<title>Server-side global transaction ID support</title>
<para>
The plugin is prepared to support MySQL servers which implement global
transaction ID support and which maintain a global transaction ID themselves.
Client-side injection would not be necessary with such servers. However,
without any server supporting it yet and, in heterogenous environments with
old MySQL servers, client-side injection is a valuable, although not perfect,
option.

<para>
Starting with PECL/mysqlnd_ms 1.3.0-alpha the MySQL 5.6.4-m8 or newer built-in global
transaction identifier feature is supported. Use of the server feature lifts
all of the above listed limitations. Please, see the MySQL Reference Manual
for limitations and preconditions for using server built-in global transaction
identifiers.
</para>
<para>
Whether to use the client-side emulation or the server built-in
functionality is a question not directly related to the plugin, thus it is not
discussed in depth. There are no plans to remove the client-side emulation and
you can continue to use it, if the server-side solution is no option. This may
be the case in heterogenous environments with old MySQL server or, if any of the
server-side solution limitations is not acceptable.

<para>
From an applications perspective there is hardly a difference in using one or the
other approach. The following properties differ.

<simpara>
Client-side emulation, as shown in the manual, is using an easy to compare sequence number
for global transactions. Multi-master is not handled to keep the manual examples easy.
</simpara>
<simpara>
Server-side built-in feature is using a combination of a server identifier
and a sequence number as a global transaction identifier. Comparison cannot
use numeric algebra. Instead a SQL function must be used. Please,
see the MySQL Reference Manual for details.

</note>
<para>
PECL/mysqlnd_ms can either use its own global transaction ID emulation or the
global transaction ID feature built-in to MySQL 5.6.4-m8 or later. From a developer
perspective the client-side and server-side approach offer the same features with
regards to service levels provided by PECL/mysqlnd_ms. Their differences
are discussed in the <link linkend="mysqlnd-ms.gtid">concepts section</link>.

</para>
<para>
Starting with MySQL 5.6.4-m8 the MySQL Replication system features server-side
global transaction IDs. Transaction identifiers are automatically generated and
maintained by the server. Users do not need to take care of maintaining them.
There is no need to setup any tables in advance, or for setting

</para>
<para>
Clients can continue to use global transaction identifier to achieve
session consistency when reading from MySQL Replication slaves. The algorithm
works as described above. Different SQL statements must be configured for
<literal>fetch_last_gtid</literal> and <literal>check_for_gtid</literal>.
The statements are given below. Please note, MySQL 5.6.4-m8 is a development
version. Details of the server implementation may change in the future and require
adoption of the SQL statements shown.
</para>
<para>
Using the following configuration any of the above described functionality can
be used together with the server-side global transaction ID feature.
<function>mysqlnd_ms_get_last_gtid</function> and <function>mysqlnd_ms_set_qos</function>
continue to work as described above. The only difference is that the server
does not use a simple sequence number but a string containing of a server identifier
and a sequence number. Thus, users cannot easily derive an order from GTIDs returned
by <function>mysqlnd_ms_get_last_gtid</function>.
