MySQL is extensively used in web application development. It is used as the database component in LAMP, MAMP, and WAMP platforms (Linux/Mac/Windows-Apache-MySQL-PHP /Perl /Python ). MySQL is also used in open-source bug tracking tools like Bugzilla.
MySQL has certain feature that sets it apart from other Relational database management systems such as:
-
Multiple storage engines that allows selection of the most effective for each table in the application
-
Native storage engines (MyISAM, Falcon, Merge, Memory (heap), Federated, Archive, CSV, Blackhole, Cluster, BDB, EXAMPLE)
-
Partner-developed storage engines (InnoDB, solidDB, NitroEDB, BrightHouse)
-
Community-developed storage engines (memcached, httpd, PBXT)
-
Custom storage engines
-
Commit grouping, gathering multiple transactions from multiple connections together to increase the number of commits per second.
-
Web application developers have considerable advantages in using MySQL. These are
-
MySQL has solid data security layers that protect sensitive data from intruders. Rights can be set to provide access privileges to individuals. Security is ensured as the passwords are encrypted.
-
MySQL server is very secure in the area of memory leaks. It has no memory leaks.
-
MySQL have basic features that are just enough for developers and as a result is faster than other major database competitors, such as Sybase and Oracle so as to increase the speed.
-
MySQL is scalable software, which means it can use used for applications that see an increase in volume in the future.
-
It's features support several development interfaces such as JDBC, ODBC, and scripting ( PHP and Perl ). This allows creation of database solutions that run not only in your NetWare 6.5 environment, but across all major platforms, including Linux, UNIX, and Windows.
Our developers will examine client requirements in detail and will identify areas which can be handled using MySQL functionality in the application development process. Our aim in doing this is to bring the best features of this software to help cater to client requirements and thereby help them to carry out the business tasks and functions they desire with your web applications. |
