Managing & Using MySQL [EPUB ebook] 
Open Source SQL Databases for Managing Information & Web Sites

My SQL is a popular and robust open source database product that supports key subsets of SQL on both Linux and Unix systems. My SQL is free for nonprofit use and costs a small amount for commercial use. Unlike commercial databases, My SQL is affordable and easy to use. This book includes introductions to SQL and to relational database theory. If you plan to use My SQL to build web sites or other Linux or Unix applications, this book teaches you to do that, and it will remain useful as a reference once you understand the basics. Ample tutorial material and examples are included throughout.This book has all you need to take full advantage of this powerful database management system. It takes you through the whole process from installation and configuration to programming interfaces and database administration. This second edition has a greatly enhanced administration chapter that includes information on administrative tools, server configuration, server startup and shutdown, log file management, database backup and restore, and database administration and repair. In addition, a new chapter on security describes data, server, and client-server security, while a chapter on extending My SQL provides an overview of My SQL internals and describes the use of My SQL user-defined functions.If you know C/C++, Java, Perl, PHP, or Python, you can write programs to interact with your My SQL database. In addition, you can embed queries and updates directly in an HTML file so that a web page becomes its own interface to the database. Managing and Using My SQL includes chapters on the programming language interfaces, and it also includes a complete reference section with specific function calls for each language.Also included in the reference section are references to the SQL language, and details of the My SQL system variables, programs, and utilities. New to the second edition is a reference to the internal My SQL tables, which will be of particular interest to those who want to work extensively with My SQL security.
