise Manager

SQL Restore takes 6-10 minutes to come up in Enterprise Manager. We have a customer with hundreds of sites, and all their servers do the same thing. We had to roll back after an upgrade and we find that when just selecting “Restore Database” it will seem like Enterprise Manager is hung, but eventually it will finish. Has anyone else seen this, and is there a fix? I’m sure we could run the restore through a script, but I’d like to see what causes the Restore Wizard to hang when launching. This is on SQL 2000, Windows 2000 Server SP4. Server is Intel Xeon 2.8 Ghz with 4gb RAM and free space appears fine.

Restoring a MySQL database

Perhaps somebody can point me in the right direction. I have a MySQL database that I inadvertently deleted all records from. There is a regular backup I have which I can access, but I have no idea where the MySQL database tables reside in the system.

I have the root password and complete access to the commands to restore the files from the backup. I’m just missing the location and have no idea where to look. I’d appreciate any suggestions or pointers.
