Basics of MySql on the Commandline #1

Posted on March 14th, 2008 in Basics, Mysql, Servers by admin

MySQL is a multithreaded, multi-user SQL database management system (DBMS) which has more than 11 million installations. The basic program runs as a server providing multi-user access to a number of databases.

Originally financed in a similar fashion to the JBoss model, MySQL was owned and sponsored by a single for-profit firm, the Swedish company MySQL AB, now a subsidiary of Sun Microsystems, which holds the copyright to most of the codebase. The project’s source code is available under terms of the GNU General Public License, as well as under a variety of proprietary agreements.

This tutorial is to get you familiar with the basics of mysql. It is not meant to be an end-all resource, but a starting point. Later we will discuss more advanced functions of mysql and how to manage databases via web interfaces such as phpMyAdmin.
