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. -elijah |
