Databases for Moderate-Sized Organisations and Web Sites.
Intermediate - Advanced Level Users.
MySQL and mSQL are popular and robust database products that support key subsets of SQL on both Linux and Unix systems. Both products are free for non-profit use and cost a small amount for commercial use. Unlike commercial databases, MySQL and mSQL are affordable and easy to use. If you know basic C, Java, Perl or Python, you can quickly write a program to interact with your database. In addition, you can embed queries and updates right in an HTML file so that a web page becomes its own interface to the database.
This book contains everything you need to make use of MySQL and mSQL. It takes you through the whole process, from installation and configuration to programming interfaces and basic administration. It includes reference chapters and ample tutorial material.
Topics include:
-Introductions to simple database design and SQL
-Building, installation, and configuration
-Basic programming APIs for C, C++, Java (JDBC) Perl, and Python
-CGI programming with databases in C and Perl
-Web interfaces: PHP, W4-mSQL, Lite, and mSQLPerl
