Slides and full information at https://conferences.oreilly.com/mysql2008/public/schedule/detail/2145
Even though setting up MySQL Replication is a relatively simple task, there are several things that can be configured. In this tutorial, the developers behind MySQL Replication start by explaining the architecture and concepts and walk you through a configuration to show what you can do with it.
After getting an understanding of the setup, the tutorial continues with examples of using more advanced features like row-based replication, cluster replication, tricks of using the mysqlbinlog client program on the binary log, and fail-over solutions.
The tutorial ends with a brief summary of the new features that are being developed and how they can be used.
