system (RDBMS)

that utilizes Structured Query Language (SQL) for managing and interacting with databases.

- Installation Process: Step-by-step guidance on installing MySQL on various operating systems,

- Database Creation: Instructions on setting up a new database, understanding its structure, and

performing basic operations such as creating tables and inserting data.

Code Examples:

SHOW DATABASES;

- Using a Database:

USE my_database;
- Creating a Table:

CREATE TABLE users (

id INT AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,

username VARCHAR(50),

password VARCHAR(50)

);

- Inserting Data into a Table:

INSERT INTO users (username, password) VALUES ('john_doe', 'securepassword');

- Querying Data from a Table:

SELECT * FROM users;

Best Practices:

- Secure Installation: Ensure MySQL is installed securely by setting strong root passwords

and removing anonymous users.

- Regular Backups: Implement regular backups of databases to prevent data loss.

- User Privileges: Assign appropriate privileges to database users to enhance security.
