How to update data from localhost MySQL server to remote MySQL server

Question

I would like to update data for every action (insert, update, delete) that happens on a localhost MySQL server to a remote MySQL server. How would I do that?

Answer 1

Can't you use Triggers?

22.5.5: Is it possible for a trigger to update tables on a remote server? Yes. A table on a remote server could be updated using the FEDERATED storage engine.

From : http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/faqs-triggers.html#qandaitem-22-5-1-5

I wouldn't recommend this because you will be consuming bandwidth for every small change you do. You can try a scheduled job instead.

Answer 2

Enable database replication. It's not a great idea to flush frequently for performance reasons, but maybe it's an acceptable tradeoff?

Answer 3

Here is a simple and safe solution using a git server and works fine if the two db_tables don't change that much and don't have to be identical at all times.

1. Create a repository on your git server (GitHub, Bitbucket, other)
2. Clone the repository to both your servers

On the server you want to export from run those terminal commands

$ cd /my/repository/path

$ mysqldump -h localhost -u User_Id -pPassword DB_name Table_Name > Table_Name.sql

$ git add .
$ git commit -m "Table Update"
$ git push https://git_server/repository/name

The db table is now on the git server.

On the server you want to import to

$ cd /my/repository/path
$ git pull https://git_server/repository/name
$ mysql -h localhost -u User_Id -pPassword DB_name < Table_Name.sql
