Summary: MySQL: A very fast and reliable SQL database engine
Description:
MySQL is a true multi-user, multi-threaded SQL (Structured Query Language) database server. 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, robustness and ease of use. MySQL was originally developed because we needed a SQL server that could handle very big databases with magnitude higher speed than what any database vendor could offer to us. And since we did not need all the features that made their server slow we made our own. We have now been using MySQL since 1996 in a environment with more than 40 databases, 10,000 tables, of which more than 500 have more than 7 million rows. This is about 200G of data. 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. This version allows to use transactions with BDB tables and extended character set support.
