-Script to mitigate errors generated during MySQL replication.
+This is a script that mitigates the errors generated by a Master/Slave MySQL
+replication configuration.
+
+A slave database engine needs to be updated in tandem with the master to
+account for changes such as:
+
+ * Adding a new database
+ * Adding a new user
+ * Adding views which reference particular users
+
+The replication helper facilitates this by identifying typical errors and
+fixing them.
