MySQL Table Replication Checklist
When copying table data, it is important to keep in mind the following points:
- Ensure that the target table structure is consistent with the source table structure, including field types, lengths, constraints, etc.
- Ensure that the target table does not have any duplicate primary keys or unique indexes to avoid data conflicts.
- Consider whether to also copy the auto-increment primary key field values from the source table to the target table, if necessary then a suitable starting value needs to be set.
- Pay attention to the compatibility of data types, such as date formats and character sets.
- Ensure that the target table has enough space to store the copied data.
- Consider if it is necessary to back up the data in the target table before copying it to prevent data loss.
- When replicating data, you can insert data using either the INSERT INTO SELECT statement or the INSERT INTO VALUES statement.
- Consider using batch insertion or temporary tables to improve performance when copying large amounts of data.
