MySQL Server Hosting

It's architecture makes it extremely fast and easy to customize. Extensive re-use of code within the software and a minimalistic approach to producing functionally-rich features has resulted in a database management system unmatched in speed, compactness, stability and ease of deployment. The unique separation of the core server from the storage engine makes it possible to run with strict transaction control or with ultra-fast transactionless disk access, whichever is most appropriate for the situation.

Features

Cross-platform support

Optimised binaries for a wide range of platforms, including Linux and Microsoft Windows. You can connect to a MySQL database server from all of the major platforms, using virtually every popular programming language.

Independent storage engines

Unique independent storage engines let you choose the type of database storage that is most appropriate for your particular needs. If you need row-level locking and transaction support, you can use the InnoDB storage engine. If your application doesn't require transactions, you can use the MyISAM storage engine for maximum performance.

Transactions

Using the InnoDB or Berkeley DB (BDB) storage engines, the MySQL database server supports transactions. The InnoDB storage engine also supports foreign key constraints.

Flexible security system, including SSL support

The MySQL database server has an advanced permissions and security system, including support for SSL transport-layer encryption. As of version 4.0, the security system also allows you to limit server resources on a per-user basis.

Full-text indexing and searching

Full-text indexes allow you to search fields containing arbitrary text for specific words and phrases, including relevance rankings.

Embedded database library

Using the embedded database library (libmysqld), you can include the full power of the MySQL database server into applications and electronics devices, without your end-user having any awareness of the underlying database
