Autodiscovery of databases

[Laurence Praties]

Hello,

I'm trying to set up my first mysql cluster at work. It's all looking good, the management node reports that everything is connected properly, and i have loaded some data into the sql node.

My problem is this:

<quote>
It is important to note that NDB Cluster in MySQL 4.1 and MySQL 5.0 does not support autodiscovery of databases. This means that, once the world database and its tables have been created on one data node,you will need to issue the command CREATE DATABASE world; (beginning with MySQL 5.0.2, you may use CREATE SCHEMA world; instead) followed by FLUSH TABLES; on each data node in the cluster

As far as I am aware, the data nodes only run ndbd and no instances of mysqld. If this is so then how do I issue commands (create database and flush tables) to them? I've looked through the documentation and some of the forums but couldn't find any info, however there must be plenty of people who know what to do - am I just missing something glaringly obvious?

Regards,

Laurence
