Install and configure MySQL

MySQL is a freely available open source Relational Database Management System (RDBMS)
that uses Structured Query Language (SQL).

MySQL is a database management system.

A database is a structured collection of data. It may be anything from a simple shopping list to
a picture gallery or the vast amounts of information in a corporate network. To add, access,
and process data stored in a computer database, you need a database management system
such as MySQL Server. Since computers are very good at handling large amounts of data,
database management systems play a central role in computing, as standalone utilities, or as
parts of other applications.

MySQL databases are relational.

A relational database stores data in separate tables rather than putting all the data in one big
storeroom. The database structures are organized into physical files optimized for speed. The
logical model, with objects such as databases, tables, views, rows, and columns, offers a
flexible programming environment. You set up rules governing the relationships between
different data fields, such as one-to-one, one-to-many, unique, required or optional,
and pointers between different tables. The database enforces these rules, so that with a
well-designed database, your application never sees inconsistent, duplicate, orphan, out-ofdate, or missing data.
The SQL part of MySQL stands for Structured Query Language. SQL is the most common
standardized language used to access databases. Depending on your programming
environment, you might enter SQL directly (for example, to generate reports), embed SQL
statements into code written in another language, or use a language-specific API that hides
the SQL syntax.
SQL is defined by the ANSI/ISO SQL Standard. The SQL standard has been evolving since
1986 and several versions exist. In this manual, SQL-92 refers to the standard released in
1992, SQL:1999 refers to the standard released in 1999, and SQL:2003 refers to the
current version of the standard. We use the phrase the SQL standard to mean the current
version of the SQL Standard at any time.

MySQL software is Open Source.

Open Source means that it is possible for anyone to use and modify the software. Anybody
can download the MySQL software from the Internet and use it without paying anything. If you
wish, you may study the source code and change it to suit your needs. The MySQL software
uses the GPL (GNU General Public License), to define what you may and may not do with the
software in different situations. If you feel uncomfortable with the GPL or need to embed
MySQL code into a commercial application, you can buy a commercially licensed version from
us. See the MySQL Licensing Overview for more information

The MySQL Database Server is very fast, reliable, scalable, and easy to use.
If that is what you are looking for, you should give it a try. MySQL Server can run comfortably
on a desktop or laptop, alongside your other applications, web servers, and so on, requiring
little or no attention. If you dedicate an entire machine to MySQL, you can adjust the settings
to take advantage of all the memory, CPU power, and I/O capacity available. MySQL can also
scale up to clusters of machines, networked together.
You can find a performance comparison of MySQL Server with other database managers on
our benchmark page.
MySQL Server was originally developed to handle large databases much faster than existing
solutions and has been successfully used in highly demanding production environments for
several years. Although under constant development, MySQL Server today offers a rich and
useful set of functions. Its connectivity, speed, and security make MySQL Server highly suited
for accessing databases on the Internet.

MySQL Server works in client/server or embedded systems.

The MySQL Database Software is a client/server system that consists of a multi-threaded
SQL server that supports different backends, several different client programs and libraries,
administrative tools, and a wide range of application programming interfaces (APIs).
We also provide MySQL Server as an embedded multi-threaded library that you can link into
your application to get a smaller, faster, easier-to-manage standalone product.

A large amount of contributed MySQL software is available.

MySQL Server has a practical set of features developed in close cooperation with our users. It
is very likely that your favorite application or language supports the MySQL Database Server.

Follow the instructions below exactly when installing MySQL Server:

Click on the "setup"

Perform a typical installation

<!--[if !vml]--><!--[endif]-->

Check box to configure MySQL Server

If you checked the Configure the MySQL Server now check box on the final dialog of the MySQL
Server installation, then the MySQL Server Instance Configuration Wizard will automatically start.
Follow the instructions below carefully to configure your MySQL Server to run correctly with
EventSentry.

Select Detailed Configuration

I was installing it on my local machine where other applications & tools are running I decided to opt
"developer machine" but it is recommended that you use a Dedicated MySQL Server Machine for your
MySQL database, if this is not an option then select "Server Machine".
If you selected Dedicated MySQL Server Machine and your MySQL service does not start after the wizard
completes, then try to re-run the wizard (or re-install) MySQL, but this time select the Server Machine
option.

I have checked "Multifunctional databases" as I wanted MyISAM as default storage engine but if you
want you can select "Transactional Database Only", this will make sure that InnoDB is the main storage
engine. If you have checked 3rd option then only myISAM engine would be available

Select the drive where the database files will be stored.

