another solution would be a monitoring script that creates a temp database that creates a snapshot x hours before payout and compares it with the table after payout ..
that's possible...currently we don't worry about it as only I and the owner have access, but we know someday we will need to delegate responsibility ot our team...that's why I wanted to checkout how these "detect mysql shaving" softwares worked...

btw, if you use MySql for replication be sure to update to 4.0.20 ..

this bug caused me and many others a shitload of time :

Thx for the advice, Ive had that error before, but haven't had it in maybe 6 months now....replication been going smooth for us. I always think it's a good idea to upgrade to latest stables though =)

I'm waiting for MySQL's asynchronous replication. We were looking at using EMIC, but with MySQL's announcement we might as well wait for their own version
