A system that uses log based replication to transfer data between a MySQL database or system that uses binary log files, and a second database or system, comprising: a computer including a micro-processor; one or more libraries for use in accessing a first database or system that uses binary log files; and a vendor access module (VAM), running on the computer, and further including: a plurality of binary log classes that wrap around the libraries, a plurality of event classes, and a plurality of reader and processor classes; wherein the VAM recognizes event data as recorded in a binary log file by the first database or system, uses the plurality of event classes to convert the event data into data records, reads and processes the data records with the reader and processor classes, and sends the data records to a record queue, and communicates with an extract process to process the data records and to generate a trail file containing the processed data; wherein the processed data is set up to be applied to the second database or system.
