Hi all,

I have a setup with 1 master and 1 slave (hot standy to serve read queries if necessary).
I would like the JDBC driver to talk preferrably to the master (to be sure to get the freshest data). If the master is not available I would like to send the queries to the slave.

The documentation mentions the following values for the parameter targetServerType: any, master, slave, preferSlave.
I'm surprised there is no preferMaster option which would allow me to implement easily my requirement.

Anyone already encountered the same need ?

Regards,

Benoit
