What is MySQL?

MySQL is an open-source relational database management system (RDBMS)


based on Structured Query Language (SQL). It is used to manage and store
data in a structured way. MySQL is widely used for web databases and is a key
component of the LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP/Perl/Python) stack.

How Does MySQL Work?


MySQL works by allowing users to create, manage, and query databases.
Here's a basic overview of how it functions:
1. Database Storage: Data is stored in tables, which are composed of rows
and columns. Each table is designed to hold data for a specific type of
entity.
2. SQL Queries: Users interact with the database using SQL commands.
Common commands include SELECT (retrieve data), INSERT (add data),
UPDATE (modify data), and DELETE (remove data).
3. Client-Server Architecture: MySQL operates in a client-server model. The
MySQL server handles all database instructions (queries) sent by the
client applications.
4. Indexes: MySQL uses indexes to quickly locate data without having to
search every row in a table, significantly improving query performance.

Installing MySQL on Ubuntu


1. Update Package Index:
sudo apt update

2. Install MySQL Server:


sudo apt install mysql-server

3. Secure MySQL Installation:


sudo mysql_secure_installation

This command will guide you through a series of prompts to secure your
MySQL installation (e.g., setting a root password, removing anonymous
users, disallowing root login remotely, etc.).
4. Start MySQL Service:
sudo systemctl start mysql

5. Enable MySQL to Start on Boot:


sudo systemctl enable mysql
Configuring MySQL
1. Log into MySQL:
sudo mysql -u root -p

2. Create a Database:
CREATE DATABASE my_database;

3. Create a User and Grant Privileges:


CREATE USER 'my_user'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON my_database.* TO 'my_user'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
