MySQL has recently appeared as an Enterprise edition. We have already looked at whether MySQL (the company) is enterprise ready, but we can also ask whether the product itself is suitable for enterprise use. MySQL has a list that is long and distinguished, which is fine, but you have to bear in mind that it is just a list of the enterprises that use MySQL somewhere. It is not a list of the enterprises that use MySQL exclusively. It is certainly not a list of large enterprises that formerly used Oracle, took a look at MySQL, found it was great, threw Oracle out the door, replaced all of their Oracle installations with MySQL, saved quadrillions of dollars per year, and lived happily ever after. |

In database-driven applications, three different players produce the final output of the web page you view with your client: the web server, the scripting language (PHP), and the database back end (MySQL). When the client browser requests a page from your web site, the following steps occur...We will focus on steps three and four in our discussions here. Looking at those steps in more detail, we can summarize the process of accessing and working with a database connection from within a PHP script in the following steps. |

MySQL is a relational database management system ( RDBMS).MySQL runs on virtually all platforms, including Linux, Unix, and Windows. It is fully multi-threaded using kernel threads, and provides application program interfaces ( APIs) for many programming languages, including C, C++, Eiffel, Java, Perl, PHP, Python, and Tcl. MySQL is used in a wide range of applications, including data warehousing, e-commerce, Web databases, logging applications and distributed applications.

The bulk of MySQL-related code in use today, was created not just to be accessed within a database client program, such as mysql, but instead from interpreted programming languages — especially those used heavily on Web sites. This is one area where MySQL Cookbook really shines, because it contains a large amount of sample code in Perl, PHP, Python, Java, and even Ruby. For developers using the MySQL database system, the gold standard of such books is MySQL Cookbook, by Paul DuBois." |
