What is MySQL ? Can Anyone Explain - Could someone explain this to me?

enterthematrix
Hey. I have a few questions about mySQL. I'm just starting out on using it and am curious to know:
1) What exactly is it?
2) Where is it stored?
3) Does my computer have to be on all the time for other people to use my site?
4) Where can I get one?
5) How can I access it?
6) What does mySQL stand for?
7) Is there anything else I should know about using it?
Any help with this would be appriciated. Thanks!

Hi dear,

Q 1) What exactly is it?
A:MySql is an Open Source RDBMS (Relational Database Management System), comes for free (for No Cost).

Q 2) Where is it stored?
A :IT stores the databases and tables in to the folder Called "data" under MySql Folder, Suppose if you indtalled MySql in Folder "\dbms\mysql", Data is going to be stored in "\dbms\mysql\data\" folder. (Can you be More Clear on this Question)

Q 3) Does my computer have to be on all the time for other people to use my site?
A: Yes MySql Server Should Be running to access it.
(Why your are Going for Making you system as MySql Database Server, on Astahost you can get it )

Q 4) Where can I get one?
A :Visit http://www.mysql.org or http://www.mysql.com

Q 5) How can I access it?
A : All It Depends, if you want to access from you programm or directly from console.

i)If you are going to access with you programm then either you can have a ODBC Connection or use the library available for you programming language.
ii) If you want access from console, first you need to start MySql server, and conect to it (mysql -h yourhost -u username -p password)

Q 6) What does mySQL stand for?
A: My Structured Query Language

Q 7) Is there anything else I should know about using it?
A : a lot of things you need to know, Procedures, Cursors, PL/SQL, Innodb Concept,Syntax and many more. Visit mysql.com, or am on my way to start my own web site for it, just wait and see.

any thing else feel free to contact me on my mail "arunkumar.hg@gmail.com"

cheers

Hi,
Yes MySql 5.0 onwards support Stored Procedures, and about cursors are those which acsts as Temporary ResultSets to hold Fetched Data,

But MySql 4.x and other version lesser than 5.0 won't support Stored Procedures.

Heres the simple Example of StoredProcedure

SQL
CREATE PROCEDURE `meta_controller`(OUT te Bigint(20))
Begin select rowid from TEMP_META_DATA into te; set te=te+1;
update TEMP_META_DATA set rowid=te;
End;


For more Information visit http://www.mysql.com

(http://www.arunzone.com is on its way to track all these things)

Cheers

A stored procedure in SQL is a statement that is stored on the server. You can call it at any time using the name you gave it.

well most hosting services have a mySQL 'database' in the cpanel of your site. Im not sure if you need a database or just mysql but if you need to create a database it should be in your cpanel

One thing most people are not aware of is that you can get a windows DLL that will allow MS Access on a Windows System to connect to MYSQL on a Linux machine over the internet.

i dont know if it supports cluster/grid but you can check its website..

i think the website is mysql.com

about the admin software, even mysql have its default software called myadmin but for advance functions, try SQLyog at webyog.com

there are tons of admin software for mysql server but I mostly recommend sqlyog since it is the only program that made me leave my old handy dandy phpmyadmin.

  6. Mysql Multiple Tables
    (1)
    It is good practice to use multiple tables to sort out big amounts of data. But once you do that it
    becomes increasingly hard to cross reference the tables. Mysql has a little beautiful command
    structure that they have added. You can select multiple tables within one sql query. Example of a
    basic sql query CODE $sql = "SELECT * FROM table WHERE row=1"; If you noticed that I selected
    all of the rows in the table. Normally you will try to not select the entire table from the database
    unless you absolutely want all of the table. I would recommend against it; just gra....

  13. Mysql And User File_priv
    (0)
    HI, I've hit the grain while trying to import file to mysql database - I need to enable file

    The problem is to set file_priv of the database user to "Y" . This is done in the "user" table of
    the maintanance database named "mysql". cPanel doesn't allow this. Via the cPanel you can only
    allow privileges on table querries but you cannot grant host file privileges to the database user -
    which makes querries like: "LOAD DATA INFILE 'filename' INTO TABLE tablen....
