Replicate a single table

Question

Is it possible to replicate a single table?

Answer 1

Yes this is possible. Have a look at the slave options of the MySQL manual. This still requires to create a complete binlog of the whole database though.

Answer 2

To sync specific tables again to one or more slaves rather use pt-table-checksum and then pt-table-sync

That should automatically identify the out-of-sync tables and only sync those.

Answer 3

I know this is an old question but this is for anyone who comes here looking for an answer:

CREATE TABLE table2 LIKE table1;

This will create a table with the same format and columns but no data. To transfer the data use:

INSERT INTO table2 SELECT * FROM table1;

EDIT:

It is important to note that this is an information transfer only. Meaning if you had indexes on table1 they are not transferred to table2. You will have to manually index table2
