 MySQL Tutorial Previous  Next  
 

Preliminary Requirements

To try the examples in this tutorial, a few preliminary requirements must be satisfied:

You need to have the MySQL software installed.

You need a MySQL account so that you can connect to the server.

You need a database to work with.

The required software includes the MySQL clients and a MySQL server. The client programs must be located on the machine where you'll be working. The server can be located on your machine, although that is not required. As long as you have permission to connect to it, the server can be located anywhere. If you need to get MySQL, see Appendix A for instructions. If your network access comes through an Internet service provider (ISP), find out whether the provider offers MySQL as a service. If not and your ISP won't install it, check Appendix I, "Internet Service Providers," for some guidelines on choosing a more suitable provider.

In addition to the MySQL software, you'll need a MySQL account so that the server will allow you to connect and create your sample database and its tables. (If you already have a MySQL account, you can use that, but you may want to set up a separate account for use with the material in this book.)
