It's your job to:
|
||||
- Drop the ghost table (at your leisure, you should be aware that a `DROP` can be a lengthy operation)
|
||||
- Start replication back (via `START SLAVE`)
|
||||
|
||||
### Examples
|
||||
|
||||
Simple:
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
$ gh-osc --host=myhost.com --conf=/etc/gh-ost.cnf --database=test --table=sample_table --alter="engine=innodb" --chunk-size=2000 --max-load=Threads_connected=20 --initially-drop-ghost-table --initially-drop-old-table --test-on-replica --verbose --execute
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Elaborate:
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
$ gh-osc --host=myhost.com --conf=/etc/gh-ost.cnf --database=test --table=sample_table --alter="engine=innodb" --chunk-size=2000 --max-load=Threads_connected=20 --switch-to-rbr --initially-drop-ghost-table --initially-drop-old-table --test-on-replica --postpone-swap-tables-flag-file=/tmp/ghost-postpone.flag --exact-rowcount --allow-nullable-unique-key --verbose --execute
|
||||
```
|
||||
- Count exact number of rows (makes ETA estimation very good). This goes at the expense of paying the time for issuing a `SELECT COUNT(*)` on your table. We use this lovingly.
|
||||
- Automatically switch to `RBR` if replica is configured as `SBR`. See also: [migrating with SBR](migrating-with-sbr.md)
|
||||
- allow iterating on a `UNIQUE KEY` that has `NULL`able columns (at your own risk)
