MySQL introduction

Part of LAMP. One of the most powerful SQL servers out there is called MySQL and surprisingly enough, its free. Yes, free. I now use this instead of MS Access or Filemaker. Postgresql is free too but.. I digress.

Some of the features of MySQL Include: Handles large databases, in the area of 50,000,000+ records. No memory leaks. Tested with a commercial memory leakage detector (purify). A privilege and password system which is very flexible and secure, and which allows host-based verification.
