MySQL is the most popular database system used with
PHP.
MySQL is a very popular, open source database.
Handles very large databases; very fast performance.
The data in a MySQL database are stored in tables. A table is a
collection of related data, and it consists of columns and rows.
MySQL is a database system used on the web
MySQL is a database system that runs on a server
MySQL is ideal for both small and large applications
MySQL is very fast, reliable, and easy to use
MySQL uses standard SQL
MySQL compiles on a number of platforms
MySQL is free to download and use
MySQL is developed, distributed, and supported by
Oracle Corporation
MySQL is named after co-founder Monty Widenius's
daughter: My
For example:
Enter password: *****
Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g.
Your MySQL connection id is 241 to server version: 3.23.49
Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer.
mysql>
To exit the MySQL Shell, just type QUIT or EXIT:
mysql> QUIT
mysql> exit

Once logged in, you can try some simple queries.
For example:
mysql> SELECT VERSION(), CURRENT_DATE;
+-----------+--------------+
| VERSION() | CURRENT_DATE |
+-----------+--------------+
| 3.23.49 | 2002-05-26 |
+-----------+--------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
Note that most MySQL commands end with a semicolon (;)
MySQL returns the total number of rows found, and the total
time to execute the query.

Here's another query. It demonstrates that
you can use mysql as a simple calculator:
mysql> SELECT SIN(PI()/4), (4+1)*5;
+-------------+---------+
| SIN(PI()/4) | (4+1)*5 |
+-------------+---------+
| 0.707107 | 25 |
+-------------+---------+
7
You can also enter multiple statements on a
single line. Just end each one with a semicolon:
mysql> SELECT VERSION(); SELECT NOW();
+--------------+
| VERSION() |
+--------------+
| 3.22.20a-log |
+--------------+
+---------------------+
| NOW() |
+---------------------+
| 2004 00:15:33 |
+---------------------+
8
mysql determines where your statement
ends by looking for the terminating
semicolon, not by looking for the end of
the input line.
Here's a simple multiple-line statement:
mysql> SELECT
-> USER()
-> ,
-> CURRENT_DATE;
+--------------------+--------------+
| USER() | CURRENT_DATE |
+--------------------+--------------+
| joesmith@localhost | 1999-03-18 |
+--------------------+--------------+

If you decide you don't want to execute a
command that you are in the process of
entering, cancel it by typing \c
mysql> SELECT
-> USER()
-> \c
mysql>

To get started on your own database, first check
which databases currently exist.
Use the SHOW statement to find out which
databases currently exist on the server:
mysql> show databases;
+----------+
| Database |
+----------+
| mysql |
| test |
+----------+
2 rows in set (0.01 sec)
11
To create a new database, issue the “create
database” command:
◦ mysql> create database webdb;
To the select a database, issue the “use”
command:
◦ mysql> use webdb;
12
Once you have selected a database, you can
view all database tables:
mysql> show tables;
Empty set (0.02 sec)
An empty set indicates that I have not created
any tables yet.
13
Let’s create a table for storing pets.
Table: pets
name: VARCHAR(20)
owner: VARCHAR(20)
species: VARCHAR(20)
sex: CHAR(1)
birth: DATE
date: DATE
VARCHAR is
usually used
to store string
data.
14
To create a table, use the CREATE TABLE command:
mysql> CREATE TABLE pet (
-> name VARCHAR(20),
-> owner VARCHAR(20),
-> species VARCHAR(20),
-> sex CHAR(1),
-> birth DATE, death DATE);
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.04 sec)
15
To verify that the table has been created:
mysql> show tables;
+------------------+
| Tables_in_test |
+------------------+
| pet |
+------------------+
1 row in set (0.01 sec)
16
To view a table structure, use the DESCRIBE
command:
mysql> describe pet;
+---------+-------------+------+-----+---------+-------+
| Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra |
+---------+-------------+------+-----+---------+-------+
| name | varchar(20) | YES | | NULL | |
| owner | varchar(20) | YES | | NULL | |
| species | varchar(20) | YES | | NULL | |
| sex | char(1) | YES | | NULL | |
| birth | date | YES | | NULL | |
| death | date | YES | | NULL | |
+---------+-------------+------+-----+---------+-------+
6 rows in set (0.02 sec)
17
To delete an entire table, use the DROP TABLE
command:
mysql> drop table pet;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.02 sec)
18
Use the INSERT statement to enter data into
a table.
For example:
INSERT INTO pet VALUES
('Fluffy','Harold','cat','f',
'1999-02-04',NULL);
The next slide shows a full set of sample
data.

mysql>create database bvm;
mysql>show databases;
mysql>use bvm;
mysql>create table [table name] (personid
int(50) not null auto_increment primary
key,firstname varchar(35),middlename
varchar(50),lastname varchar(50),age INT(10)
);
mysql>Show tables;
mysql>describe table_name;
mysql>select * from table_name;
mysql>create database bvm;
mysql>show databases;
mysql>use bvm;
mysql>create table [table name] (personid
int(50) not null auto_increment primary
key,firstname varchar(35),middlename
varchar(50),lastname varchar(50),age INT(10)
);
mysql>Show tables;
mysql>describe table_name;
mysql>select * from table_name;
Insert
Update
Delete
Select
Different practical (for insert , update ,delete
,select)
create database test2;
show databases;
use test2;
CREATE TABLE `users` (
`id` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,
`name` varchar(100) NOT NULL,
`age` int(3) NOT NULL,
`email` varchar(100) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
);
Show tables;
ALTER TABLE table_name
ADD column_name datatype;
ALTER TABLE table_name
DROP COLUMN column_name;
ALTER TABLE table_name
MODIFY COLUMN column_name datatype;
ALTER TABLE [table name] change [old
column name] [new column name] varchar
(50);
ALTER TABLE [table name] add unique
([column name]); (Add unique from table)
ALTER TABLE [table name] drop index [colmn
name]; (Delete unique from table)
DELETE FROM table_name
WHERE condition;
DELETE FROM table_name;
Drop table table name;
TRUNCATE TABLE table_name;
The TRUNCATE TABLE statement is used to delete the data inside a
table, but not the table itself.)
Drop database [database name];
