<title>Getting Started With MySQL</title>
<section>
<title>Background</title>
<body>
<p>
MySQL is a popular database server that is used in various applications. SQL
stands for (S)tandard (Q)uery (L)anguage, which is what MySQL uses to
communicate with other programs. On top of that, MySQL has its own expanded
SQL functions to provide additional functionality to users. In this document,
we'll look at how to do the initial MySQL installation, setup databases and
tables and create new users. Let's start out with the installation.
</p>
</body>
</section>
<section>
<title>MySQL Installation</title>
<body>
<p>
First make sure you have MySQL installed on your system. In case you need
specific functionality from MySQL, please make sure you have the required USE
flags enabled as they will help fine tune your installation.
</p>
<pre caption="Install MySQL">
<comment>(Viewing available USE flags)</comment>
# <i>emerge --pretend --verbose mysql</i>
<comment>(Install MySQL)</comment>
# <i>emerge mysql</i>
</pre>
<p>
Upon completion of the installation, you will see the following notice:
</p>
<pre caption="MySQL einfo message">
You might want to run:
"ebuild /var/db/pkg/dev-db/mysql-[version]/mysql-[version].ebuild config"
if this is a new install.
</pre>
<p>
Since this is a new installation, we run the command. You need to press
<c>ENTER</c> when prompted while configuring the MySQL database. The
configuration sets up the main MySQL database which contains administrative
information such as databases, tables, users, permissions and more. The
configuration recommends that you change your root password as soon as possible.
We will definitely do this, otherwise someone could come along by chance and
hack our default setup MySQL server.
</p>
<pre caption="MySQL configuration">
# <i>ebuild /var/db/pkg/dev-db/mysql-[version]/mysql-[version].ebuild config</i>
* MySQL DATADIR is /var/lib/mysql
* Press ENTER to create the mysql database and set proper
* permissions on it, or Control-C to abort now...
Preparing db table
Preparing host table
Preparing user table
Preparing func table
Preparing tables_priv table
Preparing columns_priv table
Installing all prepared tables
To start mysqld at boot time you have to copy support-files/mysql.server
to the right place for your system
PLEASE REMEMBER TO SET A PASSWORD FOR THE MySQL root USER !
To do so, issue the following commands to start the server
and change the applicable passwords:
<comment>(Note the next 3 lines)</comment>
/etc/init.d/mysql start
/usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root -h pegasos password 'new-password'
/usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root password 'new-password'
Depending on your configuration, a -p option may be needed
in the last command. See the manual for more details.
<comment>(Some MySQL non-ebuild specific information has been removed from here
so as to keep this document as consistent as possible)</comment>
* For security reasons you should set your MySQL root
* password as soon as possible.
</pre>
<impo>
As of mysql-4.0.24-r2, passwords are entered during the config phase making
root password entry more secure.
</impo>
<p>
The config script has already printed out the commands we need to run to setup
our password, so we shall now run them.
</p>
<pre caption="Setting up your MySQL root password">
# <i>/etc/init.d/mysql start</i>
* Re-caching dependency info (mtimes differ)...
* Starting mysqld (/etc/mysql/my.cnf) ... [ ok ]
<comment>(Replace new-password with your desired password)</comment>
# <i>/usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root -h localhost password 'new-password'</i>
</pre>
<p>
You can now test that your root password was successfully configured by trying
to login to your MySQL server:
</p>
<pre caption="Logging into the MySQL server using mysql">
$ <i>mysql -u root -h localhost -p</i>
Enter password:
Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g.
Your MySQL connection id is 4 to server version: 4.0.24-debug
Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer.
mysql>
</pre>
<p>
The <c>-u</c> switch sets the user that will be logging in. The <c>-h</c>
switch sets the host. This will usually be <c>localhost</c> unless you are
setting up a remote server. Finally, <c>-p</c> tells the mysql client that you
will be entering a password to access your database. Notice the
<c>mysql></c> prompt. This is where you type in all your commands. Now that
we're in the mysql prompt as the root user, we can begin to setup our database.
</p>
</body>
</section>
</chapter>

<title>Setting Up The Database</title>
<section>
<title>Creating A Database</title>
<body>
<p>
We have logged in and have a mysql prompt displayed. First let's take a look at
the databases we currently have. To do so, we use the <c>SHOW DATABASES</c>
command.
</p>
<pre caption="Displaying MySQL databases">
mysql> <i>SHOW DATABASES;</i>
+----------+
| Database |
+----------+
| mysql |
| test |
+----------+
2 rows in set (0.09 sec)
</pre>
<impo>
Please remember that MySQL commands should end with a semicolon -- <c>;</c>
</impo>
<p>
Despite the fact that a test database is already created, we are going to create
our own. Databases are created using the <c>CREATE DATABASE</c> command. We'll
create one named "gentoo".