Select the drive on the fastest drive(s) on your server

It is recommended that you leave the default port 3306 in place, however
EventSentry will also work with non-standard ports if necessary.

It is highly recommended that you run the MySQL Server as a Windows

service(you can disable this if you want to start it manually whenever required) and include the binary
directory in the search path.

Specify a secure root password, you may want to check the box Enable root access
from remote machines if you plan on administering your MySQL server
from your workstation or other servers.
If you are getting an error message after clicking the Next button, then please enable port
3306
in the Windows XP Firewall Settings

Done!!!
But if you are installing MySQL on a Windows XP workstation, or any other computer that has a firewall
enabled, and the wizard fails with an error message similar to the one shown below (Can't connect to
MySQL server on 'localhost'), then you will have to exclude the MySQL daemon from your firewall
configuration

On Windows XP, you can exclude MySQL from the firewall by following the steps below:
1. Navigate to Start -> Settings -> Control Panel -> Windows Firewall

2. In the resulting dialog, enter the information as shown in the screenshot

After clicking OK twice, return to the MySQL error message and select Retry. MySQL should now be able to create the
instance correctly

http://your serverip/phpmyadmin/ now you should see the following

screen here you need to enter your mysql database details username as
root password as your mysql server root password by default mysql root
users doesn't have any password after entering these details press enter
now.

Once you enter in to the phpmyadmin you should see the following screen

Creating Database
Now you need to create a database for this you can see the create
database option in the above screen there you need to enter the database
name and click on create

Creating a table in your database

The left-hand frame in phpMyAdmin is used for navigation, when you log
in, you'll see the database you created displaying in this area. Tables will
also show up under each database once they are created.
Click on the database you created in the navigation frame and
a new window will appear on the right hand side.

We will now create the first table in the database, called "details". This is
done by using the Create new table feature. The name of the new table is
typed into the Name: field, and the number of columns in the table (4)
into Fields:. Please note that when you create your own databases and
tables, it's wise to plan them out carefully to allow for growth - this
exercise is only meant to help you to familiarize with basic
php/MySQL/phpMyAdmin functions.
After you click Go a screen similar to the following should appear. Notice
that the table title will now also appear under the database name in the
left hand navigation frame.

We now need to enter the names and attributes of our table fields. Enter
the following information:
Field
id
name

Type
int
char

Length
6
100

telephone char
date
char

50
50

The Length value indicates the maximum allowable length of characters

for input. There are many different values that can be set for Type; view
further documentation here. The Types specified in this example aren't
the most efficient, but just used for the purposes of this exercise. The "id"
field, which will be used as a Primary key for this table, has been set to
auto_increment, saving you from having to having to type in the next
number in sequence when you input records.
Once you've entered all the values, click Save. A screen similar to the
following will appear.

Now the table is now created. You'll notice that the corresponding SQL
command for creating these fields is also displayed. While you don't really
need to know this for the purposes of this exercise, it doesn't hurt to get

familiar with the lingo over time.

Also on this page, you'll see many other options - explore these later on
once you are familiar with the way everything is working.
Inserting data into the table
Inputting data into your new table is easy. On the current screen, there's
a tab labeled "Insert" - click this and another window should appear,
similar to the following.

Simply type in details for each of the fields for this record. As the "id"
column was specified to automatically increment, you will not need to
enter a number. This number will be unique, no other record will have it
and it will be added once the record is saved.
If you ever get lost while getting familiar with phpMyAdmin navigation,
simply click "Home" in the left hand nav bar and start again.
After you click Save, the record is saved to the details table, and the
previous window we saw reappears with the SQL command for the insert.

Additional records can be added by re-selecting Insert". If you are going

to be inserting multiple records, you can also select the "Insert another
new row" radio button on the input form.

Once you've entered a number of records into the table, you can review
the records by clicking on the Browse tab. You can also select individual
records for editing or deleting.

Once your database starts growing and you don't wish to flick through
pages and pages of records, you can utilize the Select tab to refine
displays.
Backing up your database
Click on your database name in the left hand navigation bar
- Click on EXPORT (top tab)
- Highlight the table/s you want to back up
You can select the whichever option is useful for your under export .If you

want save as file enter the file name and if you want use compression
select the available option for this.

you've created a database, a table and fields, entered in a few records,

viewed the records, edited and perhaps deleted some of them and
practiced backing up.I hope this will help some users how to use
phpmyadmin.
