2 Ways to Perform a MySQL Download and Install (Windows 10)
In this sql tutorial about mysql server we will show you how to install mysql on a windows 10-based machine. There are two ways to perform a mysql download and install windows 10:
1) Perform a mysql installation by downloading the mysql server from official sources of MySQL (the website.)
2) Peform a mysql server installation by downloading WAMP server or XAMPP server.
1) MySQL installation through official MySQL sources:
To install the MySQL server through the official sources of MySQL, head over to MySQL downloads page, pick a package that suits your OS, and install the software by following the step-by-step guide.
2) MySQL server installation through WAMP or XAMPP:
To install the MySQL server through wamp server or xampp server, head over to the WAMP Server or XAMPP Server downloads pages, then download and install WAMP or XAMPP.
WAMP stands for:
W – Windows
A – Apache
M – MySQL
P – PHP
XAMPP stands for:
X – Cross-Platform
A – Apache
M – MariaDB
P – PHP / Perl
To use the MySQL server through xampp, download xampp, then install the Cross-Platform (Windows in this case), Apache, MySQL, and PHP stack on your Windows computer or server.
Bear in mind that the WAMP or XAMPP method is only viable if you want to use MySQL server or MariaDB server and develop applications locally. Also bear in mind that neither of these methods are a mysql workbench install. They’re simply mysql server installation – these methods allow you to install the mysql community server on your Windows-based machine. Enjoy!
Here are some mysql faqs with answers should you ever need those sql interview questions and answers for your next sql interview:
Q: How to protect against SQL injection?
A: Don’t pass user input into a SQL query. You really don’t need to pass a mysql advanced tutorial to know this – it’s that simple!
Q: What types of SQL indexes exist?
A: There are B-Tree indexes, R-Tree indexes, hash indexes, covering indexes, clustered indexes, multicolumn or composite SQL indexes, and prefix indexes.
Q: What is the most popular type of a mysql index?
A: A B-tree sql index is the most popular type of a mysql index.
Q: What is the file to adjust mysql server configuration?
A: The mysql my.cnf file on Linux or the mysql my.ini file on Windows is what you should look into. If needed, we’ll make a separate mysql tutorial for beginners on how it works. A mysql tutorial covering which storage engine – myisam vs innodb – to choose is available here: https://youtube.com/shorts/MpVWcYsJqn4
Q: Is there a sql full course or any mysql tutorial that would cover mysql storage engines in more detail in all complex aspects?
A: Not that we know of, but if needed, we’ll make a sql course talking about everything: sql basics, sql queries, sql vs nosql, sql for data analysis, etc.
Q: Is there a big data tutorial for those looking to work with big data on mysql server?
A: Yes, it’s available here: https://youtube.com/shorts/GurccdgcjL0
Q: I’ve heard that MyISAM performs row level locking?
A: No, that’s a common misconception.
Q: MyISAM vs InnoDB performance – which one is better and why?
A: InnoDB – all of the features that were available in MyISAM are now available in InnoDB.
Q: I want to switch MyISAM to InnoDB – what sql query should I use? Is there a sql tutorial that would help me with this?
A: Use this query – it will give you a list of MyISAM-based tables with a SQL query that you can copy-paste to update all of your MyISAM-based tables to InnoDB (replace “sql tutorial for beginners” with your database name):
SELECT CONCAT(‘ALTER TABLE ‘,TABLE_NAME,’ ENGINE=InnoDB;’) FROM information_schema.tables WHERE ENGINE=’MyISAM’ AND table_schema = ‘sql tutorial for beginners’;
We’ve also made other videos about database performance issues, database performance tuning, and database performance testing.
