Drupal doesn't seem to utilize database slaves

We are using an AWS RDS cluster for our Drupal databases.



Our Drupal configuration for $databases consist of a default and a slave, but when I look at the usage(1), it seems like Drupal never uses the slave.
Is that just because it suffices with the master, or could we lack configuration?



$databases = array(

  'default' => array(

    'default' => array(

      'driver' => $_ENV['DatabaseDriver'],

      'host' => $_ENV['DatabaseHostMaster'],

      'database' => $_ENV['DatabaseName'],

      'username' => $_ENV['DatabaseUsername'],

      'password' => $_ENV['DatabasePassword']

    )

  )

);



if (!empty($_ENV['DatabaseHostSlave'])) {

  $databases['default']['slave'] = array(

    'driver' => $_ENV['DatabaseDriver'],

    'host' => $_ENV['DatabaseHostSlave'],

    'database' => $_ENV['DatabaseName'],

    'username' => $_ENV['DatabaseUsername'],

    'password' => $_ENV['DatabasePassword']

  );

}


We use a mix of Drupal 7 and 8.

          android studio warns about leanback feature tag usage required on manifest while using Unity exported app?

On maifest file it showed following warning: Expecting <uses-feature android:name="android.software.leanback" android:required="false" /> tag I have no information about it. And also on default emptyview android project does not use/mention this feature. I know it is required by TV's and such but why its not added by default? Why is this?

          SQL update select statement

          Image
          0 I'm trying to update an entry in my database (postgresql). I'm having a problem with updating the query: INSERT INTO prices (price, product_id) SELECT product_price, commn_id FROM products_temp as prod WHERE NOT EXISTS (SELECT * FROM prices od WHERE prod.commn_id = od.product_id) OR prod.product_price != ( SELECT price FROM prices as p WHERE p.product_id = prod.commn_id order by p.end desc LIMIT 1 ) Query works fine when i delete: OR prod.product_price != ( SELECT price FROM prices as p WHERE p.product_id = prod.commn_id order by p.end desc LIMIT 1 ) So it seems to me that it's looping through this operation. My question is, how can I fix it? sql postgresql
