i would like to use some kind of replication (master -> slave or, better, master <-> master) to provide better performance and fail- over. as i read, multi-master replication in mysql is quite problematic: i''m talking about duplicate key problem. so i was searching about plugins that make rails aware of a master- slave setup. masochims seems to be nice. have you tried it? i would like to use master for writes (obviously) and [master, slave] for reads. is it possible? is it possible to add more then one slave to database.yml? i didn''t test it by myself because of the lack of a decent computer, capable to run two mysql server. thanks. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
