MySQL
- Relational Database Management System
MySQL is a relational database management system (RDBMS) which has more than 11 million installations, and is owned by Oracle. MySQL is a fast, stable, robust, easy to use, and true multi-user, multi-threaded SQL database server.
Run from browser:
@ GitHub:
This appliance includes all the standard features in TurnKey Core, and on top of that:
- Web Control Panel
- Adminer 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: /usr/share/doc/mysql-server-5.1/examples/{small, medium, large, huge}
