MySQL Database

MySQL is a relational database that offers excellent performance when searching many thousands of records. The MySQL database is available with all hosting accounts. You can access your MySQL database in several ways:

• Account Control Panel (for setup and updates)
• Perl scripts via the DBI interface
• PHP3 scripts
• Java Servlets via JDBC
• Java Server Pages via JDBC

If you plan to get started with MySQL programming and need a reference source, we highly recommend the book MySQL (New Riders, 1999).

For information on using MySQL with PHP3, you might also want to look at PHP3 : Programming Browser-Based Applications (McGraw-Hill, 1999).
