MySQL: Learning the MySQL Architecture

Learning the MySQL Architecture

MySQL is an database server and anyone managing the MySQL database server has to learn the architecture, and feature functionality like any other database server. The biggest mistake to make with a new MySQL environment is thinking it is a toy and trivial to work with. A MySQL server needs to be properly configured, tuned and managed like any other database server.

The key to learning any database server is to learn its feature/functionality and the architecture.
