Tungsten Replicator for MySQL operates by
Reading the MySQL binary log (binlog) directly from the disk and translating that content and session information into the THL. Using this method to read the binlog in it's different formats, such as the statement, row and mixed-based logging.
Remotely from the MySQL server over a network, including reading from an Amazon Aurora MySQL instance, for example. This enables the replicator to read the information remotely, either on services where direct access to the binlog is not available, or where we cannot be installed. This is also referred to as Offboard installation
The following diagrams show these two methods of extraction
Tungsten Replicator for MySQL is supported within the following environments:
MySQL Community Edition
MySQL Enterprise Edition from Oracle
Percona
MariaDB
Amazon RDS
Amazon Aurora
Google Cloud MySQL
In addition, the following requirements and limitations are in effect:
Tables must have primary keys (Only applicable when the target is not Oracle, MySQL or Postgres)
Row-based binary logging must be configured for heterogeneous deployment models
Datatype support varies, depending upon the target. Check applier documentation appropriate to deployment target for more detail.
Currently, DDL is only replicated in MySQL to MySQL deployments
