# Master Slave Replication

Master Slave Replication in windows, across two different MySQL versions(5.7.31 and 8.0.22)

## Getting Started

## Prerequisites

Download mysql-8.0.22-winx64.zip and mysql-5.7.31-winx64.zip from - 
```
https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/
```

## Configuring ans initilizing the servers


### Configuring options file-

For master as-
```
[mysqld]	//for group mysqld
server-id=1	//set server-id 1
basedir=D:\\111111\\Softwares\\sql\\mysql-5.7.31-winx64\\mysql-5.7.31-winx64	\\directory of mysql extracted zip
datadir=D:\\111111\\Softwares\\sql\\mysql-5.7.31-winx64\\mysql-5.7.31-winx64\\data	\\directory where all the data of server is to be strore
log-bin=mysql-bin.log	//location of log dump and also enables binary loggin
innodb_flush_log_at_trx_commit  = 1
sync_binlog                 = 1	//enables sync of bin log
binlog-format               = ROW
```
For slave as-
```
[mysqld]
server-id=2	//different server id than master version
port=3307	//different port than master as both are running on same ip i.e. 127.0.0.1
basedir=D:\\111111\\Softwares\\sql\\mysql-8.0.22-winx64\\mysql-8.0.22-winx64	\\directory of extracted zip
datadir=D:\\111111\\Softwares\\sql\\mysql-8.0.22-winx64\\mysql-8.0.22-winx64\\data	\\directory where all the data is to be stored
skip-log-bin	\\disables binary logging
```
### Initializing database

```
mysqld.exe --defaults-file="basedir_master\my.ini.txt" --initialize --console
mysqld.exe --defaults-file="basedir_slave\my.ini.txt" --initialize --console
```
### Start servers and logging in

##### Start servers-
```
mysqld.exe --defaults-file="basedir_master\my.ini.txt" --console
mysqld.exe --defaults-file="basedir_slave\my.ini.txt" --console
```

--initialize : initializes database directory
--console : outputs logs in terminal

##### Login

```
mysql.exe --port=3306 -u root -p
mysql.exe --port=3307 -u root -p
```


## Configurin master-slave

Create a new user for replication:
```
mysql> CREATE USER 'replication'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'replication';
mysql> GRANT REPLICATION SLAVE ON *.* TO 'replication'@'%';
```

From basedir_master/bin:

```
mysqldump.exe -u root -p --ignore-table=mysql.innodb_index_stats --ignore-table=mysql.innodb_table_stats --all-databases --master-data=2 > replicationdump.sql
```

Check replicationdump.sql for line-
```
-- CHANGE MASTER TO MASTER_LOG_FILE='mysql-bin.000003', MASTER_LOG_POS=609;
```
Import the dump you created in the previous step into the slave instance:
```
mysql -uroot -p --host=127.0.0.1 --port=3307 < replicationdump.sql
```
Connect to the slave instance using the MySQL client with the appropriate host and port:
```
mysql -uroot -p --host=127.0.0.1 --port=3307
```
Update the master information in slave server (take the replication coordinates from the dump file replicationdump.sql, as explained above):
```
mysql> CHANGE MASTER TO MASTER_HOST='127.0.0.1', MASTER_USER='replication', MASTER_PASSWORD='replication', MASTER_LOG_FILE='mysql-bin.000003', MASTER_LOG_POS=609;
```
Start the slave:
```
mysql> START SLAVE;
```
Check status:
```
mysql>SHOW SLAVE STATUS \G
```
If you get the following output, replication was successful:
```
