Starting in 4.0.0, one can use @code{LOAD DATA FROM MASTER} to set up
a slave. Note that 4.0.0 slaves cannot communicate with 3.23 masters, but 4.0.1
and later version slaves can. 3.23 slave cannot talk to 4.0 master.
Please see the following table for an indication of master-slave
compatibility between different versions. With regard to version 4.0,
we recommend using same version on both sides.

Starting from 4.0.0, one can use @code{LOAD DATA FROM MASTER} to set up
a slave. Be aware that @code{LOAD DATA FROM MASTER} currently works only
if all the tables on the master are @code{MyISAM} type, and will acquire a
global read lock, so no writes are possible while the tables are being
transferred from the master. This limitation is of a temporary nature, and is
due to the fact that we have not yet implemented hot lock-free table backup.
