Hey all.  
We are in need of tool, which will be checking replication data for consistency. This tool would be great, but its limitation is ROW/MIXED based replication doesn’t work…  
Do you guys have any idea of possible alternatives?  
Many thanks in advance!

Hi,

What is your exact replication topology now? Please note that ROW format is only a problem for chained replication. The tool will use statement per it’s session for master and one level slave just fine.
