Do I need MySQL clustering to do this? (4 replies)

Hello guys

I am a software developer, please bear with me for any confusion I may cause.

I have a current project that need to centralised data and also to distribute data to each branch. To illustrate the situation:

a) I have HQ (headquarters) that wants a consolidated data for all their branches.

b) Each branch stores data pertaining to their branch only (and global data as well) .

c) When record being added or updated at any of the branch, data has to be reflected at HQ as well.

d) Any record changes at HQ (for certain branch) must be reflected at the particular branch db.

In programming way, it can be done, but it may not be as efficient as the RDBMS itself managing the data. So, I would like to ask from fellow MySQL users/guru, is there a way to implement such mechanism using MySQL?

Thanks in advance.