</p>
<pre caption="Creating the gentoo database">

MySQL is a popular database server that is used in various applications. SQL
stands for (S)tandard (Q)uery (L)anguage, which is what MySQL uses to
communicate with other programs. On top of that, MySQL has its own expanded SQL
functions to provide additional functionality to users. In this document, we'll
look at how to do the initial MySQL installation, set up databases and tables,
and create new users. Let's start out with the installation.
</p>
</body>
</section>
<section>
<title>MySQL Installation</title>
<body>
<p>
First make sure you have MySQL installed on your system. In case you need
specific functionality from MySQL, please make sure you have the required USE
flags enabled as they will help fine tune your installation.
</p>
<pre caption="Installing MySQL">
<comment>(View available USE flags)</comment>
# <i>emerge --pretend --verbose mysql</i>
<comment>(Install MySQL)</comment>
# <i>emerge mysql</i>
</pre>
<p>
Upon completion of the installation, you will see the following notice:
</p>
<pre caption="MySQL einfo message">
You might want to run:
"ebuild /var/db/pkg/dev-db/mysql-[version]/mysql-[version].ebuild config"
if this is a new install.
</pre>
<p>
Since this is a new installation, we run the command. You need to press
<c>ENTER</c> when prompted while configuring the MySQL database. The
configuration sets up the main MySQL database which contains administrative
information such as databases, tables, users, permissions and more. The
configuration recommends that you change your root password as soon as
possible. We will definitely do this, otherwise someone could come along by
chance and hack our default setup MySQL server.
</p>
<pre caption="MySQL configuration">
# <i>ebuild /var/db/pkg/dev-db/mysql-[version]/mysql-[version].ebuild config</i>
* MySQL DATADIR is /var/lib/mysql
* Press ENTER to create the mysql database and set proper
* permissions on it, or Control-C to abort now...
Preparing db table
Preparing host table
Preparing user table
Preparing func table
Preparing tables_priv table
Preparing columns_priv table
Installing all prepared tables
To start mysqld at boot time you have to copy support-files/mysql.server
to the right place for your system
PLEASE REMEMBER TO SET A PASSWORD FOR THE MySQL root USER !
To do so, issue the following commands to start the server
and change the applicable passwords:
<comment>(Note the next 3 lines)</comment>
/etc/init.d/mysql start
/usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root -h pegasos password 'new-password'
/usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root password 'new-password'
Depending on your configuration, a -p option may be needed
in the last command. See the manual for more details.
<comment>(Some MySQL non-ebuild specific information has been removed from here
so as to keep this document as consistent as possible)</comment>
* For security reasons you should set your MySQL root
* password as soon as possible.
</pre>
<impo>
As of mysql-4.0.24-r2, passwords are entered during the config phase making
root password entry more secure.
</impo>
<p>
The config script has already printed out the commands we need to run to setup
our password, so we shall now run them.
</p>
<pre caption="Setting up your MySQL root password">
# <i>/etc/init.d/mysql start</i>
* Re-caching dependency info (mtimes differ)...
* Starting mysqld (/etc/mysql/my.cnf) ... [ ok ]
<comment>(Replace new-password with your desired password)</comment>
# <i>/usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root -h localhost password 'new-password'</i>
</pre>
<p>
You can now test that your root password was successfully configured by trying
to login to your MySQL server:
</p>
<pre caption="Logging into the MySQL server using mysql">
$ <i>mysql -u root -h localhost -p</i>
Enter password:
Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g.
Your MySQL connection id is 4 to server version: 4.0.24-debug
Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer.
mysql>
</pre>
<p>
The <c>-u</c> switch sets the user that will be logging in. The <c>-h</c>
switch sets the host. This will usually be <c>localhost</c> unless you are
setting up a remote server. Finally, <c>-p</c> tells the mysql client that you
will be entering a password to access your database. Notice the
<c>mysql></c> prompt. This is where you type in all your commands. Now that
we're in the mysql prompt as the root user, we can begin to setup our database.
</p>
</body>
</section>
</chapter>
<chapter>
<title>Setting Up The Database</title>
<section>
<title>Creating A Database</title>
<body>
<p>
We have logged in and a mysql prompt is displayed. First let's take a look at
the databases we currently have. To do so, we use the <c>SHOW DATABASES</c>
command.
</p>
<pre caption="Displaying MySQL databases">
mysql> <i>SHOW DATABASES;</i>
+----------+
| Database |
+----------+
| mysql |
| test |
+----------+
2 rows in set (0.09 sec)
</pre>
<impo>
Please remember that MySQL commands should end with a semicolon -- <c>;</c>
</impo>
<p>
Despite the fact that a test database is already created, we are going to
create our own. Databases are created using the <c>CREATE DATABASE</c> command.
We'll create one named "gentoo".
</p>
