There are a lot of different things which databases CALL replication. Not all of them actually involve replication, and those which do work in vastly different ways. Some databases support several different types.

MySQL supports asynchronous replication, which is very good for some things. However, there are weaknesses. Statement-based replication is not the same as what most (any?) other databases do, and doesn't always result in the expected behaviour. Row-based replication is only supported by a non production-ready version (but is more consistent with how other databases do it).

Each database has its own take on replication, some involve other tools plugging in.
