MySQL
Posted on September 17th, 2008 by Jay
MySQL (referred to incorrectly as ‘my sequel’) is a relational database management system with in excess of 11 million installations worldwide. The program runs as a server providing multi-user access to a number of databases.
MySQL is a popular choice for websites and acts as the database component of the LAMP platforms (Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP). Its popularity for use with web applications is closely tied to the popularity of PHP and Ruby on Rails, which are often combined with MySQL.
The best resource I found for learning MySQL’s main functions is MySQL Crash Course by Ben Forta. It is a book I still use on a regular basis when I need a quick reminder of how a function works.
