I have a MySQL Replication setup up and running:
Database A (Server 1 as master) --> Database A (Server Z, acting as the slave)
I now want to use the same Slave Server (Z) to be a slave of two other databases; totally different databases (e.g. B and C), not other copies if Database A.
I've followed this simple guide: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-master-slave-replication-in-mysql
But when it comes to adding the second database to the slave server in /etc/my.cnf, I don't see how it's possible to have more than one profile.
Basically I am thinking I need both of these blocks in my.cnf on the slave server but it won't be that simple, right?
log_error="/var/log/mysql/error.log"
server-id=2
log_bin="/var/log/mysql/mysql-bin.log"
binlog_do_db=database_a
log_error="/var/log/mysql/error.log"
server-id=3
log_bin="/var/log/mysql/mysql-bin.log"
binlog_do_db=database_b
Is it possible, or do I literally need a new slave server for each unique database I want to replicate?
Is it possible to, on the slave server, have specific conf files for each database, e.g. /etc/databasea.cnf and /etc/databaseb.cnf so I can specify different settings for each database?
Thanks in advance
