What's the difference between Replicate_Wild_Ignore_Table & Replicate_Ignore_Table?

Question

In my site's master/slave setup:

• Replicate_Wild_Ignore_Table = %.cache%, &
• Replicate_Ignore_Table is empty.

What's the difference between the two?

Answer 1

The Replicate_Wild_Ignore_Table option allows you to specify table names using wildcard characters. The Replicate_Ignore_Table option does not (only complete table names may be used).

See the MySQL manual for more details.
