CHANGE REPLICATION FILTER

Syntax:
CHANGE REPLICATION FILTER filter[, filter]
[, ...] [FOR CHANNEL channel]

filter: {
REPLICATE_DO_DB = (db_list)
| REPLICATE_IGNORE_DB = (db_list)
| REPLICATE_DO_TABLE = (tbl_list)
| REPLICATE_IGNORE_TABLE = (tbl_list)
| REPLICATE_WILD_DO_TABLE = (wild_tbl_list)
| REPLICATE_WILD_IGNORE_TABLE = (wild_tbl_list)
| REPLICATE_REWRITE_DB = (db_pair_list)
}

db_list:
db_name[, db_name][, ...]

tbl_list:
db_name.table_name[, db_name.table_name][, ...]
wild_tbl_list:
'db_pattern.table_pattern'[, 'db_pattern.table_pattern'][, ...]

db_pair_list:
(db_pair)[, (db_pair)][, ...]

db_pair:
from_db, to_db

CHANGE REPLICATION FILTER sets one or more replication filtering rules
on the replica in the same way as starting the replica mysqld with
replication filtering options such as --replicate-do-db or
--replicate-wild-ignore-table. Unlike the case with the server options,
this statement does not require restarting the server to take effect,
only that the replication SQL thread be stopped using STOP SLAVE
SQL_THREAD first (and restarted with START SLAVE SQL_THREAD
afterwards). CHANGE REPLICATION FILTER requires the
REPLICATION_SLAVE_ADMIN privilege (or the deprecated SUPER privilege).
Use the FOR CHANNEL channel clause to make a replication filter
specific to a replication channel, for example on a multi-source
replica. Filters applied without a specific FOR CHANNEL clause are
considered global filters, meaning that they are applied to all
replication channels.

Global replication filters cannot be set on a MySQL server instance
that is configured for Group Replication, because filtering
transactions on some servers would make the group unable to reach
agreement on a consistent state. Channel specific replication filters
can be set on replication channels that are not directly involved with
Group Replication, such as where a group member also acts as a replica
to a source that is outside the group. They cannot be set on the
group_replication_applier or group_replication_recovery channels.

The following list shows the CHANGE REPLICATION FILTER options and how
they relate to --replicate-* server options:

o REPLICATE_DO_DB: Include updates based on database name. Equivalent
to --replicate-do-db.

o REPLICATE_IGNORE_DB: Exclude updates based on database name.
Equivalent to --replicate-ignore-db.

o REPLICATE_DO_TABLE: Include updates based on table name. Equivalent
to --replicate-do-table.

o REPLICATE_IGNORE_TABLE: Exclude updates based on table name.
Equivalent to --replicate-ignore-table.

o REPLICATE_WILD_DO_TABLE: Include updates based on wildcard pattern
matching table name. Equivalent to --replicate-wild-do-table.

o REPLICATE_WILD_IGNORE_TABLE: Exclude updates based on wildcard
pattern matching table name. Equivalent to
--replicate-wild-ignore-table.

o REPLICATE_REWRITE_DB: Perform updates on replica after substituting
new name on replica for specified database on source. Equivalent to
--replicate-rewrite-db.

The precise effects of REPLICATE_DO_DB and REPLICATE_IGNORE_DB filters
are dependent on whether statement-based or row-based replication is in
effect. See
https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/replication-rules.html, for
more information.

Multiple replication filtering rules can be created in a single CHANGE
REPLICATION FILTER statement by separating the rules with commas, as
shown here:

CHANGE REPLICATION FILTER
REPLICATE_DO_DB = (d1), REPLICATE_IGNORE_DB = (d2);

Issuing the statement just shown is equivalent to starting the replica
mysqld with the options --replicate-do-db=d1 --replicate-ignore-db=d2.

On a multi-source replica, which uses multiple replication channels to
process transaction from different sources, use the FOR CHANNEL channel
clause to set a replication filter on a replication channel:

CHANGE REPLICATION FILTER REPLICATE_DO_DB = (d1) FOR CHANNEL channel_1;

This enables you to create a channel specific replication filter to
filter out selected data from a source. When a FOR CHANNEL clause is
provided, the replication filter statement acts on that replication
channel, removing any existing replication filter which has the same
filter type as the specified replication filters, and replacing them
with the specified filter. Filter types not explicitly listed in the
statement are not modified. If issued against a replication channel
which is not configured, the statement fails with an
ER_SLAVE_CONFIGURATION error. If issued against Group Replication
channels, the statement fails with an
ER_SLAVE_CHANNEL_OPERATION_NOT_ALLOWED error.

On a replica with multiple replication channels configured, issuing
CHANGE REPLICATION FILTER with no FOR CHANNEL clause configures the
replication filter for every configured replication channel, and for
the global replication filters. For every filter type, if the filter
type is listed in the statement, then any existing filter rules of that
type are replaced by the filter rules specified in the most recently
issued statement, otherwise the old value of the filter type is
retained. For more information see
https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/replication-rules-channel-based
-filters.html.

If the same filtering rule is specified multiple times, only the last
such rule is actually used. For example, the two statements shown here
have exactly the same effect, because the first REPLICATE_DO_DB rule in
the first statement is ignored:

CHANGE REPLICATION FILTER
REPLICATE_DO_DB = (db1, db2), REPLICATE_DO_DB = (db3, db4);

CHANGE REPLICATION FILTER
REPLICATE_DO_DB = (db3, db4);

*Caution*:

This behavior differs from that of the --replicate-* filter options
where specifying the same option multiple times causes the creation of
multiple filter rules.

Names of tables and database not containing any special characters need
not be quoted. Values used with REPLICATION_WILD_TABLE and
REPLICATION_WILD_IGNORE_TABLE are string expressions, possibly
containing (special) wildcard characters, and so must be quoted. This
is shown in the following example statements:

CHANGE REPLICATION FILTER
REPLICATE_WILD_DO_TABLE = ('db1.old%');

CHANGE REPLICATION FILTER
REPLICATE_WILD_IGNORE_TABLE = ('db1.new%', 'db2.new%');

Values used with REPLICATE_REWRITE_DB represent pairs of database
names; each such value must be enclosed in parentheses. The following
statement rewrites statements occurring on database db1 on the source
to database db2 on the replica:

CHANGE REPLICATION FILTER REPLICATE_REWRITE_DB = ((db1, db2));

The statement just shown contains two sets of parentheses, one
enclosing the pair of database names, and the other enclosing the
entire list. This is perhaps more easily seen in the following example,
which creates two rewrite-db rules, one rewriting database dbA to dbB,
and one rewriting database dbC to dbD:

CHANGE REPLICATION FILTER
REPLICATE_REWRITE_DB = ((dbA, dbB), (dbC, dbD));

The CHANGE REPLICATION FILTER statement replaces replication filtering
rules only for the filter types and replication channels affected by
the statement, and leaves other rules and channels unchanged. If you
want to unset all filters of a given type, set the filter's value to an
explicitly empty list, as shown in this example, which removes all
existing REPLICATE_DO_DB and REPLICATE_IGNORE_DB rules:

CHANGE REPLICATION FILTER
REPLICATE_DO_DB = (), REPLICATE_IGNORE_DB = ();

Setting a filter to empty in this way removes all existing rules, does
not create any new ones, and does not restore any rules set at mysqld
startup using --replicate-* options on the command line or in the
configuration file.

The RESET SLAVE ALL statement removes channel specific replication
filters that were set on channels deleted by the statement. When the
deleted channel or channels are recreated, any global replication
filters specified for the replica are copied to them, and no channel
specific replication filters are applied.
