LOAD TABLE FROM MASTER (removed)
Syntax
LOAD TABLE tbl_name FROM MASTER
Description
This feature has been removed from recent versions of MariaDB.
Since the current implementation of LOAD DATA FROM MASTER
and LOAD TABLE FROM MASTER is very limited, these statements
are deprecated in versions 4.1 of MySQL and above. We will introduce a more
advanced technique (called "online backup") in a future version. That technique
will have the additional advantage of working with more storage engines.
For MariaDB and MySQL 5.1 and earlier, the recommended alternative solution to
using LOAD DATA FROM MASTER or
LOAD TABLE FROM MASTER is using mysqldump or mysqlhotcopy.
The latter requires Perl and two Perl modules (DBI and DBD:mysql) and works for
MyISAM and ARCHIVE tables only. With mysqldump, you can create SQL dumps on the
master and pipe (or copy) these to a mysql client on the slave. This has the
advantage of working for all storage engines, but can be quite slow, since it
works using SELECT.
Transfers a copy of the table from the master to the slave. This statement is
implemented mainly debugging LOAD DATA FROM MASTER
operations. To use LOAD TABLE, the account used for
connecting to the master server must have the RELOAD and
SUPER privileges on the master and the
SELECT privilege for the master table to load. On the slave
side, the user that issues LOAD TABLE FROM MASTER must have
privileges for dropping and creating the table.
The conditions for LOAD DATA FROM MASTER apply here as well.
For example, LOAD TABLE FROM MASTER works only for MyISAM
tables. The timeout notes for LOAD DATA FROM MASTER apply as
well.
