What is MySQL?
The MySQL database server is the world's most popular open source
database. Its architecture makes it extremely fast and easy to
customize. Extensive reuse of code within the software and a minimalistic
approach to producing functionally-rich features has resulted
in a database management system unmatched in speed, compactness,
stability and ease of deployment. The unique separation of the
core server from the storage engine makes it possible to run with
strict transaction control or with ultra-fast transactionless
disk access, whichever is most appropriate for the situation.
DataRide supports the MySQL database as an add on to any hosting
account.
