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).
