adam 9745d25d70 MySQL is a SQL (Structured Query Language) database server. SQL is the most
popular database language in the world. MySQL is a client-server implementation
that consists of a server daemon `mysqld' and many different client
programs/libraries.

The main goals of MySQL are speed and robustness.

The base upon which MySQL is built is a set of routines that have been used in
a highly demanding production environment for many years.  While MySQL is still
in development it already offers a rich and highly useful function set.

The official way to pronounce 'MySQL' is 'My Ess Que Ell' (Not MY-SEQUEL).

This package contains the MySQL server programs and libraries including
embedded server (by PKG_OPTION).

After the tables are set up and the MySQL server is running,
please remember to set a password for the MySQL root user!
This is done by running both:
${PREFIX}/bin/mysqladmin -u root -p password 'new-password'
${PREFIX}/bin/mysqladmin -h `hostname` -u root -p password 'new-password'
The "Enter password:" prompt is asking for the existing password.
As there is no existing password, just press the Return key.
There is a script distributed with MySQL that can help you lock down
an installation. This script has been installed to
${PREFIX}/bin/mysql_secure_installation.
Please see the manual and the MySQL web site for more instructions.
