MySQL is a database.

The data in MySQL is stored in database

objects called tables.
A table is a collection of related data entries
and it consists of columns and rows.

 MySQL is Free.
MySQL is Open Source.
MySQL is easy to use.

 A query is a question or a request.

With MySQL, we can query a database for
specific information and have a recordset
returned.

You must download and install MySQL Server

You can use wamp or xampp
Download at:
http://www.wampserver.com/en/ for wamp server
http://sourceforge.net/projects/xampp/files/ for
xampp server

Iam can running on Linux,

Windows, Mac Os and
Solaris.
But just for 32 bit
Architecture

Iam can running only on

Windows for 32 bit (x86)
and 64 bit (x64)
Architecture

 U can access easily MySQL from phpMyAdmin.

 U can access MySQL from windows command promt

(cmd) or terminal / shell on linux.

 In PHP, this is done with the mysql_connect()

function.
mysql_connect(servername,username,password);
Parameter
servername
username
password

Description
Optional. Specifies the server to connect to. Default value is
"localhost:3306"
Optional. Specifies the username to log in with. Default value
is the name of the user that owns the server process
Optional. Specifies the password to log in with. Default is ""

 mysql_pconnect("localhost","peter","abc123"
);
Pconnect stand for persisten connect
Pconnect can not be close with mysql_close();

 use the mysql_close() function

 To get PHP to execute the statement above we

must use the mysql_query() function.
This function is used to send a query or
command to a MySQL connection.

In the following table, M represents the declared column length in characters for
nonbinary string types and bytes for binary string types. L represents the actual
length in bytes of a given string value.

VARCHAR uses a single-byte character set

such as latin1.

If a given value is stored into the CHAR(4) and VARCHAR(4) columns,

the values retrieved from the columns are not always the same
because trailing spaces are removed from CHAR columns upon
retrieval. The following example illustrates this difference

Important: A database must be selected

before a table can be created. The database is
selected with the mysql_select_db() function.

 DROP TABLE [IF EXISTS] table_name ;

DROP DATABASE [IF EXISTS] db_name;

Empty Table
TRUNCATE table_name ;

 The INSERT INTO statement is used to add

new records to a database table.
Syntax

OR

Syntax
SELECT column_name(s) FROM table_name
Example:

Firstname

Lastname

Quagmire

Please find the term of :

mysql_fetch_array()
mysql_num_rows()
mysql_affected_rows()
Note: will be frequently used and encountered
when doing select table

 The WHERE clause is used to extract only

those records that fulfill a specified criterion.

 The ORDER BY keyword is used to sort the

data in a recordset.
The ORDER BY keyword sort the records in
ascending order by default.
If you want to sort the records in a descending
order, you can use the DESC keyword.

 The UPDATE statement is used to update

existing records in a table.

 The DELETE FROM statement is used to delete

records from a database table.
