MySQL is a SQL (Structured Query Language) database server. SQL is the most
|
|
popular database language in the world. MySQL is a client-server implementation
|
|
that consists of a server daemon `mysqld' and many different client
|
|
programs/libraries.
|
|
|
|
The main goals of MySQL are speed and robustness.
|
|
|
|
The base upon which MySQL is built is a set of routines that have been used in
|
|
a highly demanding production environment for many years. While MySQL is still
|
|
in development it already offers a rich and highly useful function set.
|
|
|
|
The official way to pronounce 'MySQL' is 'My Ess Que Ell' (Not MY-SEQUEL).
|
|
|
|
This package contains the MySQL client programs and libraries.
