Datamapper with a Mysql Master/Slave

I cant seem to find an开发者_StackOverflow社区y info on how to use datamapper talk to a mysql master/slave setup. I'm running rails3 with dm-mysql-adapter

You can use DataMapper's Multiple Data Store feature for this:

DataMapper.setup(:default, 'mysql://master-host/mydb')
DataMapper.setup(:slave, 'mysql://slave-host/mydb')

Now, whenever you'd like to read from the slave, use:

DataMapper.repository(:slave) do
  Person.first
end

Unfortunately, it doesn't look like you can do transparent read-from-slave write-to-master:

[...] This will use your connection to the :external data-store and the first Person it finds. Later, when you call .save on that person, it'll get saved back to the :external data-store; An object is aware of what context it came from and should be saved back to.

So, if you try to save a person you retrieved from the slave, it will try to store it back to the slave database when modified.

you don't have to do this in your application, but may Mysql handle that itself. That way, you can take all the benefits of load-balancing and high-availability with automatic master fail-over with you. I'd highly recommend this setup over a manual, application based load-balancing, as you should leave the persistence-layer out of the business logic provided by your application. This brings the already written advantages and makes your application more scalable and maintainable due to a better separation of concerns.

Have a look at the Mysql NDB documentation for the concepts and this tutorial for a quickstart in Mysql Clustering.

1) You have to instal the adapter.

2) Add requires require 'rubygems' require 'data_mapper' 3) Config my sql

DataMapper.setup(:default, 'mysql://localhost/the_database_name')

or

DataMapper.mysql(:host xxxx, :user xxxx, :password xxxx, :database xxxx)

4) Create you model objects for example:

class Post
  include DataMapper::Resource

  property :id,         Serial    # An auto-increment integer key
  property :title,      String    # A varchar type string, for short strings
  property :body,       Text      # A text block, for longer string data.
  property :created_at, DateTime  # A DateTime, for any date you might like.
end
