Re: Adding a second database to replication... How?

Thanks Kathy.

The "new" (already existing, just not being replicated yet) DB is on the same server as the other DB that is currently replicating. On the master server, I am not using any binlog-do-db statements, so the binlog should be for all activity. On the slave, however, I am using the replicate-do-db to list what database(s) I want to replicate.

How do I add another already existing database to replication without stopping all activity on the master server? I'm trying to minimize downtime as much as possible. It's almost like I want to do a "stop slave", then run the mysqlhotcopy, and tell the slave to start again and only go until that position in the binary logs -- then after importing the data from mysqlhotcopy, then I can resume normal slave activity after adding the "new" database to the list of replicate-do-db. The thing is... I don't know how, or if it's even possible, to tell the slave to only process the log to a certain point and then halt.

Any thoughts? Or am I just WAY over compilicating this?
