What is mySQL?

The Worlds Most Popular Open Source Database


more than 4 million active installations Supports a database and allow client/server interactions (storing and retrieving information) On a large system a computer may be solely dedicated to running the DBMS

A DBMS - Database Management System

A DBA (DataBase Administrator) usually manages the database Usually a DBMS is very expensive to buy and/or maintain.

mySQL has

Speed - written in C/C++, multithreaded,optimised Full data set - supports:

float,double, enum, date, char, varchar etc.. select, insert, delete, show, "aliases" etc

Full Command set (SQL92 compliant)

Functions - e.g. avg(), sum(), max() Security - privilege and password system Scalable - can take billions of rows of data Large character set for internationalisation Tools - admin and other access

Why PHP and mySQL

MySQL is a key part of LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP / Perl / Python), a fast growing open source enterprise software stack. More and more companies are using LAMP as an alternative to expensive proprietary software stacks because of its lower cost and freedom from lock-in.

How to get and install PHP/mySQL


MySQL

NOTE: In Apache users web pages are in install_dir\htdocs

http://www.mysql.com/downloads/index.html

But dont forget (mini -XAMPP) !! Apache/mySQL/PHP/Perl - download and install instructions (the "old" method should work OK)

http://www.apachefriends.org/xampp-windows-en.html mini-xampp download is about 13 Mb

uqc103s/UFCE47-20-1 PHP-mySQL

Starting Apache and mySQL


Scripts to start and stop are in the minixampp install directory Starting Apache starts an HTTP service on port 80 (default)

http://localhost/ or http://127.0.0.1/
NOTE: XAMPP contains a good admin tool for mySQL http://localhost/phpmyadmin/

Starting mySQL starts a service on port 3066 (default)


Apache (minixampp) users web pages are in: install_dir\htdocs
