| The following features will be included in MaxDB versions to be released shortly after the first 7.5.00 version. These features will allow interoperation between MaxDB and MySQL. -
There will be a MySQL proxy enabling connections to MaxDB using the MySQL protocol. This makes it possible to use MySQL client programs for MaxDB, such as the mysql command-line user interface, the mysqldump dump utility, or the mysqlimport import program. Using mysqldump , you can easily dump data from one database system and export (or even pipe) those data to the other database system. -
Replication between MySQL and MaxDB will be supported in both directions. That is, either MySQL or MaxDB can be used as the master replication server. The long-range plan is to converge and extend the replication syntax so that both database systems understand the same syntax. See Section 5.1, "Introduction to Replication." |
