Course MySQL Administration

In the course MySQL Administration participants learn to configure and manage a MySQL database.

MySQL Intro

The MySQL Administration course starts with a discussion of the mysqld daemon that runs on the server and a series of client programs such as mysql and mysqldump that can interact with the server. Also the SHOW and DESCRIBE commands and MySQL server variables are covered.

Configuring MySQL

Next installing, starting up and shutting down a MySQL server is covered. Configuring MySQL components and the various storage engines is also treated.

MySQL Architecture

Attention is then paid to the internal architecture of the MySQL server, in which Communication Protocols and Storage Engine Tiers are reviewed. And the data types in MySQL are covered.

Storage and Locking

The course MySQL Administration also discusses storage and locking. The difference between table-level locking and row-level locking is explained. InnoDB is the only storage engine that supports row-level locking and thus ACID transactions.

Backup and Recovery

Attention is also paid to the maintenance of MySQL server including backup, recovery and optimization. Export of data with mysqldump and import with mysqlimport state is treated.

Security

Then it is time for the security of a MySQL installation. The assignment and maintenance of GRANTS and PRIVILEGES as well as the management of users and access rights are discussed. Attention is also paid to operating, file system and network security.

Optimization and Scaling

Finally optimization of a MySQL database is on the agenda. This includes explain to analyze Queries, the use of indexes, the Query Cache as well as the use of multiple servers and replication.

 

Audience MySQL Administration Course

The course MySQL Database Administration is designed for database Administrators who need to administer, monitor and support MySQL databases and servers.

Prerequisites Course MySQL Administration

To join the course MySQL Administration knowledge of the SQL query language and databases is needed.

Realization Training MySQL Administration
