Question

I’ve a log parsing application and I need to make a query on an another mysql server based on my findings. (ie: what is the userID for this domain)

is it possible to connect another mysql server in a trigger to pull information and update the record on “before insert” event?

Thanks

FEDERATED storage engine solved my issue. I created a table with remote connection and it keeps copy of remote table.

CREATE TABLE `domains` (
    `id` BIGINT(20) UNSIGNED NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
    `user_id` BIGINT(20) UNSIGNED NOT NULL
    PRIMARY KEY (`id`),
    INDEX `user_id` (`user_id`),
)
COLLATE='latin1_swedish_ci'
ENGINE=FEDERATED
DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1
CONNECTION='mysql://user:pass@host:port/database/domains';

Thanks to inhan for showing right direction.
