作者:云舒 What is MySQL Proxy? MySQL Proxy is a simple program that sits between your client and MySQL server(s) that can monitor, analyze or transform their communication. Its flexibility allows for unlimited uses; common ones include: load balancing; failover; query analysis; query filtering and modification; and many more. 可以看到,MySQL Proxy的主要作用是用来做负载均衡,数据库读写分离的。但是需要注意的是,MySQL Proxy还有个强大的扩展功能就是支持Lua语言——魔兽也是使用了Lua来开发游戏,据我所知网易也是——可以参见云风的博客。这样一种扩展,就给了我让他做别的事情的思路——防止注入攻击。
