Hi Xarprb, I am looking for a tool that syncs tables in mySQL. I have a Joomla website with multiple extensions. I need the data from one field copied to another field automatically. I am not that technical. Would this tool be OK? Are there better tools out there?

Thanks for any assistance.

There’s also a [less ambitious more simple tool] I built in Ruby
http://rubyforge.org/projects/table-syncer/
Enjoy!

Hi xart,

I don't understand some of your questions. Let's discuss further on the mysqltoolkit-discuss mailing list, please. There are some other people on that list who may be interested in the same things as you.

I have some doubt after testing your tool

1)what to do when we are trying to sync blob as pk?

2)There are some cases when there is no pk in tables,in that case it will replicate all source rows along with dest rows?
as you have mentioned without pk its not worth to sync!
still i have some cases when its required?

3)sometimes i am getting hash ref failed for even a simple tables?

4)I dont know perl so, how can i know when to use topdown and bottomup?

please reply its urgent
