Re: What is the cost of replication?

We have advanced multimaster replication. I have spent about 70% of my time looing into replication related isues.

I came to site with no experience of replication, no documentation about the environment and no transfer of knowledge since the previous dba already left.

Now this may be because of the database environment we have or because of the way the other things have been set up or because of my relative experience of other things relative to replication...

Replication is painful when things go wrong. Also there are added performance issues.

But now over a period of time, I am used to it and can administer it much better.

Beware if you are novice.......
