  1. MySQL Content of Presentation • What is MySQL? • History • Facts • SQL Databases • Alternatives • Benefits • Drawbacks • Setting Up Database Driven Websites • How It Works • PHP and MySQL • Specific SQL Tools • A Database Driven SBU ‘Course Guidance’ Website – EXAMPLE OF PROJECT • Flowchart • Useful Sites

  2. MySQL What is MySQL? • MSQL / MySQL DatabasesThe world's most widely used open source database application. MySQL is a relational database management system. World Class SQL Server • PHPA server-side, cross-platform, HTML embedded scripting language. Why MySQL and not another database system that supports SQL? MySQL is: • Available at little cost ….. or Free • Well-supported and • Fast

  3. MySQL History • In 1996 T.c.X. DataKonsultAB , a consulting firm in Sweden developed MySQL. • Created Alternative database from the general idea of mSQL.

  4. MySQL Facts • MySQL is the largest growing relational database out on the market. • MySQL mainly runs on UNIX-based environments • MySQL acts as a DBMS • MySQL is one of the most used open source databases in the world. • Can use Enhanced MySQL • Capacity to handle 50,000,000+ records. • Very fast command execution, perhaps the fastest to be found on the market. • Easy and efficient user privilege system.

  7. MySQL MySQL and PostGreSQL Compared • MySQL – Ease of use / long-term stability • PostGre - Funtionality • Postgres has an arcane limit of 8k of data per row • Postgres - its "serial" data type (the equivalent of MySQL's auto_increment) creates a "sequence" which does not get dropped when its parent table is dropped. • MySQL is "smart" enough to increment its auto_increment value when you import data • MySQL has no built in method for doing db size limits

  8. MySQL Benefits (1) • Able to handle large databases that can be accessed over the Web. • Flexible and secure password system to protect your data - powerful security system • Fast, reliable, easy to use, and affordable! • Relational database management system • Stability • On-line help facility - (type –help or -?,) • MySQL meets the ANSI SQL92 regulations

  9. MySQL Benefits (2) • MySQL allows users to connect to a specific database on the server and issue requests. • Concurrent access • This system can run on virtually on any platform – UNIX and Windows • MySQL also comes with a source code • MySQL is used at the enterprise level because of its security.

  10. MySQL Drawbacks • The hard part about this is there is not a lot of documentation available • MySQL has no built in method for doing db size limits • MySQL requires that you either: • code the data integrity into your product or • you right some scripts to go through the logs and check that integrity was maintained

  11. MySQL Setting Up Database Driven Websites • Setup the MySQL database server • Setup the Apache web server • Setup the PHP 3.0 Hypertext Preprocessor for server-side-scripting • Create a simple web enabled database

  12. MySQL How It WorksMySQL is based on a client/server model BLACK BOX CLIENT PROGRAM

  13. MySQL PHP and MySQL • the best tools available for the rapid development of database driven web applications, • "Open Source" and available at no cost, • happen to be particularly easy to learn and use, and yet are quite robust and scalable, • are excellent choices for anyone seeking a powerful, affordable, easy and efficient web development environment.

  14. MySQL Specific SQL Tools • DBTools Manager • DBUI • exportSQL • ForwardSQL • Intelligent Converters Software • KMySQLAdmin • Mac SQL • MyAccess • MySQL Data Manager • MySQL WebClient • MySQL Admin

  15. MySQL A Database Driven SBU ‘Course Guidance’ Website • Help potential students choose their ideal course, • Provide an on-line interactive service, • Shorten the decision-making process, • Save valuable time, • Provide vast amounts of course information and guidance, • Send out and view on-line prospectuses
