The development of My SQL began back in 1994 with its first release mid 1995. Since then the package has evolved through numerous stages. The system was originally developed by Michael Widenius’ whose daughter incidentally was called My; while the SQL phrase stands for Structured Query Language. My SQL databases are popular for a good reason. The setup enables the rapid delivery of high performance, read-intensive applications. My SQL rises above other RDBMS systems by providing additional functionality including a number of different storage engine options. Storage engines are also dynamically loaded at run time further increasing performance.It is possible to build and install My SQL databases from its source code. However, this can be a very laborious task so more often than not it is installed from a binary package which can then be customised as and when required. On most Linux based platforms the My SQL package can be downloaded and installed with minimal fuss. Originally My SQL was developed as a low end alternative to commercial packages but it has also evolved to support high end needs maintaining the simplicity of use that made so popular. The true beauty of My SQL databases lies in its scalability and the setup can be deployed on distributed server clusters with a number of added performance functions such as caching ensuring the stability of the platform.
