How to Synchronize MySQL Data to SelectDB in Real Time

As data analysis becomes increasingly important in business decision-making, real-time data synchronization and analysis have become key to enhancing a company's competitiveness. MySQL, as a widely used relational database, has rich data storage but cannot meet the needs of large-scale data analysis and high-concurrency queries. SelectDB, designed specifically for big data analysis, is a distributed data warehouse with high performance and scalability, and its excellent data processing capabilities have also attracted widespread attention in the industry.

When is it necessary to synchronize MySQL to SelectDB?​

  • Big Data Analysis Needs: When your business data volume continues to grow, the MySQL database can no longer meet the needs of large-scale data analysis and queries.
  • Real-time Data Warehouse Needs: If your business requires real-time data analysis and decision-making, MySQL may not provide enough performance and real-time capabilities. SelectDB, with its excellent real-time data synchronization and processing capabilities, allows you to obtain the latest business data in the shortest possible time.
  • Complex Multidimensional Analysis: When you need to perform complex multidimensional analysis, cross-dimensional queries, and complex aggregation operations, SelectDB's distributed architecture and optimized query engine can significantly improve query performance, thereby accelerating the decision-making process.
  • Data Storage Optimization: MySQL may face performance degradation and increased storage costs in big data scenarios. SelectDB's columnar storage and intelligent compression technologies can efficiently store large amounts of data and find a balance between storage costs and performance.

Drawbacks of Traditional Synchronization Methods​

In the field of real-time data synchronization, traditional methods have some pain points.

  • Long Downtime: Traditional synchronization methods usually require business to be stopped during synchronization, and the downtime can be as long as several hours, posing a huge challenge to the business.
  • Low Reliability: There is no observation, diagnosis, and repair capability for the synchronization process. If the source end is making structural changes during the synchronization process, it is easy to cause synchronization exceptions.
  • Long Synchronization Time: Traditional ETL tools have a long and complex synchronization process, which cannot meet the high-frequency real-time synchronization requirements.
  • Difficult to Ensure Data Accuracy: There is no data consistency comparison capability, making it difficult to ensure the consistency of synchronized data.
  • Data Delay: Some solutions can easily lead to data delays in the case of large data volume and high concurrency.

What are the highlights of NineData's synchronization solution?​

Our solution provides innovative solutions for the above problems, ensuring that you can efficiently and accurately synchronize MySQL data to SelectDB in real time:

  • Excellent Real-time Synchronization Performance: NineData uses advanced data synchronization technology to ensure that data is synchronized to SelectDB in real time, greatly reducing data latency and allowing your decisions to be based on the latest data.

  • Simple Configuration Operation: Provides an intuitive graphical interface, allowing you to easily configure synchronization tasks without writing complex code, reducing the operation threshold and error probability.

  • Reliable Data Consistency: Through the accompanying data consistency comparison mechanism, you can easily discover data inconsistencies that occur during the synchronization process, and provide one-click repair functionality to provide reliable protection for your business data.

  • Flexible Customization Options: Synchronization tasks can be flexibly customized according to business needs, choosing full synchronization or incremental synchronization to meet the data synchronization requirements of different scenarios.

  • Observable and Intervenable: NineData provides a powerful monitoring and alert system, notifying you of the status and problems of synchronization tasks in a timely manner, allowing you to respond quickly and resolve potential synchronization risks.

Step One: One-minute Quick Configuration of Synchronization Tasks​

Through NineData's data replication console, you can easily complete the configuration of synchronization tasks from MySQL to SelectDB with just a few clicks of the mouse.

Step Two: Manage Synchronization Tasks​

You can monitor the various indicators of synchronization tasks in real time, and you can also use the built-in data comparison function to automatically compare the data on both ends after synchronization to ensure data consistency.

NineData also supports replication throttling. If the replication task occupies too many read and write resources, you can limit the write rate to ensure the performance of online business.
