19.3 Main Components of MySQL
Compared to other DBMS suites on the market, MySQL is relatively simple, and therefore
does not include a sophisticated (or convoluted) list of components. Rather, there is a list
of important programs that make up the MySQL suite. The most important programs are
summarized in Figure
19-4
. The information provided here was adopted from the MySQL
AB Web site (with minor changes to improve readability and clarity). For a more detailed
discussion, the reader is referred to that site. Each program provides a help option that
allows you to access useful documentation on the program in question.
