MySQL is a popular and robust open source database product that supports key subsets of SQL on both Linux and Unix systems. MySQL is free for nonprofit use and costs a small amount for commercial use. Unlike commercial databases, MySQL is affordable and easy to use. This book includes introductions to SQL and to relational database theory. If you plan to use MySQL to build web sites or other Linux or Unix applications, this book teaches you to do that, and it will remain useful as a reference once you understand the basics. Ample tutorial material and examples are included throughout.
This book has all you need to take full advantage of this powerful database management system. It takes you through the whole process from installation and configuration to programming interfaces and database administration. This second edition has a greatly enhanced administration chapter that includes information on administrative tools, server configuration, server startup and shutdown, log file management, database backup and restore, and database administration and repair. In addition, a new chapter on security describes data, server, and client-server security, while a chapter on extending MySQL provides an overview of MySQL internals and describes the use of MySQL user-defined functions.
If you know C/C++, Java, Perl, PHP, or Python, you can write programs to interact with your MySQL database. In addition, you can embed queries and updates directly in an HTML file so that a web page becomes its own interface to the database. Managing and Using MySQL includes chapters on the programming language interfaces, and it also includes a complete reference section with specific function calls for each language.
Also included in the reference section are references to the SQL language, and details of the MySQL system variables, programs, and utilities. New to the second edition is a reference to the internal MySQL tables, which will be of particular interest to those who want to work extensively with MySQL security.

When creating complex Java enterprise applications, do you spend a lot of time thumbing through a myriad of books and other resources searching for what you hope will be the Api that's right for the project at hand? Java Database Best Practices rescues you from having to wade through books on each of the various Apis before figuring out which method to use! This comprehensive guide introduces each of the dominant Apis (Enterprise JavaBeans, Java Data Objects, the Java Database Connectivity Api (Jdbc) as well as other, lesser-known options), explores the methodology and design components that use those Apis, and then offers practices most appropriate for different types and makes of databases, as well as different types of applications.Java Database Practices also examines database design, from table and database architecture to normalization, and offers a number of best practices for handling these tasks as well. Learn how to move through the various forms of normalization, understand when to denormalize, and even get detailed instructions on optimizing your Sql queries to make the best use of your database structure. Through it all, this book focuses on practical application of these techniques, giving you information that can immediately be applied to your own enterprise projects. Enterprise applications in today's world are about data- whether it be information about a product to buy, a user's credit card information, or the color that a customer prefers for their auto purchases. And just as data has grown in importance, the task of accessing that data has grown in complexity. Until now, you have been left on your own to determine which model best suits your application, and how best to use your chosen Api. Java Database Practices is the one stop reference book to help you determine what's appropriate for your specific project at hand. Whether it's choosing between an alphabet soup of Apis and technologies-

Paul was a fascinating man. How did a man who is arguably one of the worst persecutors of the church in the history of mankind become it’s greatest proponent? He encountered Jesus. That moment of transformation on the road to Damascus was so powerful that Paul’s purpose in life changed from persecuting believers to preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ. His letters to the churches flowed from his heart as he both praised their faithfulness and exhorted them to live lives worth of the gospel of Jesus Christ. This 5-week study on Paul's letter to the Philippians will help you learn to: - live everyday with a thankful and joyful heart, - maintain perspective when suffering, - imitate Christ's humility and heart for serving, - guard against self-righteousness, - replace anxiety with peace, - experience contentment, - give generously, and - press on to finish the race of life well! So join us On the Pathway with Paul through the study of his letters to the churches, and be transformed as you apply his truths in your life!

Java and databases make a powerful combination. Getting the two sides to work together, however, takes some effort--largely because Java deals in objects while most databases do not.This book describes the standard Java interfaces that make portable object-oriented access to relational databases possible and offers a robust model for writing applications that are easy to maintain. It introduces the JDBC and RMI packages and uses them to develop three-tier applications (applications divided into a user interface, an object-oriented logic component, and an information store). This book is the key to becoming a more effective application developer for Java database programs. It includes reference listings for JDBC and the most important RMI classes and covers Java 1.1.The book begins with a quick overview of SQL for developers who may be asked to handle a database for the first time. It then explains how to issue database queries and updates through SQL and JDBC. It also covers the use of stored procedures and other measures to improve efficiency, where these are available.But the book's key contribution is a set of patterns that separate the various functions of the Java application and facilitate the growth and maintenance of an application. Patterns allow isolation of critical tasks like object creation, information storage and retrieval, and the committing or aborting of transactions. The book also introduces RMI as a way to distribute objects among systems. All techniques are illustrated with working examples.

MySQL and mSQL are popular and robust database products that support key subsets of SQL on both Linux and Unix systems. Both products are free for nonprofit use and cost a small amount for commercial use.Even a small organization or web site has uses for a database. Perhaps you keep track of all your customers and find that your information is outgrowing the crude, flat-file format you started with. Or you want to ask your web site's visitors for their interests and preferences and put up a fresh web page that tallies the results.Unlike commercial databases, MySQL and mSQL are affordable and easy to use. If you know basic C, Java, Perl, or Python, you can quickly write a program to interact with your database. In addition, you can embed queries and updates right in an HTML file so that a web page becomes its own interface to the database.This book is all you need to make use of MySQL or mSQL. It takes you through the whole process from installation and configuration to programming interfaces and basic administration. Includes reference chapters and ample tutorial material.Topics include:
<ul>
<li>Introductions to simple database design and SQL</li>
<li>Building, installation, and configuration</li>
<li>Basic programming APIs for C, C++, Java (JDBC), Perl, and Python</li>
<li>CGI programming with databases in C and Perl</li>
<li>Web interfaces: PHP, W3-mSQL, Lite, and mSQLPerl</li>

The second edition also explains the relationship between Jdbc and Enterprise JavaBeans.
