MySQL Master-Slave Architecture

1 Edit the setting file of MySQL

Normally the setting file is located at: C:\ProgramData\MySQL\MySQL Server X.X. The file name is “my.ini”.
Add following setting to the file for both master and slave databases:

server_id = 1             #every database must own a unique id 
log-bin= mysql-bin        #switch on the binary log function
replicate-do-db= xxxx     #The database needs to be replicated  

reboot MySQL

2 Operations on a master server

Create an account:

mysql>create user 'mysql1'@'x.x.x.x' identified by 'xxxxxx';

Give privilege to the account:

mysql>grant replication slave on *.* to 'mysql1'@'x.x.x.x';

Refresh:

mysql>flush privileges;

Check the status of the master database:

mysql >show master status;

The output can be something like:

|      File        | Position    |Binlog_Do_DB | Binlog_Ignore_DB|
| mysql-bin.000010 |    460    |   balabala      | manual,mysql    |

Record the value of “File” and “Position”, which can be used later.

3 Operation on a slave database

Connect to the master database:

mysql> CHANGE MASTER TO        
MASTER_HOST='x.x.x.x',                  #Host IP      
MASTER_USER='mysql1',                 #The account created       
MASTER_PASSWORD='xxxxxx',            #password      
MASTER_LOG_FILE='mysql-bin.000010',	 #value of “File”
MASTER_LOG_POS=73;                  #value of “Position”

Start the slave process:

mysql>start slave;

Check the status of the slave database:

mysql>show slave status\G

The output can be something like:

*************************** 1. row ***************************              
       Slave_IO_State: Waiting for master to send event                  
          Master_Host: x.x.x.x                  
          Master_User: mysql1                  
          Master_Port: 3306                
        Connect_Retry: 60             
      Master_Log_File: mysql-bin.000010         
  Read_Master_Log_Pos:460              
       Relay_Log_File:mysqld-relay-bin.000022                
        Relay_Log_Pos: 10450       
Relay_Master_Log_File: mysql-bin.000010             
     Slave_IO_Running: Yes            
    Slave_SQL_Running: Yes              
      Replicate_Do_DB:           
  Replicate_Ignore_DB: 

If both values of “Slave_IO_Running” and “Slave_SQL_Running” are “Yes”, The setting has been updated successful.

4 Multi-master-slave architecture

Do the same thing once again but remember to add those setting to the “my.ini” file.
For master database:

auto-increment-offset = 1.    #Initial value for an auto-increment column 
auto-increment-increment=2.   #unit for each increment

For slave database:

auto-increment-offset=2
auto-increment-increment=2
