Database Systems with SQL - Full Course - Database Systems - Installing MySQL Workbench and Starting the Database Server

MySQL is the most popular and leading relational database system. It's easy to use, full of most database features and also runs on all major operating systems, including Windows, Mac OS, Linux, and Unix. The MySQL version is 8.0, available in two editions: 1. MySQL Community, also called MySQL Server, which is free and includes a complete set of database services and tools, and is suitable for non-commercial applications such as education. 2. MySQL Enterprise is a paid edition typically used for commercial databases, and it includes additional administrative applications not included with MySQL Community. There is also the  MySQL Command-Line Client which is a command-line based interface included in the MySQL Server download. On the command-line, you can connect to the database server, perform administrative functions, and execute SQL statements. To run the Command-Line Client, a user must first open Terminal on a Mac or Command Prompt on Windows: Mac: Click on the Terminal application, usually found in the Applications/Utilities folder. Windows: Click the Start button in the Taskbar, then type "cmd", then click Command Prompt. It’s often easier to use a GUI application to interact with MySQL Server, such as MySQL Workbench. After installing MySQL don’t forget to start the server! Subscribe to Appficial for more programming videos coming soon. Also, don't forget to click LIKE and comment on the video if it helped you out!
