This is not meant to be a full tutorial on installing and administering MySQL but a short guide to get you started to make Servoy and MySQL live happily together.
Why MySQL?
Why using MySQL when Servoy ships with the excellent DB server from Sybase bundled?
1) Because it’s possible. (my favorite one!);
2) Because you or your customer already have a MySQL database running;
3) Because you need to access the database from applications other than Servoy and the bundled Sybase license does not allow to do this;
4) Because you want to access the same data that is published trough Apache/PHP on your own or your customer’s website;
5) Because otherwise the Servoy Forum would be a boring place.
Anyways, spend five minutes of your spare time reading the MySQL License before deciding what DB Server you are going to build your Revolutionary App™ on… it is an unusual license and a lot of people are still uncertain if it’s a free software or not. You decide.
