While installing Golden Gate for mysql replication I ran into two issues which, while documented, were buried in the books so I didn't see them. Maybe this will help someone.
1. be sure your socket file is in /tmp or you have a sym link from tmp. Golden gate only looks here so if no socket, no connection. Now that's just plain wrong.
2. Golden gate needs row based replication not function based. That means you're stuck with some post 5.1.x release which maybe won't be an issue but forced us to do an in-place upgrade. Don't ask.
