MySQL Appliance

MySQL is a relational database management system (RDBMS) which has more than 11 million installations, and is owned by Sun Microsystems. MySQL is a fast, stable, robust, easy to use, and true multi-user, multi-threaded SQL database server.

This appliance includes all the standard features in TurnKey Core, and on top of that:

• PHPMyAdmin administration frontend for MySQL (listening on port 12322 - uses SSL).
• MySQL webmin module.
• MySQL is configured to listen on port 3306 TCP on all interfaces by default.
• For convenience MySQL is configured to accept connections from all hosts by default. In a production environment it is recommended to limit incoming connections to specific hosts:

  UPDATE `mysql`.`user` SET `Host` = 'hostname' \
  WHERE CONVERT( `user`.`Host` USING utf8 ) = '%' AND \
  CONVERT( `user`.`User` USING utf8 ) = 'root' LIMIT 1 ; 
  

Note: MySQL can be further tweaked to optimize performance, for examples refer to:
