Install and run MySQL

It would be great if this site had a HOWTO & FAQs Archive that had a thread called "HOWTO: Setup PHP & MySQL."
 
OMG, dude look at the howto archive, I have a howto there, and it works.. take a closer look buddy!

Marc Liyanage has a good "how to" on his web site :

http://www.entropy.ch/software/macosx/mysql/

Realy helpfull, with step by step guide. I installed mySQL on my server using this and it works perfectly.

On the same web site, you'll find other cool packages and "howto" : php4, ImageMagick, Postgresql, Ruby,...

Hope this helps.

I have read that MySQL doesn't keep a transaction log as MS SQL server 7 does. I have also read that there is a way to install MySQL so that it does transactions. Does anybody know any more about that. If I recall what I read correctly, the transactions have to be enabled at the time of installation, so I am holding off on installing it for now.

Yeah, that's right. Have a look at http://www.mysql.com/documentation/mysql/bychapter/manual_Introduction.html#ANSI_diff_Transactions and you can read all about it.

It only works on InnoDB and BDB Transactional table handlers though..

I have been using mySQL on both X and Solaris. Works so damn nice I cannot believe people would actually pay money for MSSQL or something similar..
 
do you have any resources you can point me to. I read info on the innodb web site and mysql but i'm having truble understanding. I'm tryint to install it on both the server and the client both 10.2.

By the way, i'm trying to create an inndb database.

any suggestions?

Thanks a bunch.
