Hi there,

If I use a sql query to update records of a shared table in the master site (e.g. master__users), will it populate the tables for the other sites (sl1_users, sl2_users)? Are the slave tables views of the master or synchronized? I'm trying to understand how sharing works to figure out how to make integration of another component work.

Thanks!

The sharing is like a shortcut in windows.
When you create a shortcut on a folder, this create an alias on the physical (real folder).
This is the same with the "link" we create in MySQL.
The data is present only once in the DB and therefore whereever you update the content, it is automatically available by all the websites as the data is not duplicated but just linked. This is the reason why we don't need to synchronize as we are sharing the data.
