Chapter 15. MySQL Server and Client
The primary executable file making up the MySQL server is the
mysqld daemon, which listens for requests from clients
and processes them. The general-purpose client provided with MySQL is the
mysql program. This chapter presents the many options
available for both the mysqld MySQL server and the
mysql client. A few scripts provided with MySQL that
are used to start the server (mysqld_multi
and
mysqld_safe
) are also explained. The daemons and scripts
are listed in alphabetical order.
