Introduction to Database & Database Administrator roles

Database: A database is an organized collection of data, generally stored and accessed electronically from a computer system.  Where databases are more complex they are often developed using formal design and modeling techniques. The database management system (DBMS) is the software that interacts with end users, applications,  and the database itself to capture and analyze the data. The DBMS software additionally encompasses  the core facilities provided to administer the database. The sum total of the database, the DBMS and  the associated applications can be referred to as a "database system". Often the term "database"  is also used to loosely refer to any of the DBMS, the database system or an application associated with the database. Database Admin:  A database administrator (DBA) is a specialized computer systems administrator who maintains a successful database environment by directing or performing all related activities to keep...

About MySQL - Database history Support and Versioning

About MySQL: MySQL was created by a Swedish company. David Axmark (left) and Michael "Monty" Widenius,  MySQL AB, founded by David Axmark, Allan Larsson and Michael "Monty" Widenius. Original development of MySQL by Widenius and Axmark began in 1994. The first version of MySQL appeared on 23 May 1995. It was initially created for personal usage from mSQL based on the low-level language ISAM, which the creators considered too slow and inflexible. They created a new SQL interface, while keeping the same API as mSQL. By keeping the API consistent with the mSQL system, many developers were able to use MySQL instead of the (proprietarily licensed) mSQL antecedent. Support: The MySQL server software itself and the client libraries use dual-licensing distribution. They are offered under GPL version 2, or a proprietary license. MySQL AB owns the copyright to the MySQL source code. This means that MySQL AB can distribute MySQL under several different l...

MySQL Architecture -Client Server Architecture

Client/Server Overview The MySQL database system operates using a client/server architecture. The server is a central program that manages database contents, and client programs connect to the server to retrieve or modify the data. MySQL also includes non-client utility programs and scripts. MySQL Server:   This is the mysqld program that manages database and tables. Most users choose binary MySQL distribution that includes a server ready to run with the capabilities they need, but it's also possible to compile MySQL from source. Client Programs:  These are programs that communicate with the server by sending requests to it over a network connection. The server acts on each request and returns a response to the client. For example you can use the mysql client to send queries to the server, and the server returns the query results. A client program can connect locally to a server running on the same machine or remotely to a server running on a different mac...
