Hi,
If I understand correctly, the new names are simply aliases that
point to either Zedler or Yarrow.
For example, the following all refer to the same physical server:
* zedler
* sql
* sql-s2
*
commonswiki-p.db.ts.wikimedia.org
*
enwiktionary-p.db.ts.wikimedia.org
As do these:
* yarrow
* sql-s1
* sql-s3
*
enwiki-p.db.ts.wikimedia.org
*
jawiki-p.db.ts.wikimedia.org
It's just a case of how we refer to them in our code. (IMHO I like
the new database-specific aliases)
Cheers,
Tangotango

Hello,
I am becoming confused with these three sql hosts. I thought we only
had zedler and the new one as sql hosts?
Clarification appreciated; thanks.

hello,
it's now possible to connect to a database server using names of the
form <database>-p.db.ts.wikimedia.org, for example:
enwiki-p.db.ts.wikimedia.org
roa-rupwiki-p.db.ts.wikimedia.org
these resolve to the database server holding that database. the
sql-s*
aliases still work as well.
- river.
