[Sqlrelay-discussion] reads from one database and writes to another.

[elijah <el...@ri...>]

I see in the TODO that the feature 'reads from slave and writes to
master' is under consideration for the future.

For what it is worth, I think this feature would be amazingly useful.
Particularly in the case of mysql, a cluster has many drawbacks and it
is often impractical or impossible to change an application to support a
master/slave replication setup. This feature in sqlrelay would make it
much easier to use a replicated database setup with existing open source
applications.

Since I have started looking for something which could do this I have
found dozens of posts from people asking the same question: can I send
reads to one database and writes to another? The answer people give is
always that you must rewrite your application to do this manually. It
would be nice if sqlrelay could be the answer.
