What is MySQL? Where do I learn more about it? MySQL is a popular database server availible for Linux, FreeBSD and other flavors of UNIX, and also Win32 platforms. MySQL is often used as a database back-end to PHP3 web applications or CGIs invoked by Perl database modules. MySQL has a higly configurable user/permissions model as well as a network access permissions configuration. MySQL is typically accessed via the client software at the command prompt on a Linux or FreeBSD server. However, there are various third-party client applications availible to run on X-Windows, Windows 95/98/NT or on the web itself. More information and full documentation of MySQL can be found at http://www.mysql.org. A list of third-party applications can also be found at this site as well. For those starting in using MySQL, there are excellent tutorials for MySQL use and administration and integration with PHP3.
