<meta projects> and MySQL
The MySQL database server embodies an ingenious
software architecture that maximises speed and customisability.
Extensive reuse of pieces of code within the software and an ambition
to produce minimalistic but functionally rich features have resulted
in a database management system unmatched in speed, compactness,
stability and ease of deployment.
The unique separation of the core server from the
table handler makes it possible to run MySQL under strict transaction
control or with ultrafast transactionless disk access, whichever
is most appropriate for the situation.
Today MySQL is the most popular open source database
server in the world with more than 4 million installations powering
websites, datawarehouses, business applications, logging systems
and more.
Customers such as Yahoo! Finance, MP3.com, Motorola,
NASA, Silicon Graphics, and Texas Instruments use the MySQL server
in mission-critical applications. |
