How to Launch Mysql in Linux
If you are using your Linux computer to run a Web server, or alternatively, if your remote location computer uses Linux, then you will need to start MySQL from the command line. MySQL, by default, needs to be started manually if you want it to run. If you are using a remote server, it will likely be set to run automatically. MySQL is an online database application for data recording and manipulation. MySQL is the de facto choice for database needs. MySQL is particularly useful as a web standard due to its integration with the PHP scripting language. This differs slightly whether you have a Red Hat-based Linux or a Debian-based Linux.
