You need to start learning MySQL right now!

If you are a developer or a business owner, then you already know that all modern websites, CMS, systems, etc use databases. The most popular database engine available is MySQL. Sure there are also other database Engines like Microsoft SQL, MongoDB, PostgreSQL, Oracle SQL, etc.

Without the database, it would be hard to manage a Website, CMS, E-commerce, or any other system as then we couldn’t automate the things that we are currently automating for example in e-commerce each product is easy to import using API or if you need to edit it change some things like price, description, etc you can do that using backend, but imagine that if you wouldn’t have such an option, then you would need to download files, edit them and re-upload and that takes more time also if your client is purchasing something then it is easy to automate from the purchase, payment and till the delivery of the item.

Thanks to databases we can do a lot of interesting stuff easily manage all our content, and information, and keep track of several things that make it easy to create analytical statistics and see how your website or business is growing. But it is critical fact to keep your database secure and for large websites, e-commerce, and CMS you would need database redundancy so that your system is always available. For that, you also need great hosting that provides secure and stable services.

In the tutorial, we will be installing a MySQL server on a Ubuntu Linux hosted on zone.eu VPS server. After the installation, we will be setting up the root account ( the global admin ), creating the MySQL database, creating the MySQL user, assigning the new MySQL user rights to the MySQL database, and importing the database. After all that we will do a simple search from MySQL terminal using query and backing up the database and deleting it. Also starting, and stopping the database and some security advice. Also, we will do the same above mentioned in a Docker so at the end you will also learn how to run, configure, set, and use MySQL in a Docker container. In my upcoming videos, you will also learn how to create MySQL redundant cluster and also other database engine types, so be sure to subscriber on YouTube to not miss it.
