download.
 Installation Packages

• Complete (MSI installer or unzip)

• Essentials
– Excludes Instance Manager, Documentation, Developer
Components.
Select Nearest Mirror and Save File
 <Insert Picture Here>

Step2: Installation
 Installing MySQL

• Run mysql-essential-5.1.50-
win32.msi (or higher version)
• Select type of install…
– Developers select “Complete”
– DBAs select “Typical”

FYI:
The installer contains the components
as shown in the list.
 Finish Installation
• Click the “Next ” several times until the
“ Wizard Completed “ screen.
• Click the “Finish” to complete the
installation.
• Leave the “Configure” box checked.
 <Insert Picture Here>

Step3: Configuration
Configure MySQL Server
On the MySQL Server Instance Configuration Wizard, select the
“Detailed Configuration” and click the “Next”.

To re-launch configuration wizard:

Start->MySQL->MySQL Server 5.1-> MySQL Server Instance Config Wizard
 Selecting Configuration Options

• Instance
– a running MySQL Server process
– or a MySQL Windows Service
• Instance features and properties are determined by
• Parameters
• Startup options
• Active (enabled) components
• Configuration file is my.ini
• Located in the MySQL installation directory
• Select appropriate server type.
• For a trial use, use the “Developer Machine”.
• Perhaps a new concept for some DBAs
• MySQL supports many database storage engines
• Can all run at the same time on the same MySQL
Instance

• Select Multifunction
• Select location for InnoDB files

• Performance Tips

• High performance storage?

– Specify drive letter
• Select a disk that has:
– Space available
– Where OS is not installed
 • Set expected connection.

• Default Port – 3306

• Use the Strict Mode.

Strict mode controls how MySQL

handles invalid or missing input values
• Password for MySQL
“root” account.
• Equiv to “sa” in MSSQL
• NOT an OS account
• Don‟t forget

• Enable access from

remote if you plan on
non-local access.
• Finally, select the “Execute” and the MySQL Server will
start up.
• Clicking the “Finish” completes configuration.
 <Insert Picture Here>

Step4:
Starting/Stopping MySQL Service
At this point, MySQL is installed and started
as a service.

Or, from the command line.

>"C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server

5.1\bin\mysqld" --defaults-file="C:\Program
Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.1\my.ini“
Hint: if you are having any issues append:
–-console
And another tip….

If you use the zip, and not the MSI installer:

• Just unzip to install.

• Manually configure MySQL Windows service

– After unziping, execute the command below in bin directory.
> mysqld --install
 <Insert Picture Here>

Step5: Sanity Check

 Command Line
• If you didn‟t put MySQL your path:
>cd “\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.1\bin”

• Connect as root.
>mysql –u root -p

-u specifies the user

-p means password

>Enter password: <YOUR PASSWORD>

mysql> show databases;

or
mysql> show databases\g
 Inline Help
mysql> help;

More specifics on a particular command, for example for more on

show or create database, etc.

mysql> help show;

mysql> help create;
mysql> help create database;

Exit for now

mysql> exit
 Sample Databases

• Many sample databases available:

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/#sampledb

• Sakila has many examples.

• Follow the installation steps defined here:

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/sakila/en/sakila.html#sakila-installation
 <Insert Picture Here>

Step6: Security
 MySQL Security Model

• MySQL security is based on Access Control Lists (ACLs)

– Connections
– Queries
– Operations users attempt to perform

• SSL-encrypted connections supported between MySQL

clients and servers
– MySQL bundled with yaSSL in version 5.0.10 and up
– OpenSSL also supported

More info about SSL connections:

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/secure-using-ssl.html
MySQL Privilege System

• Authenticates a user connecting from a given host

and associates the user with privileges such as:
– SELECT
– INSERT
– UPDATE
– DELETE
• Ability to have anonymous users
• Privileges for MySQL-specific functions such as:
– LOAD DATA INFILE
– Administrative operations
– Replication
 Connecting to MySQL

• MySQL client expects connection parameters when

accessing a MySQL server:
– Host where the MySQL server is running
– Username
– Password

Sample
Connection
Connecting to MySQL

• MySQL considers both your host name and user name

– Don‟t assume a user name belongs to the same person
everywhere.
– For example: the user user1 who connects from 192.168.0.10 is
not necessarily the same user as user1 who connects from
192.168.0.11
– Note: Wild cards - supports „User1‟@‟%‟ or „User1‟@'%.xyz.com'

user1@192.168.0.10

user1@192.168.0.11
Account Management: root Accounts

• Two accounts are created with a user name of root

– These are super user accounts that can do anything
– The initial root account passwords are blank

– On Windows
• One root account is for connecting from the local host
• The other allows connections from any host

Hint
Connection Name – its just a label – nothing technical
Connection Methods – TCP/IP is typical
Schema == Database

Windows on MySQL
High Availability and Fault Tolerance
MySQL Replication

• Benefits
• Reliability, Performance, and Ease of Use
• Enables data from one database server (master) to be
replicated 1 or more database servers (slaves).
• Asynchronous
• Permanent connections not required
• Updates can be long-distance
• Can replicate
• All or selected databases
• Selected tables
 Windows Cluster

• High-availability for applications, services and data.

• According to Microsoft…

“When services are down or fail, business continuity is

interrupted, which can result in significant losses. Windows
Server 2008 R2 supports many key high-availability features to
help”

• MySQL can run as a “Clustered Service”

• Windows Server 2008 Failover Clustering and MySQL
