MySQL
Server Overview
The MySQL database
server embodies an ingenious software architecture that maximises speed and customisability.
Extensive reuse of pieces of code within the software and an ambition to produce
minimalistic but functionally rich features have resulted in a database management
system unmatched in speed, compactness, stability and ease of deployment. The
unique separation of the core server from the table handler makes it possible
to run MySQL under strict transaction control or with ultrafast transactionless
disk access, whichever is most appropriate for the situation. Today
MySQL is the most popular open source database server in the world with more than
4 million installations powering websites, datawarehouses, business applications,
logging systems and more. Customers such as Yahoo! Finance, MP3.com, Motorola,
NASA, Silicon Graphics, and Texas Instruments use the MySQL server in mission-critical
applications. Below are some links to MySQL documentation,
tutorials, and mailing lists relating to MySQL:
