MySQL is a popular Database Management System (RDBMS), from the open source domain. It is extensively used by communities that wish to establish a dynamic Web presence.

          MySQL they have dual licensing policy that helps support open source values while being a profitable, sustainable business. All software that wishes to participate in the open source game plan must abide by the GNU public license (GPL). The GPL indicates that all software, (in this case MySQL) can be used at no cost and that its source code is also made available under GPL.

Benefits of MySQL:

MySQL’s outstanding benefits are:

·         Sharply reduced database licensing costs
·         A cut in system downtime
·         Lower hardware expenditure
·         A reduction in administration and support costs.
·         Delivers noticeably less complicated solutions, that complement an existing corporate database such as Oracle,IBM,DB2 and Microsoft SQL Server
·         Effortlessly handles large databases i.e. more than 50,000,0000 records
·         With MySQL there are no memory leakages

MySQL helps reduce/ eliminate major problems associated with downtime, maintenance, administration and support. It offers superior speed, reliability and ease of use.


Using JAVA with MySQL:

          The Sales Management System developed demonstrates using Java, a platform independent language with MySQL as the data Storage system. In this application business data will be stored and retrieved form the sales Management System Database (created earlier) in MySQL named SMS.

The system consists of:
·         A console that displays the product details
·         A database/table(s) that stores business data running on a windows or Linux computer.

To begin the development of the Sales Management System, the following applications should exist on the Windows or Linux computer:

·         Java as the development environment (Version J2SDK 1.4.1_02)
·         MySQL as the data storage System (Version MySQL 5.0.9)
·         Driver for connectivity between Java and MySQL (Version 3.2.0-alpha)
