mySQL and PHP

What can I use to setup a database?

The main database available on our system is mySQL which is what you use to create and manage your database files. In order to display them on the Internet you have to use a program such as PHP or Perl.

The Manuals for MySQL and PHP are here:

• mySQL Manual
• PHP Manual

How do I access my database?

From your telnet prompt you type the following command line to access your database:

/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql dbname -u username -pPassword
(no space between the -p and the password)
