If a master server does not write a statement to its binary log, the statement is not replicated. If the server does log the statement, the statement is sent to all slaves and each slave determines whether to execute it or ignore it.
On the master, you can control which databases to log changes for
by using the --binlog-do-db
and
--binlog-ignore-db
options to
control binary logging. For a description of the rules that
servers use in evaluating these options, see
Section 16.2.5.1, “Evaluation of Database-Level Replication and Binary Logging Options”. You should not use
these options to control which databases and tables are
replicated. Instead, use filtering on the slave to control the
events that are executed on the slave.
On the slave side, decisions about whether to execute or ignore
statements received from the master are made according to the
--replicate-*
options that the slave was started
with. (See Section 16.1.6, “Replication and Binary Logging Options and Variables”.) The filters
governed by these options can also be set dynamically using the
CHANGE REPLICATION FILTER
statement. The rules
governing such filters are the same whether they are created on
startup using --replicate-*
options or while the
slave server is running by CHANGE REPLICATION
FILTER
. Note that replication filters cannot be used on
a MySQL server instance that is configured for Group Replication,
because filtering transactions on some servers would make the
group unable to reach agreement on a consistent state.
In the simplest case, when there are no
--replicate-*
options, the slave executes all
statements that it receives from the master. Otherwise, the result
depends on the particular options given.
Database-level options
(--replicate-do-db
,
--replicate-ignore-db
) are checked
first; see Section 16.2.5.1, “Evaluation of Database-Level Replication and Binary Logging Options”, for a
description of this process. If no database-level options are
used, option checking proceeds to any table-level options that may
be in use (see Section 16.2.5.2, “Evaluation of Table-Level Replication Options”,
for a discussion of these). If one or more database-level options
are used but none are matched, the statement is not replicated.
For statements affecting databases only (that is,
CREATE DATABASE
,
DROP DATABASE
, and
ALTER DATABASE
), database-level
options always take precedence over any
--replicate-wild-do-table
options.
In other words, for such statements,
--replicate-wild-do-table
options
are checked if and only if there are no database-level options
that apply. This is a change in behavior from previous versions of
MySQL, where the statement
CREATE DATABASE
dbx
was not replicated if the slave had been started
with --replicate-do-db=dbx
--replicate-wild-do-table=db%.t1
.
(Bug #46110)
To make it easier to determine what effect an option set will have, it is recommended that you avoid mixing “do” and “ignore” options, or wildcard and nonwildcard options.
If any --replicate-rewrite-db
options were specified, they are applied before the
--replicate-*
filtering rules are tested.
All replication filtering options follow the same rules for case
sensitivity that apply to names of databases and tables
elsewhere in the MySQL server, including the effects of the
lower_case_table_names
system
variable.
