MySQL Reference Manual

This is the MySQL reference manual; it documents MySQL Version 3.23.25-beta. As MySQL is work in progress, the manual gets updated frequently. There is a very good chance that this version is out of date, unless you are looking at it online. The most recent version of this manual is available at http://www.mysql.com/documentation/ in many different formats. If you have a hard time finding information in the manual, you can try the searchable PHP version at http://www.mysql.com/documentation/manual.php. MySQL is a very fast, multi-threaded, multi-user, and robust SQL (Structured Query Language) database server.
