[edit] Presentation
- Abstract:
- MySQL Sandbox is a tool to install a side server or a replication system in seconds, in complete isolation, without need to remember complex sequence of commands.
- Administrators, developers, QA and support engineers need to install and test several versions of MySQL database server. Performing this task safely, without affecting existing instances on the same host is not easy.
- Using MySQL Sandbox, users can:
- Install a new server in less than 10 seconds, just by pointing to a binary tarball.
- Install an system of master + slaves in replication in less than 15 seconds.
- Install 10 independent servers in one minute with just one command.
- Optionally, install the above items with complex options, using one command, without need of editing configuration files.
- This presentation explain how to install a server or a replication system with MySQL Sandbox, covering the basics and some advanced options. It will also show the ease of use through the auto-generated scripts.
- Some real world examples follow.
- Requirements. To enjoy the presentation and try the examples, the following is recommended:
- the sandbox software
- at least one MySQL binary tarball (5.0 or 5.1 preferred)
