Logo and Trademark..............................
MySQL ("my S-Q-L") is a multithreaded, multi-user SQL database management system (DBMS) which has, according to MySQL AB, more than 10 million installations. The basic program runs as a server providing multiuser access to a number of databases. MySQL is owned and sponsored by a single for-profit firm, the Swedish company MySQL AB, which holds the copyright to most of the codebase. This is similar to the JBoss model. It is dissimilar to the Apache project, where the software is developed by a public community and the copyright to the codebase is owned by its individual authors. Some industry observers believe MySQL will file for an IPO in early 2008.
The company develops and maintains the system, selling support and service contracts, as well as proprietary-licensed copies of MySQL, and employing people all over the world who collaborate via the Internet. MySQL AB was founded by David Axmark, Allan Larsson, and Michael "Monty" Widenius. The CEO is Mårten Mickos. The MySQL company used to sell another DBMS, MaxDB, which is from an unrelated codebase. MaxDB's sales and support have reverted back to SAP AG, where it originated.
Libraries for accessing MySQL databases are available in all major programming languages with language-specific APIs. In addition, an ODBC interface called MyODBC allows additional programming languages that support the ODBC interface to communicate with a MySQL database, such as ASP or ColdFusion. The MySQL server and official libraries are mostly implemented in ANSI C/ANSI C++.
MySQL is popular for web applications and acts as the database component of the LAMP, MAMP, and WAMP platforms (Linux/Mac/Windows-Apache-MySQL-PHP/Perl/Python), and for open-source bug tracking tools like Bugzilla. Its popularity for use with web applications is closely tied to the popularity of PHP and Ruby on Rails, which is often combined with MySQL. PHP and MySQL are essential components for running popular content management systems such as WordPress and Drupal blogging platforms. Wikipedia runs on MediaWiki software, which is written in PHP and uses a MySQL database.
MySQL works on many different platforms — including AIX, BSDi, FreeBSD, HP-UX, i5/OS, GNU/Linux, Mac OS X, NetBSD, Novell NetWare, OpenBSD, OS/2 Warp, QNX, SGI IRIX, Solaris, SunOS, SCO OpenServer, SCO UnixWare, Tru64, Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows ME, Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows XP and Windows Vista. A port of MySQL to OpenVMS is also available.
Information on using MySQL can be found on the company's site, under their Documentation section. There are also many books written about MySQL. To administer MySQL databases one can use the included command-line tool (commands: mysql and mysqladmin). Also downloadable from the MySQL site are GUI administration tools: MySQL Administrator and MySQL Query Browser. Both of the GUI tools are now included in one package called MySQL GUI Tools.
In addition to the above mentioned tools developed by MySQL AB, there are several other commercial and non-commercial tools available. phpMyAdmin is a free software webbased administration interface implemented in PHP.
