I'm currently using statement-based replication. After upgrading to MySql 5.1, I'm considering using row-based replication.
After reading the docs it seems that you can change the format of the master on the fly.
Will the slave automatically adapt to whatever type of binary log it is sent?
Do I have to make any changes to the slave or master to get ready for switching or can I simply modify the binlog_format variable on the master?
