It's used in more than 10 million installations ranging from large corporations to specialized embedded applications on every continent in the world.” • Top 10 Reasons for mySQL • Random Link • Fastest growing fields

  7. Set up access on the database • From the mySQL command line: • grant select on nallbbco_bonsaidb.* to rfidclass@"%" identified by 'bonsai' ;

  8. Accessing the Database from the Command Line multimedia:~ reiser$ mysql -u rfidclass -pbonsai Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g. Your MySQL connection id is 14 to server version: 5.0.27-standard-log Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer. mysql>

  10. Using Dreamweaver with PHP and mySQL • Dreamweaver is Adobe’s web authoring software and it has fairly good support for php and mySQL. • You can download a trial version of Dreamweaver for 1 month’s free use. • You may use Dreamweaver in either of the MMAS labs - RBH 223 and KH 245 • Those stations are not secure. • Do not leave your files on the desktop - if you work locally, copy the site folder to the server and delete it before leaving the lab. • Logout of the server before leaving the computer. • Close the door behnd you when you leave the lab.

  11. Features in Dreamweaver • Built in validation. • Point and click interface. • Ability to view the code in the Code window; and edit the code for optimization, tweaking and customization. • Instant gratification of previewing in the Design window.
