MySQL Database Setup

For replication between MySQL hosts, you must configure each MySQL database server to support the required user names and core MySQL configuration.

important

For MySQL extraction, Tungsten Replicator must have write access to the database so that status and progress information can be recorded correctly.

note

Native MySQL replication should not be running when you install Tungsten. The replication service will be completely handled by Tungsten Replicator, and the normal replication, management and monitoring techniques will not provide you with the information you need.

Before configuring MySQL, ensure you have followed all the other requirements outlined in "Requirements" and "Host Configuration".
