Hi,
BTW, is it feasible to replicate from MySQL to PostgreSQL (or SQLite :-)) in a continuous way so that one or two cuckoo's eggs could be planted in the database farm?
in theory, MySQL's 5.1 replication sends only row changes, so that can be used to replicate to different stores.
Though probably undesirable from an operations viewpoint, a real- time performance benchmark would be really cool :-).
Yes and yes :)
